Trailing Stories from the Community Week into our second week, we turn the mic over to Nancy Merrill. We've mentioned Nancy (the Lorax of Wallingford) a number of times, most recently as she has rushed to the defense of Wallingford's trees in the face of our heat and drought-like summer. Here, she shares her story, from back when it all began: It started in 1992, with one little tree on the planting strip in front of my house in Wallingford. The…

This Story from the Community comes from Jayanne: Hi, I’d like to shine the spotlight on my wonderful Wallingford neighbor, Dr. Cary Waterhouse. Dr. Cary is a veterinarian in private practice, but in his free time he helps educate pet owners about common pet issues. If you have a question about your pet, you can call in to the "Ask the Vet" radio show that he co-hosts airing on Sundays at 11 am on AM 570 KVI Seattle Talk Radio (206.421-5757).…

It begins with an hour-long bicycle parade and is followed by a series of bands (Sean Hayes, The Pimps of Joytime, Handsome Little Devils present: Squirm Burpee Circus, Nanda, Portland’s Original…
A while back, we added a link to a list of Happy Hours in Wallingford to our Wallingford Resources page. It was hosted by a local travel site. Well, we're totally fickle, because we're changing the link to point to GoTime's list of Wallingford Happy Hours. We found it to be more complete than the previous list, more readable, plus it has sweet features like the ability to filter down to places that have air-conditioning. Also, it doesn't force us into…
Burning Man, the annual art festival cum bacchanal (or, perhaps more properly, bacchanal cum art festival), is coming up at the end of the month. If you're going and don't have your night-time costumes together yet, there's still time, and Not A Number on 45th St is here to help. They'll be hosting two EL Wire workshops for beginners this month, on Aug 8, 1 - 3 PM and then again on Aug 15 1 - 3 PM. Registration is required…
Back in June, we wrote that Yogalife was opening up a Wallingford location. We just heard from Megan that they've got more than just a yoga studio in mind, and that they have several "pre-opening" events lined up, including one this Sunday, August 8th: It is indeed being opened by Michael Suzerris, owner of Yogalife, but will be more than simply a yoga studio. It will be a multi-use space providing yoga, music, dance and children's programs. We are currently in the final…
