Here are a couple of little-known Malden brushes with presidential fame: Next time you stop in to say hello to fancy talker Paul Solano and have a cold Sam Adams or a plate of those yummy steak tips at Pearl Street Station Restaurant, remember that 68 years ago this October President Harry Truman and his daughter Margaret stopped at the B&M Station on Summer Street and were “mobbed by adoring crowds.” You’re an old time Maldonian if you remember that crazy summer day in 1956 when vice president (and future disgraced 37th president) Richard Milhous Nixon visited our very own Malden Square. A bandstand was set up across the street from the Granada Theatre opposite The Palace of Sweets on Pleasant Street. Nixon was enthusiastically welcomed by a throng of Maldonians, many of them there to cheer on local pols sitting with him. Seated on the dais with “Tricky Dick” that longago afternoon were U.S. Senator Leverett Saltonstall (future Governor), Secretary of State Christian Herter, Atty. Edward Bushell, Atty. Michael DeMarco (Republican City Committee Chairman) and Melrose Mayor Lawrence Lloyd. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end...” I walked the Square just last week and although I miss the Granada and Strand Theatres, W.T. Grant’s, Kresge’s, the West End Bar & Grille, Woolworth’s, Sizzleborg, the Y, the Horseshoe Bar & Grille, the Kernwood, the 99, Walt’s Gun Shop, Jack Haney’s, Roli Music, Charles Gifts, the Daylight Bowling Alley, the Auld New, Tom McCann’s, the Centre Bar & Grille, Louie Klane’s, Brigham’s, Lichey’s Deli, Signor Pizza, No Where’s End, Jack’s Music, Jordan Marsh and Sparks. I am so much loving the new look and fabulous vibe the Square REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 Furlong, James P REVERE BUYER2 SELLER1 Lang, David P SELLER2 now gives off . You can feel the energy and excitement that the many younger residents have brought to the downtown as well as the infrastructure upgrade. Stepping up to the batter’s box – the opening of City Hall and Pleasant Street. Thank you, Mayor Christenson! Let the revitalization continue! Postscript: “What you are about to read is a matter of human record. Explain it: we cannot. Disprove it: we cannot. We simply invite you to explore with us the amazing world of the Unknown ... to take that One Step ... Beyond.” Who, with a straight face that is, can now say that taking down the “Beast That Ate Pleasant Street” was not a good idea?! Believe it or not, there were actually people who wanted that Square killer to remain in place. Go fi gure! Thank goodness we have elected officials who understood the gravity of the situation. Aristotle said, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” Word up!
