Last year, Jordan created a Yard Art Map, showing locations of outdoor art scattered through the neighborhood, and asked readers to contribute to the map by adding more art spots. Since then, the map's grown to about 20 pieces Wallingford-wide, and it just goes to show ya--we've got some great outdoor art! The organizers of Wallingford Walks agree, which is why at this Saturday, they'll be roaming around the neighborhood to enjoy our neighborhood's yard and public art. Everyone is invited…

Back in May, we told you about Jeffrey McCaslin---the guy who called himself "Eric" and burglarized a few homes in the neighborhood. Then, two weeks later, we reported that he had been apprehended.

As a going away gift a friend gave me the book, Tales of a Female Nomad. I consumed it as though it spoke directly to me.  A few months later, I learned of a new book that Rita had written, Female Nomad & Friends: Tales of Breaking Fee…

Teens hold a neighborhood food drive

When Grace and her sister and mom read Nicole Brodeur's piece in the Seattle Times this week, "For some kids, cuts at nonprofit mean fewer meals", it spurred an idea: "The article got my sister and I thinking, and decided with some friends to organize a food drive," Grace wrote to me in an email. "We put up posters around the neighborhood and gave out over 100 flyers. We want everyone to participate in this food drive." Between now and next…
