Early Childhood Education Resource

Wallyhood is proudly unveiling its newest neighborhood resource, this one for parents and those wishing they were.

Tweedy and Popp re-rented

Hot on the heels of the new auto shop opening where Walt's used to be and a bike company going in where the Essential Bakery was, we learn that the empty space where Tweedy and Popp used to be (before moving to Wallingford Center) has a new tenant. We don't know who yet, just this note by iyqtoo from our comments section of our Walt's post: The former Tweedy & Popp space was leased too! Just last night we were mourning…
