Located 0.1 mile from my house, I’m ashamed to admit that I walked by for several years without believing there was anything worthwhile inside such an unassuming storefront. It wasn’t until my seemingly impossible quest for high-quality, affordable patio furniture that I decided to check the …
B.F. Day Elementary made a visible statement about peace on March 14th. Kiro 7 helicopters captured the above image. After 25,000 people viewed the video on Kiro’s website they decided to write a special piece on what made the elementary school want to participate in what was called a “school walkout” elsewhere.

As I reported in November, the City has released the “Preferred Alternative” maps for proposed zoning changes under HALA (if you don’t know what HALA is, you can find out more here).

Ever since I have lived in Wallingford, the restaurant Joule has been a hit, and so I assumed it had always been that way. I’ve been reading My Rice Bowl, Rachel Yang’s new book, which I eagerly purchased on the day of its release in late September. Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi are chefs/owners at Joule, Revel and Trove. I love their restaurants.
According to the book, Joule wasn’t a huge success initially. They opened in November 2007 on N 45th Street in Wallingford and initially had some popularity and good reviews. However:
One cold Tuesday in the winter… we …
