The building planned at the site of Wallingford’s only field of fenced-off wildflowers, where the storied Guild 45th Theatre once stood, has undergone its final design review.

The editors here at Wallyhood suggested a story idea to our stable of writers on crime near Gasworks Park, as we’ve noted an infrequent, but fairly steady, reporting of primarily property crime (break-ins and thefts) around that location.
