The curriculum is fantastic- our kids learned so much! They also get outside everyday and do awesome crafts. The school offers many special classes (our kids' favorite was cooking class, from a real chef!) They really create a community for the families, and have many special traditions and events throughout the year. They also offer a great summer camp program that is very well run and convenient. The leadership team is excellent to work with and they run a tight ship. I wish we could stay there forever! But they have given our kids an excellent social and academic foundation for their elementary years.

So you do wanna go to the Mall after all?…read more Fine, let's go to the Mallden. This is a sleepy little suburb in the north part of Boston which doesn't have too much going on but a couple of cool bubble tea shops in the nice little Center area, and it's a little bit removed from the beach Town Beauty but also the good luck of the western suburbs like Cambridge and Allston. This is a quiet and cool little area to the North of Boston which is not far from Summerville and not far from Revere and a little bit further away from Cambridge and Austin and all of that stuff. So it's kind of hard to get to. But if you do come up here there are a few cool restaurants, and some nice bubble tea shops, and I definitely enjoyed myself up here and met some nice people. And if you're not female... you're Male den.

I love my city, born and raised and trying very hard to own and operate a business in this city has…read morebecome in a word, difficult. Parking is a big problem in this city, too many high rises, too many illegal tenants / rooming houses. I know they try hard, but $25 and $50 parking tickets are given out like candy. They have destroyed small businesses in the smaller squares of the city and forced people to go elsewhere. Maplewood square is vicious, there's plenty of places to get your hair done, buy local meats, bank and have a drink if you want. They have however started to put up 15 minute parking spots, this helps one and only one business and I wont mention who that is. Growing up in this area, this square use to have 2 of everything, 2 banks, Maplewood Savings and Malden Trust, 2 drug stores, Aucella and Maplewood (both gone), 2 dry cleaners, 2 convenience stores Essex farms and Sunnyhurst, 2 Lawyers, 2 insurance agencies, you get the gist, it was the square of 2's now it's just a bunch of vacant stores, and the ones that have survived and the patrons who go there are paying the price, that price by the way is $25 to $50 parking tickets. I gave up and sadly a few others are about to. I don't mind parking tickets, as long as they are evenly distributing them throughout the city, but $25 is a lot of money and $50 can be the difference between someone being able to afford groceries for their family. I'm not sure what the solution is, but this is certainly a problem. So be careful where you shop, pay attention to the signs that seem to be changing week to week and know that there are ticket givers, that favor certain store owners. These are facts, if you don't believe me, feel free to inbox me.
