Now, Big Tree Bikes has taken up residence on Stone Way, just above 40th next to the Stone Soup Theater.

We know, we know, we swore off the car prowl posts, for fear of creating the false impression that Wallingford is less safe than other neighborhoods (it’s not), but here you’ve got a traveler getting a bad impression of our little ‘hood, so maybe we can help her out. Karen writes:
