Delightful, beautiful birds of all kinds: woodpeckers, titmice, black-capped chickadees, juncos, finches, and more!

Malden does have some cool housing stock scattered throughout the city. A lot of it is concentrated in the West End but there are some cool row houses around the downtown area.
Also the bakery outlet and a fantastic meat market.

After living in Southern Caliornia (where "old" buildings are about 15 years old) I really love all the old architecture all over the city, and Boston in general.

I always feel bad for people who live in places that are limited to chain pizzerias.
I still get confused when I see a Domino's car roll down the street. Who? Why? Whaaaaa?

This is a little biased since I serve on the Board of Directors for MATV, but we have an awesome local cable access station. Better yet, we have an nationally recognized, award winning local cable access station.

1. We are close to a few major highways
2. For the coffee lover, we are a mecca of coffee shops- some chains, some independent, like New England Coffee
3. The best take-out places around!!
4. tons of options for food shopping, and pharmacies
Need I say more? Every modern convenience is within walking distance around here!!
