Following up from the story of the weekend, we grabbed these photos that Robert Reis shot of the surprise Presidents of the United States of America show at Wallingford Steps this weekend. The city is a sparkling gem in the background: (Thanks for the link, Ian!)
Word has it that the mystery show Friday night at the Wallingford Steps featured Seattle's own Presidents of the United States of America. Wallyhood wants pictures.
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…
We're very happy to welcome a new sponsor to Wallyhood, the fine folks over at Pangaea Organica, roasting artisan, fair trade coffee right in Wallingford. The second best thing about Pangaea is that they will actually deliver the coffee to your door within a day of it being roasted if you live in Wallingford (or nearby). That is fresh and local! Click their logo to the right for more info. The first best part about Pangaea is that they are donating…

A few weeks back we noted that the writer, music-lover and long-time Interlake and 42nd St Wallingford resident John Ross had passed away. Mary recently posted a comment on that notice letting us know that there will be a memorial service on September 26th: There will be a celebration of John's life held on Saturday, September 26 Sunday, September 27th, 2009 from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m. at Pioneer Hall, 1642 - 43rd Ave E., Seattle, WA (between E.

One of the treats of living in Seattle is that we share the town with many musical greats, such as Bill Frisell, Sir Mix-a-lot, Caspar Babypants and that jam-band guy who lives in Wallingford. Living here means you get to hear them play here, sometimes, too. No, not that jam band guy, sorry. But you will have the opportunity to hear the world-famous jazz musician and composer Wayne Horvitz this Saturday night at the Chapel Performance Space in the Good Shepherd…
