What’s open, Wallingford?

Reader Coco has been keeping us apprised of places open in the neighborhood and that prompted us to make some calls as well. We’ll add more to this list throughout the day, but as the day goes on, please call ahead before making a trip as many places may close early. Here’s what we’ve got so far:

Anyone strapped on their snowshoes and ventured out yet?  Care to post your findings on what’s open and what will be closing early?

As much as I like the idea of returning to simpler times and being self-sufficient, the draw of good coffee, and other modern amenities is too tempting.  Within walking distance, of course! Drop us a line at [email protected] and tell us what you know.

Folks, send us your snow pics, too, via [email protected]!
