Wallingford's very own Joule hosts its second annual winter supper series, serving family style comfort food, which to me sounds like just the thing to ward off those winter blues.

Each dinner will have 5-7 different dishes that are to be shared among the table. Please visit Joule's Facebook page weeks…

Izilla is Here to Stay

Back in October, we mentioned that Izilla Toys was going to open an annex store in the Wallingford Center for the holidays, with the hope that they might make the space a second location.  Turns out, they like us so much, they're here to stay.  Though the shop is now closed for renovation, the plan is to re-open some time in mid-January, with a grand re-opening celebration slated for early February. "We were really moved by how welcoming and supportive the…

Volunteer as a Friend to the ‘Friends’

So far, they've done a great job in adding a brand new outdoor play structure, colorful maps on the blacktop, and a basketball hoop. Now in their second…

Five Oranges

Open Books (2414 N 45th St) has a new piece of poetry in their window: (In memory of Bob Kondrak, a lively Wallingford presence and our friend) "Five Oranges" Nothing is lost. One by one the five big oranges in a low bowl on the oak floor disappeared, the five-petaled flower missing a petal each day... This morning one orange rests deep in its center, and the bowl turns to a blossom. -- Robert Sund

Wallingford Photo Snaps Shut

Denny tipped us off that Wallingford Photo Center, the little photo shop in the basement of the Wallingford Center, closed its doors for good as of New Year's Eve. According to their web site, they've been there since 1986. They were also one of the sponsors for our first photo contest back in January 2009, for which we are very grateful. Sorry to see a good business go. Back in December, we speculated that we might see more shop closing after…

Cutz Meridian salon (4515 Meridian Ave N)will be hosting an artist reception for Kathy Liao this Saturday, January 9th from 7 - 10 pm.
