Failures...? Other than the crime, which I blame more on chief wiggums and Howard who thought there was no crime problem in Malden, he seems to be trying a lot harder and bringing in new technology, something the last mayor from the nursing home could not use. It's only been a year, kinda like Obama inheriting the Bush mess, it will probably take a few years to undo the damage of Howard

You are right Paul. That was the problem with the last mayor too. It was the biggest joke. Every time someone came close to running against him, he would give them some job with the City and he would be off an running to get elected for another term. He was by the far the most arrogant man I ever listened to, and we have him to thank for a lot of the mess we are dealing with now! But this is crazy. Imagine a State of the City report and you have to pay to hear it! Really?!

It will be on TV too...

Chris are you referring to MATV. Have you ever watched anythig on that channel. Most times you can hardly hear the audio. Not a very good solution. Now if the Mayor really wanted to let the people hear what he had to say, and really cared about the peoples views he'd hold this Address some place say like The Jenkins Auditorium at the High School so there would be plenty of seats for people to attend if they wanted, and for free, and at a time when his residents aren't working so they can attend. Why do people have to be stuffing their face with breakfast food for ridiculous prices just to listen to him speak? Speaking of the prices? Where is the money going????? The Mayors Fund???? Give me a break.

Actually they don't do that.

And an extra serving of tinfoil.

Oh boy

Quality food from where? You know it's catered. So my guess would be Anthony's, they have a pretty strong hold on the City when it comes to these things. Again, though, quality food? Theres only so much you can do with bacon, eggs, and hash browns, and none of it adds up to those prices.

It was at most $30 for non-members. $100 was the sponsor-level donation.

One hundred dollars for bacon and eggs?? Wholy chitlin's ! What are they gold plated.

I hope so.

Long overdo Rick they were robbed last summer.

There was a robbery there two weeks ago, remember

Stop-N-Shop should have had security gurds a LONG time ago. The police should not be responsable for security at a private company, although that company pays the detail fee, they should have there own security. Which they actually do upstairs watching the cameras, but their should be uniformed guards on the floor near the doors.

They're having a soft opening this week, I believe they are doing the ribbon cutting stuff this next week or the week after.

We went on Wednesday night. Food was excellent and the atmosphere warm and friendly. The chef/owner Roberto made the rounds of the tables talking to people and asking how things were. We will definitely go back. Wishing them the best of luck.

As my husband just pointed out this is not in the league of another pizza joint - quality of food and presentation put them way above.

excellent, we need more good restaurants, plan on going there just as soon as they have cocktails, after all ....dinner without cocktails is just not civilized I mean really, Cuban restaurant without Mojitos, viva le revolution

Looked into this, sounds like like a liquor license is in the works sometime in the future.

I agree, the last mayor was about hiring friends (special assistant organized crime, what ever was the result of that), uncontrolled growth , ignoring crime. He seems to be trying, but did we really need two docksides lol

Might as well be empty as far as I am concerned, but plenty of people like it (what do I know people like Applebee's and Red Lobster too)

There there, Joe, it's okay, now here, take these pills and stop trying to chew through the straps.

Three is a strike out , four is take a walk. Lol

Mario Cantone!! WOW. Stoneham's finest right there.
