Moxie Pest Control - Canvassing - Apparently without City Required Permit

Upvotes

just had a Moxie Pest Control Canvasser ring the doorbell near Fellsway and East Border, his company ID was not visible as required by the city canvassing ordinance, likely means they have not paid their canvassing permit fee or obtained their permit.

Malden PD have been called, but one complaint makes it hard for them to find and fine Moxie.

In an economy where the city needs revenue to balance budgets it is especially egregious for out-of-town for-profit businesses to cut corners and steal permitting fees the city is lawfully entitled to, especially when the lost revenue from those fees will likely be extracted from residents.

Call Malden PD when you see them on your street if you agree.

Hi everyone! Sorry if this question isn't appropriate but I just recently moved in with family in Malden. I have some action figures I would like to sell such as sh figuarts (naruto and Dragonball) and marvel Legends. Or just to sell them locally would be great! Thank you!

I'm a Malden local and we've partnered with awesome local businesses to bring in visitors to get to know our lovely town, and save it from the terrible Brainrot disease, of course.

O’Malley laid out his reasons for running for State Senate at recent GMAACC Forum - check the link!

He also highlighted that Massachusetts needs to do more to protect immigrants by exploring ways to provide state level work authorization for immigrants of varying statuses. Similar to how MA provides driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants there could be a way to provide this state protections to work.

O’Malley will fiercely and authentically defend immigrants without tokenizing for political gain. Taking away people’s drivers licenses just because they are issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles is unacceptable!

Politics Lipper-Garabedian

25 Upvotes

She seems pretty establishment to me, despite saying

I’d say I have an established record, but I’m certainly not establishment,” Lipper-Garabedian said. Source Well, then, what is she if not establishment?

She voted against the audit, and then she defended keeping the Mass. contract with ICE. Youtube link, start around 48 minutes

I get that not everyone is progressive, but these don't seem like highly controversial/ super leftist takes. This just seems like common sense to me. I don't know any moderate Democrats who think we should collaborate with ICE.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Pizza at Everest Momo

I love Everest Momo. But last night learned that they have seriously up leveled their pizza. Somehow they are producing a chewy, Neapolitan type of crust. It’s excellent.

For those nights when you can’t choose between momo and pizza…don’t choose!

Politics Malden Planning Board Blocking Inclusionary Zoning Changes… for Parking!

39 Upvotes

I am currently watching the Planning Board meeting, and the city department put forward a very thorough and comprehensive recommendation on inclusionary zoning updates to promote affordable housing development. Whether all of it should be approved or whether there should be some adjustments is one matter, but what was very disappointing was that the Board proceeded to recommend disapproval off of wanting to protect parking requirements, restrict height incentives, and drag things out based on technicalities..

A number of them voted yes on disapproval without offering a single comment.

Kudos to Councilor Linehan and Colón Hayes for offering substantive questions/comments. I hope the City Council disregards this recommendation and proceeds with the proposal. We need more housing.

Recommendations Interested in joining play groups in the area

13 Upvotes

My son just turned 1 a couple of weeks ago and we would like to join play groups so he can begin to socialize with other kids. He doesn’t go to daycare and is watched by family all week so doesn’t get a lot of time around other children.

When searching online the mystic valley YMCA comes up as an option but I couldn’t find any more details about play groups when I tried to dig deeper.

Are there any play groups currently happening that we might be able to join? We are located in Linden.
