New Banners, Who Dis?

A walk, saunter, or waddle down 45th feels a little different today... something catches my eye. It’s purple and green and a little jazzy and wasn’t there last week! I spy with my little eye some new banners announcing the upcoming Wallingford Parade on Saturday, July 11, at 11 am. Ron Waldman, our resident banner guy, worked hard on a recent sunny weekend to get the neighborhood looking festive before the big day! Many thanks to Blake Garfield and his son…

I know I did when I first stopped in. I had just gotten the keys to my new apartment at Stonehedge, making my big move to live closer to my daughter.
