A Mixed Bag
This is what I aspire to be - a little old lady with a trash grabber, shopping bag and really colorful shoes. Great combination of winter coat, shorts and flip-flops. One of those sunny, breezy, cloudy, rainy, sleety days. Early spring.
‘Green Man’ wants your paint
We've lived in our house for 14 years and I think we still have paint for the previous owners sitting on the shelves under the basement stairs. Perhaps that's a bit extreme, but I'd be willing to bet there are a few of you with a couple of gallons of unwanted paint in your basement, too. So, what to do with them? Well, one way to dispose of them is to open the lids and let the paint dry out so…
Hamilton International Middle School
Continuing with our series of school profiles within the Wallingford attendance area, here's a look at Hamilton International Middle School for grades 6-8. Hamilton International Middle School has a student population of 850, which can make incoming 6th graders who were previously regarded as big fish in their elementary school ponds feel like tiny minnows in a vast ocean. But the staff at Hamilton know this, which is why the first day of school is reserved only for welcoming 6th grade…
Neighborhood Projects applications due Tuesday
Take a look around Wallingford (though, I DO NOT recommend this during a torrential downpour). Do you see any sidewalks that need repair, or any streets that would be safer with a traffic circle? The Department of Neighborhoods has what's known as Neighborhood Projects Funds (NPF) comprising both Neighborhood Street Funds and Cumulative Reserve Funds, totaling $1.2 million. These funds will be divvied up among chosen applications and will be spent in 2012 for neighborhood improvements for streets and parks. The…
Wallingford for Gardening
Jane C. spotted Wallingford on This Old House's Best Old House Neighborhoods 2011: Gardening list, and it's a pretty little Wallingford they paint: Colorful kites flying and kids rolling down grassy hills are common sights in south Wallingford's Gas Works Park, a 19-acre green space populated by early-20th-century coal gasification structures—decommissioned, rust-colored symbols of Seattle's industrial revolution. Wallingford is a walkable neighborhood with access to Seattle's Burke-Gilman Trail, a 14-mile path for cyclists, joggers, and skaters. A farmers' market, an independent…
Blowfish in the Wind
Something fishy this way comes, at least if you're down in lower Wallingford tonight. Smell that stench? It's not your compost bin. Have you ever seen that television show, Deadliest Catch? Sometimes the freezers break or the engine fails or some other mishap occurs and the fish die while the boat is still at sea. Then the captain has to dock the boat so it can be fixed. Landlubbers hate that. Fishermen hate it more, of course. Chris C, who works…
What in the Wallingford
Yes, it's time again for our weekly contest (music please), What in the Wallingford, in which you, the reader, guess where in Wallingford a photo was taken, winning fabulous prizes along the way. Now, you may have noticed that we didn't run the contest last week. Frankly, we were a bit disheartened by how easily our photos are being guessed. Several hours is the best stumpery we've managed. Two weeks ago, we thought we had one far off the beaten path,…
