Stone Way Cafe Joins Joule and The Whale Wins

daranee April 19, 2015 6 Comments

A few years ago I was devastated to learn that The Gypsy Cafe at N 35th St and Stone Way N was closing. My family and I were fond of listening to folk music there and attending the square dance every now and again. The place was a little worn around the edges, but it was still good. Then it became The Tiny Ninja Cafe, and I went once to an afternoon concert. It had been remodeled a bit — mostly the exterior was painted black, but it was still very much the same in look and feel if not…

Wallyhood Calendar: Hemp, Andrew Lee, and Chickens

Eric April 17, 2015 1 Comment

Tonight the Meaningful Movies covers industrial hemp with the movie Bringing it Home. The movie dates to 2013 though, and apparently in 2014 the farm bill made it so industrial hemp is now somewhat legalized too. If I remember correctly from college, hemp is the hippie farmer wonder material, kind of like what carbon nanotubes are to the tech world.

Beyond that, Andrew Lee is performing piano on Friday at 8 PM and Saturday at 7 PM for the Wayward Music Series in Good Shepherd Center Chapel. Andrew will be performing the work of composer Randy Gibson, see if the …

Mr Gyros Helps Turn East Wallingford into a Destination

Eric April 16, 2015 12 Comments

Mr Gyros is open and it is everything you’d hope for- economical, super tasty, and friendly. I asked why they chose the spot they did and they said it was small and they didn’t want the overhead of a place with a lot of tables since that doesn’t help them. The pita bread is really nice and they offer to make the food spicy, yet my kids both liked the offerings too. They don’t mess around, offering the same basic menu for lunch or dinner.

The block is really fun now and sort of anchors East Wallingford- you have roller …

Deja vu – Collision at Wallingford Ave N and N 39th St

daranee April 15, 2015 16 Comments

Monday Tuesday morning while driving my kids to daycare, I saw the remnants of yet another accident. Wallyhood reader Stephanie also witnessed the aftermath. She writes:

I was hoping you could do a story on the accident that happened this morning (around 8am) on the corner of 39th and Wallingford.  Looked like one person was going to the hospital and another car actually ended up on the sidewalk (thankfully it didn’t look like anyone was on the sidewalk at the time).  Would love to know what happened because I feel like there are always horns blowing on that corner (and …

Pam’s Kitchen May be Breaking The Curse

Eric April 14, 2015 45 Comments

I ate at Guadalajara when it was a dive bar and got the only vegetarian thing on the menu- refried beans that, when served, still had the can ripples on the side. The place was converted into a family Mexican restaurant with glass and wood carved tables, giving birth soon after to Selena’s Guadalajara. Selena’s had some staying power and the transgender waitress was phenomenal, but it wasn’t great food and towards the end it got empty and sad. I kept hoping it would be taken over by Rosita’s.

Casa Azul stepped in and seemed to have good food but …

It’s Spring in Seattle, There’s a Couch on the Curb

Eric April 12, 2015 16 Comments

Peg Achterman shares her couchrage:

Once it rains even one time – or the crows decide there is something tantalizing in there – or just one dog raises a leg. NO ONE WILL PICK IT UP.

Could we just agree that one day is enough? And there are many many vans that will pick up. Please? It’s just silly and unsightly. Here are some resources: http://www.svdpseattle.org/goods-clothing-donations/ Goodwill: http://www.goodwill.org/donate-and-shop/donate-stuff/ http://www.thesharehouse.org/what_take.htm Seriously – it just takes a phone call.
