Post Your Yard Sale—on Wallyhood!

I’ve always been a huge sucker for a yard sale (or “tag sale,” as we called them back in New England). Cruising around the neighborhood on a bike, it’s a low-bar way to have a chat with a neighbor and also a sort of voyeuristic pleasure, like a visit to the museum of someone’s life. There are the tchotchkes from a long-ago trip to Greece, the Easy-Bake Oven harkening back to life in the 1970s, the abandoned exercise equipment yearning to…

The Story of R: The On-Ramp Advocate for Ukraine

Here at Wallyhood, we often write about institutions and landmarks in our neighborhood. This story is about a living icon. If you have spent any time at all in Wallingford, especially near the freeway, you’ve seen him: the trim, steadfastly persistent man with a long beard, sitting in front of now-faded Ukrainian flags. Driving rain or baking summer sun, he sits on his folding chair, waving to the cars lining up to enter the freeway and handing out brochures to those…
