The transformation of the old Beeliner Diner / abandoned building into the TNT Taqueria (see our May story, 'Chows Foods to open 'TNT Taqueria' for more info) is making progress, including the addition of a walk-up window. Along foodie lines, we noticed in the comments section of that post this unanswered question from Abigail: Please, foodies, post the name of a place to get a delicious , genuine, maybe even grass fed hamburger in Wallingford. Uneeda is outstanding but that’s over…

Neighbors rally at the new ‘Stone34’ site

Wallyhood reader Judy tells us that over 60 neighbors gathered on a drizzly Monday night to protest the new Skanska project in lower Wallingford, "Stone34".
