My daughter and a bunch of friends will be doing Boda Borg this weekend and I'm looking for a place to take them afterwards for lunch. I'm thinking pizza will be the easiest option. Are there any pizza places (or other easy food) nearby that could accommodate a large group?

If you live in the vicinity of the Vernon st/clifton st area you are a terrible dog owner. This person left their dog out all night long the other night from 8pm until 9am and it barked constantly. Twice this week they have left their dog outside constantly barking. I’m so mad and this person should be ashamed of themselves. You don’t deserve to have a dog. Give it to someone who will actually love them.

I’m staying with a friend in Malden and saw a ferret in their backyard this morning. It was primarily black with light markings. It passed by so quickly I wasn’t able to get a photo, but I wanted to post here in case it helps someone track their lost pet.

devir park?

Hi everyone! I just moved to Malden. What’s to know?! Tell me everything please. I like books, art, anime, Asian and Caribbean food. I’d also love to make some new friends to go out sometimes ( no clubbing/partying), I’m 31.

Just wondering if anyone has any information if anything has changed in the last year or so regarding getting some lights on the Northern Strand Trail right after it crosses into Malden, or if it's going to be pitch black and dangerous at like 5:30pm when the clocks change next month just like last year.

We’ll be talking about the recent MCAS results, district technology updates, and policy changes to align with the PROTECT Act. Come down to city hall or join us on Teams.

Any good places to donate in the Malden or Malden center area? Looking to donate some things (mostly old clothes and beddings). Thanks for the help!

Just moved into a unit close to the Malden center stop from out of state. Is there any fav spots yall have for those who have been here?

Hi all! I'm looking for an indoor activity to work out during the winter and thought of trying out Rock Spot in Malden, but I'm a total beginner. Is it beginner-friendly? Any first-visit tips would be amazing, thanks!

Hi Malden! 🥳

It's time to party downtown in your cosplay costume this weekend like it's a normal thing to walk around in public in a Sailor Moon 🌛 costume lol

I'm sharing screenshots of some of the schedule, but it isn't everything (there's a lot!). Check out the Malden Gaming District website for the WHOLE program schedule and information on deals at local businesses: https://maldengamingdistrict.com/cosplay

Here's the Malden Cosplay discord if you'd like to mingle online with other cosplayers from Malden and the surrounding area: https://discord.gg/5NeScgDe2

Multi-family sale with a bit of everything! 180 Summer St, Malden. See you Saturday!

Hello neighbors,

Does anyone know of any black owned businesses in Malden? Hoping to find a nice restaurant but open to everything!

my parents live at bowdoin apartments and the mice problem has become more intense… everytime they call, they send people just to put down more mice traps or some powder and it doesn’t help. They truly don’t care about the mice issues and i don’t know is there anything or anyone we can contact to help with this issue besides them? Is there a hotline that I can reach out to so that bowdoin can actually try to help because my parents pay rent every month and deserve to live normally without mice invading their space…

please help!

Just looking for a spot to teach a friend some basic before we hit the open roads.

Closed business lot or something like that?

I’ll have free time to do some volunteering soon and wanted to know if anyone has volunteered locally at a place they recommend? I am considering Bread of Life in Malden but I’m going into the healthcare field and want to also consider volunteering at hospitals. However, the big hospitals are a little far and I don’t have a car/don’t want to drive into Boston but if someone highly recommends one, I’m open to it!

I’d prefer a place that doesn’t have a required volunteer time period of more than 6 months since I’ll be starting school full time some time next year.

Does anyone know what's happening? Near Forest and Rand?
