A Fake Badge and A Box of Porn

Apparently, there's a guy posing as a cop who's been robbing people in the area. SPD tells us that a 46 year-old male named Ryan James Purdy (aka Tracy Byers) has been on robbery detectives' radar since December, when he robbed several people in Volunteer Park, taking cash and credit cards, after he flashed a fake badge. On February 10, Purdy struck again, but this time, a little closer to Wallingford.  According to the SPD Blotter: Shortly after 2:30 pm on February…

More apartments planned for Stone Way

Looks like plans for a new mixed-use apartment building on Stone Way are in the works. This time, it's on the former site of Stoneway Roofing, at 3636 Stone Way N.

Most know playwright Tennessee Williams for his classics, A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; however, Williams produced a number of one-act plays up until his death. Six of these plays are featured in Stone Soup Theatre’s wonderful production of 5xTenn (or so), running from February 15-March 9.
