I’m all for Fourth of July celebrations but it’s now SUNDAY JULY 5 at 11pm and they’re still setting off fireworks. I have been putting off calling the Medford pd but this is unacceptable at this point.
Does anyone know the story with this couple?
My husband and I moved onto Fulton a few weeks ago and have started walking our dog toward Target on Fellsway. This is now the second time they’ve verbally harassed us for our dog being on the grass strip next to the public sidewalk.
I spoke with one of their neighbors, who said they do this to people throughout the day. Really bizarre behavior.
Edit: Across from Hickey Park on Fellsway
if you’re going to do events or whatever on public resources (the clippership connector), at least have the decency to not just leave your trash everywhere. Gross behavior
I tried to find a way to contact them but they don’t publish an email address, and I don’t have insta.
I think a viable solution is to living near an airport would be to ask them nicely to move Logan somewhere that inconveniences me less
Thots?
Looks like a couple new public chargers are ready to go!
hi all! i came to reddit just for outside perspectives: i’m a young professional who is looking ahead into life and finding out what my best next steps are.
(edited for more info)
for now though, i ask, where do i need to be financially/career wise to afford a place for my partner and i? we are both part time employed, (always applying of course for steady FT) we have 2 pets in our family, and for now we are not in grad school but plan to pursue at some point within the next few years. regarding when is the move, we are not in a rush but i would say in the Sept ‘27 lease year, if not the year after that. but again id rather hear what i may be facing and then think more about the when.
- i see average studio or 1 beds are roughly 2k, we are aiming for a two bed, or at least a space with enough room for our 2 pets.
- currently employed, w savings, applying to find a steady full time position
- no car, and rely on public transit so i understand additional costs related to that
- WE ARE LOOKING TK RENT! realistically will not be homeowners within the next 5 years at least…
i also understand the general “you need to save every penny right now”, but right now im looking for some realistic numbers, or others situations to how they can afford living out here, no random roommates!
how much should we be making?
am i still looking at doing a PT on the side? babysitting gigs?
am i better off applying to apartment complexes? a townhouse? private landlords?
would appreciate any tips, suggestions, or comments regarding the area. thank you all!
(if i crossposted in this sub, i would consider moving to this area because im familiar.)
I just saw an Amazon truck driver crash into a subaru on Grant Ave just north of Salem St. If it was your car feel free to reach out, I have the license plate number and a pic of the truck.
For folks living nearby - keep an eye out, be careful if you park on the street, and check your cars before driving off. I saw that the driver tried to "hide" the damage they did but putting the piece of the car that they ripped off back rougly into place.
Message our MCAC representative and ask them to revisit the MIT noise plan called Block 2D-2! It’s not fair that our town gets stuck with all the noise, just because Cambridge complained. Make them take their fair share!
Does anyone know if Wright’s Pond is open? The website has a calendar that mentions ‘availability’ and says it’s unavailable but I’m not sure if that’s just for events or similar? Everything else seems to imply it’s open
Work full time as a server/bartender. Long days and am constantly on my feet. Hit me with your recommendations!
I am going to sound like a Karen but can anything be done about an inconsiderate neighbor and his motorcycle? This is an adult in his 40s. He continuously revs his bike up and drives around and around the block. Does not go anywhere. Then he leaves it running on the sidewalk while he goes inside..This is ongoing and has been going on now since May. Yes he has a right to his motorcycle but he is annoying a lot of people for his overly loud pleasure
I'm wondering what's going on in Medford this 4th of July weekend. I'm guessing GABH has something going on. I've got some older kids and I'd love to find some community celebrations!
I just came home from work at 6pm and was disturbed to see my compost not picked up, with the weather forecast to be extremely hot the next couple of days.
I put it out around 7:20 this morning, the pickup usually happens before 9am on my street, but maybe they came early today.
Did anyone else with a Tuesday pickup not get their compost picked up today?
Hi, I'm a 27F and have never had a license. Failed my road test a couple of times and gave up but I want to focus on getting my License this summer. Most of the driving schools I have seen charge $70 per hour and that's pricey for me. Haven't been able to get in touch with the other schools but I am guessing the price will be the same. Please if you know of any cheaper options nearby. Please let me know!
FYI to all of those planning on going to the CBB show tonight at The Chevalier Theatre in Medford (email FYI screenshots)
Anyone else witness the multiple booms and smoke from the manhole fire? Was right by the area for the first 4 or so and now just heard an even bigger boom.
Overheard firefighters say it was a manhole fire and a couple other people said they saw a utility box smoking before the booms.
EDIT: Thank you u/taylorswiftsucks for finding the Medford PD post about it
Hey neighbors! I wanted to share an opportunity that I am launching for Medford residents.
I teamed up with Tufts Professor Amir Hasson to launch the Medford AI-for-Impact Accelerator. This program is designed exclusively for local residents who want to solve a community problem (environmental, social, etc.) using modern tools including AI.
The core idea is simple: If you have a local frustration—whether it's an environmental issue, a neighborhood problem, or something social that just "bugs" you—this 8-week accelerator gives you the tools and guidance (and even an "AI Co-Founder") to turn that frustration into a real, validated project. The goal is tangible: building something that can generate actual sales.
We are offering 10 free spots for Medford residents only for this pilot! Program starts July 20, 2026. Future sessions will be fee based.
If this sounds interesting, here is the link to learn more:

Don't have a problem in mind, we've got you covered. We have 10 Medford specific problems ready for solutions.

This question was asked during the public comment session at a City Council meeting in Winter 2026. Watch the clip below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l3CuBmU_xY
Since January 2024, OR has had a near unanimous representation on the City Council (6/7 Council seats). What do you think?
a) Does OR effectively engage with residents who don't agree with their platform?
b) How can they serve residents who don't agree with everything they say?
c) Are slates good for democracy?
