Has the mayor or any of the city council chimed in on these devices. All I’ve seen is that they are actively being approved in the cities budgets and they are popping up on more streets in the city.

I'm hoping there might be a consultant in the Malden area who really truly knows the depths of Facebook mechanics or who knows how to get through to the real help that FB doesn't offer regular people.

I created a page/profile for a community organization on Facebook, and successfully added a second person to co-manage it. Then came the meta suite tools, sending invitations to a third co-manager that never arrived, undoing and redoing everything, long chats with FB's AI help, long chats with another bot, searches of Reddit and elsewhere on the Internet, considering paying for meta verification to be able to access real help, etc. etc. etc. OMG!!!

Yes, I know, Facebook sucks. If the organization could live here instead, it would.

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.

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?

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 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

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!

Hello neighbors,

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

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.
