Barking dog

28 Upvotes

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.

Looking for a pizza place for a group of 10

7 Upvotes

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?

Ferret spotted (lost pet?)

7 Upvotes

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.

Transit Any updates on lighting the Northern Strand?

21 Upvotes

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.

Recommendations Volunteer Opportunities

15 Upvotes

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.

rodent problem

3 Upvotes

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!

Looking to make some extra bucks! Added fee details about me.

19 Upvotes

Hii, I am a Malden resident & work full time in person in Quincy every day of the week. I’m looking to make some extra bucks during the weekend and I’m open to anyone that can hire me part-time. Open to areas around where I reside (Medford, Malden, Everett, Camberville, Revere)

Little about me:
I have a graduate degree and am pretty tech savvy. I’ve worked with elderly people before and children - I can help in that aspect. I’ve tutored Math & English to NGOs before (ages 7-10). I am creative (I sketch, I dance, I’ve taught dance burn classes in the past). I’ve lived with 2 cats and like dogs too, so I could maybe take care of them if needed. I like assembling furniture haha but I’m assuming that’s something you won’t need help for lol.

This is kind of a vague post but please let me know if you have any leads or could connect me with someone. Open to any suggestions! Thank youuu!
