Transit Corridor on 45th

I spent one long, cold year living in Minnesota, where the locals joke that there are only two seasons: Winter and Road Construction.

Surprise Party at Wading Pool

Ask.com is continuing to shower favors on dear little Wallingford and our wading pool. Earlier this year, they donated money to keep the wading pool open on Saturdays, and tomorrow, they'll be throwing a free party at said wading pool from noon to 3 pm.…
