Looking for something fun to do with the kids tonight? Calvary Wallingford is sponsoring a free showing of Disney's Inside Out at 8pm at the Wallingford Playfield. The synopsis, from IMDB: After young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house, and school.
Beware! The University Bridge will be closed for resurfacing and maintenance projects from 8:00pm Friday, July 22 through 5:00am Monday, July 25. It will also be closed for the same period of time the following two weekends. During the interim, the roadway will be rough, so proceed with caution. SDOT has a bike and pedestrian detour map here. The suggested detour route over the ship canal bridge is approximately 3 miles. The freeway would be much faster.

He pointed north on Wallingford.…

There is a new barber in the neighborhood at the Baseball Barber Shop (4602 Stone Way N). I’m a big fan of the no-frills, affordable, traditional, neighborhood barbershop. There are only a couple options in and around Wallingford so I’m happy to introduce a new face in an increasingly rare business. The Baseball Barber Shop quietly changed hands earlier this year. The new owner, Hamoudi (tel. 206-371-1660), bought the shop from Katie Hansen who had owned and operated it for at least 6 years. When Hamoudi…
