It seems like just three months ago that they were closing the Viaduct (that long bridge that descends from the U-District down towards University Village) for repairs a summer of repairs, but as of today, Friday, September 10th at 11 am, it's open again. Get out your longboard and ride! Come on, seriously, how fun would that be?
Imagine, if you will, an idyllic park setting where sounds of children's laughter and shrieks of delight fill the air. You shade your eyes from the sun and catch a glimpse of someone sitting on a nearby bench. Looking around, you discover that this person is at the park alone, which you find strange. “Something’s not quite right,” you think, as you watch him wander through the playground. Your instincts tell you that this person shouldn’t be anywhere near children. Back…

According to Julia Cameron, author of The Artists’ Way, we are all creative, but “in order to retrieve your creativity, you need to find it.” Carol Battistoni and Kate Gavigan are firm believers in Cameron’s writing; so much so, they’ve created a 12-week course designed…
Hot on the heels of our missing/recovered Boxer pups story, we received a plea from new Wallingford neighbor, Brooke: His name is Tycho and he is a 4-year-old male, neutered Bengal cat. We are new in town and heartbroken about losing him. We live off of 40th and Stone but got a call yesterday that he may have been seen around 35th and Densmore. Please help!
