Musicians played outside of Wallingford Center and I was guaranteed to run into a handful of people I knew along the way, stop for a conversation and perhaps be introduced to someone new. Somewhere along the way,…

Poetry and Fire Hydrants

Suich writes: "Check out the bright red fire hydrant at the NE corner of 1st NE and NE 42nd...and newly planted grass!  I love this idea!"

Wallingford’s Own Craftsman

If you were to see Jonathan Cohen making his daily trek to the Wallingford QFC with his four-legged canine pal, you might mistake him for an ordinary guy. Having lived in Wallingford for 36 years, he is perfectly at home in this demographic, right down to the khaki work pants and sensible shoes. After a few minutes of conversation, you would piece together that he is a devoted dad who is unabashedly proud of his two children. That he has a…
