Kiddie Parade Still On

The Wallingford Kiddie Parade, heading into its 61st year and scheduled for July 10, 2010, hit a bump in the parade route recently, but thanks to an (ahem) authoritatively written e-mail from Wallingford's own Janet Stillman to the SDOT, the show goes on...this year, at least.

Mad Lib Forums!

Surely you remember Mad Libs? You know, someone would read a sentence, you’d fill in the blank and before you knew it – you had a story! Well – if you spend ANY time at all on the Wallyhood Forums (and if you don’t, you should), you’ll know that between the posts, and the names of those posting – this is a classic case of the truth being better than fiction! Why, just this week we had these words popping up…
