We told ya yesterday that today would be the last Wallingford Art Walk of 2009, but Colleen just sent us some tidbits to further entice: The Wire tapper's will be playing on the Wallingford Center patio. Coloring contest winner will be named. Clowns too. Pedicab...maybe Cutz will feature Alex Gerasev an artist for Russia! The Kerf International in the Wallingford Center will have music art and food! We were with you until the clowns part.
The last Wallingford Art Walk of 2009 is tomorrow, Wednesday October 7th. The weather is supposed to be clear, so get yourself on out of your house and take a stroll. The Wallingford Art Walk web site lists some of the goings on, click the image at right to check it out.

That said, we're not quite sure whether Sara was encouraging us, warning us or threatening us when she said "Wait 'til next year when Baby Z will want to go through the bouncy house at least 20 times!" From…
(Last week, we reported that Wallingford's resident Lorax Nancy Merrill spear-headed a PARK-ing Day parking spot take-over. This week, Wallingford's resident Herodotus Paul Dorpat tells the tale.) I’m posting this to our cherished Wallyhood to share my admiration for Nancy “Appleseed” Merrill, a Wallyhood star for certain: artist, author, tree planter and steward, and resident of Wallingford for 20 years. Most of those years - perhaps all – have been lived in a leaf embraced home on one of Wallingford’s modest…
This report sent in by Lower Wallingford Correspondent, Chris Witwer. What is up with the sound stage & loud electric music on Wallingford Avenue, just below 34th? It seems that the little cul de sac there has been blocked off with "road closed" signs and a music stage has been erected. At 2:45 pm today, some very loud, electrified rock bands did a sound check. My partner (working from home at 35th & Wallingford) wandered out to see what's up. She was…
