Anyone else just lose power? Forestdale area

My power keeps going on and off!

Hey all - just wondering that can we see the July 4 fireworks from Waitts Mountain? if you know any other quieter places with less crowds to see fireworks, would love some suggestions. TIA

I hit a detour on Medford and thought "I'll just shoot up to Charles" and when I get there, another detour.

FFS.

I walk through Malden Center fairly often and I've seen something that I can't ignore. There's a particular homeless individual who I've seen with different pets over the last few months/year. Most recently, he's had a white cat which he's kept in a very small wood kennel. I hesitate to call it a kennel because it's made of thick wood and has probably only 8" of internal width. Certainly not enough for the cat to lay or sit sideways.

The crate also has slats on the front and two small holes on either side. No openings on the back. Basically no ability for air to flow through. And the cat is stuck in there during these beating hot summer days. It frustrates me everytime I see this. What are resources for dealing with this?

Have definitely seen 1 - 2 coyotes in passing in Forestdale and surrounds (the cemetery, Pine Banks, sometimes on my street), but this morning around 7:30 AM my dog and I encountered a pack of about 3 - 5 coyotes on the upper loop of the part of the trails at Pine Banks between Forestdale Cemetery and Wyoming Cemetery. We got out safely (the dog and I took turns barking/yelling, respectively) but the coyotes seemed less skittish/wary than they have been in the past. Wanted to pass along the info for other folks in this group who use the trails!

The Malden community will welcome five new murals and one light installation piece this summer across the downtown as part of larger strategies to deepen connections between residents and increase foot traffic downtown. The murals are funded through state and nonprofit grants and by local business Boda Borg.

If you have recommendations for someone you've had good experiences with, I'd love to hear them!

hello! i'm moving to malden in a month or so and wanted to see if anyone would be interested in playing pickleball occassionally. perhaps some weekday evenings and weekends?

for what it's worth im a 26 M and would play pretty casually!

on that note - any recommended places to play?

hey folks! i believe this past Friday, 6/26, was supposed to be the day for yard waste, but unfortunately our yard waste (and seemingly our neighbor’s as well) was not picked up.

anyone know why this might’ve happened?

EDIT: looks like they’re a bit behind schedule and are continuing yard waste pick up today (the following Monday)

Wondering if anyone watcheed or attended last night's (6-23) CC meeting? Particulary curious if anyone is as frustrated as I am with the discussion surrounding the Charles cannabis special permit issue?

is it actually possible to see the Boston fireworks from waitts mt park? do people go there to watch? thanks!
