DISQUS

As a long-time resident of Wallingford, I am a little hesitant to embrace too much change. However, I think change is great if it is done properly. This is a great opportunity to add to the Stone Way landscape. No offense to Nick, but those buildings do look a little tired, and I bet it will cost a tremendous amount of money to keep them functional in the future. I think I remember work crews there a few years ago doing some major renovations and I know I have seen workers around there on a regular basis since then. Also, while the apartments do look like they creat a nice community, the building next door is hideous. Maybe they could just develop half of the block :-)

On another note, the commercial space the developer plans on putting in is a requirement of the City. I bet if you asked them their preference would be no commercial space at all. I didn't go to the meeting, so I am not sure how much commercial they are planning on, but I do agree, the last thing Stone Way needs is more empty commercial space. I guess the bright note is that the developer doesn't plan on building until the market improves.

Can you check advisory scores for Wisconsin???

I live at Wallingford & 35th & refer to it as "Wallingford-on-the-cusp-of-Fremont" when talking to Fremonsters.

Perhaps the Brewing Co. should rename themselves "Fremont-on-the-cusp-of-Wallingford Brewing Company."

Does anyone know when Audit will be out and if the predictions are accurate?

Sad. I was trying to think of the least-difficult way for my 4th of July guests to bus back to Ballard after the Fireworks & considered suggesting they walk up to Wallingford & 45th to catch the 44. But that area seems to be a bit too dangerous for me to want to send them on foot after dark.

I hope MaryElva is ok, and that her faith in the neighborhood is soon restored!

I like Doug's perspective -- how often does a party come to YOU? I'm already starting to feel myself getting into the spirit.

Mmmm, now how can I put my characteristic optimistic lens on this event?

Still thinking...

Thanks Mr. Wallyhood!

Oh dear. I seem not to be as informed as I thought. Mr. Wallyhood (as we refer to you in our house -- as opposed to Mrs. Wallyhood & Baby Wallyhood) -- have you written about a lawsuit or know where I can read more? Thanks!

Can't make it tonight, but appreciate seeing mention of Stonewall & Zan on the blog. Thanks! Happy Pride month!

Doug, be sure to post the address/map to your basement as soon as you're ready for customers! ;-)

Maybe the REG scores were just that bad and they are having trouble deciding what kind of curve to add to all the grades...

One of my favorite Wallingford sounds is the gleeful sound of people sledding down Kite Hill while the rest of the neighborhood is quietly nestled inside their homes. Will there be similar sounds from the kite flying this weekend? I bet something just as pleasant!

woot!!! Thanks Jeff....really appreciate your websites and efforts.

I'm in Delaware and I have no Audit grade. Looks like I might have to wait another month or so, just great...

Seeing as how we were the last Big Ten member to actually win their BCS game, it's tough cleaning up the messes of the dead weight members during Bowl game time.

Jeff, you are the man!! This site is awesome.

Those people that have nothing good to say about you are just pissed that they didnt think of this first. they probably havent even passed the exam anyways...just bitter towards you because it seems like you have a good life!!

No BEC scores in TN yet....

Does anyone know where I can get Tex-Mex style "Breakfast tacos"? Potatoes, egg, cheese, bacon or sausage or mole in a small flour tortilla? In Austin 6 years ago you could get them for $1.25 (they were small -- 2 was a good sized breakfast).

Help! ;-)

tell your husband that he should take you to a nice steak dinner for getting your 75!

what does your husband do? If he has nothing to do with accounting, he will never understand.

I want 300 points, no more and don't need anymore than 300 to be a CPA!!

It's really weird how Stanford keeps winning the Director's Cup when you really never hear of their athletic accomplishments. Are they just decent across the board or do they win the most championships every year?

You know the CPA exam is your life when you keep refreshing another71.com to see if you will receive your score result a day early...

haha, looks like he will do well in the communication section.

I am surprised you and I seem to be in the minority on this topic. I couldn't agree more that the last thing the Big Ten needs is a 12th team.
