Forget professional reviewers. Find out what the people think! Here are the impressions of actual, real-life Wallingford moviegoers as they were exiting The Guild's new film, The Joneses, with David Duchovny and Demi Moore (talk about a eugenics experiment): "For what it was, it was entertaining. It was not deep in any way, an interesting romantic comedy. It came out at the wrong time. In our failed economy, this is more about economic affluence." "Great movie!

Since there's no greater pleasure than answering questions about something you know, we offered to help these lost souls find whatever it is they were looking for. Turns out, it was enormous game, a sort of scavenger hunt, where locations were the object, part of the Seattle Street Scramble. 30 Locations around the University District and Wallingford are…
Those of you that live in lower Wallingford within five blocks of 37th and Sunnyside, are likely acquainted with a dear feline friend that goes by the name of Bodhi. Now, the name Bodhi means enlightenment, but is more commonly linked to the term awakening. This cat fits the bill. He is the most zen creature that I have ever encountered.
