As mentioned in an earlier post, the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce will be donating food to FamilyWorks this holiday season in lieu of spending money on decorating the trees along 45th Street in Wallingford. So - families, friends, clubs, schools - here's your chance to decorate a tree or two or more for the holidays!

Eliza gave us the heads up that Adult Co-Ed Dodgeball is starting up for the season at the Wallingford Boys and Girls Club.

Nobody knows for sure, but it doesn't take a huge stretch of the imagination to envision delays along 45th street through Wallingford late Thursday afternoon and into rush hour.

Soccer nation is alive and kickin' in Seattle. World Cup fever had folks watching games at all hours, in pubs all around town. And now the Seattle Sounders are on a four-game winning streak (did everyone see Montero and Fernandez light up the pitch on Sunday night against Houston), making them fourth in the West, tied for fifth overall in MLS, and most importantly, squarely back in playoff contention. To top it off, a late header from the newly acquired midfielder, Alvaro Fernandez, helped them advance to the group stage…
