Ever been to a Boozy Doodle at Al's Tavern? Nope, this isn't some ploy to get your Labradoodle drunk---though this is Wallingford, so we can see why, you know, people might interpret it that way. Boozy Doodle is all about sketching with Wallingford's sketchiest every Tuesday night, beginning at 9pm. We wrote about Boozy Doodle Drawin' Night last January, when Jordan spied the sign taped to the window at Al's Tavern. Al's Facebook page nicely sums up a description: Come one,…

We're hearing reports that the police have blocked off 46th Street to the west of QFC in Wallingford. We understand that they are negotiating with a mentally ill person who has barricaded him/herself in their house and may be suicidal. This is unrelated to the huge police sting that has been going on on Stone Way and 40th to ticket drivers who don't yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk or who speed. That's what we know now.
