Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 23, 2021 MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 cation. The look of excitement on my adorable seven-year-old granddaughter Lola’s face as she handed her big brother Christian his (Harry Potter) birthday present. Mario Pallotta’s life. Harvey “Hands of Stone” Nadler’s one-on-one hoop challenge. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – take a short trip back. These things were good also: warm, cloudless, carefree summer days that would last forever; the smell of fresh cut grass saturating the air; friends enough for a pickup game of baseball; icecold Coke in 10-ounce bottles straight from the Coke machine; your 10-speed Raleigh, your best friends only a short bike ride away; classic rock blasting from the radio before it became “classic rock”; no mortgage, no debt, no co-pay; parents that are young, strong, invincible, who will live forever. Your future stretched out before your eyes. These things are/were good, if only in your mind’s eye. These things are good, Postscript 1: former Malden High School Principal Dana Brown’s words of wisdom: “Oh Malden... the dirty ‘den’ to some. Been here my whole life; my perspective is warped. Endearing qualities make us Malden peeps. We bounce back; we look out for each other. We move out, we sometimes come back. We remember everything. If we do not remember somebody will clear it up for us. “Our ‘chin nod’ is famous. No words are exchanged, just the quick head up, chin out. I know you, and if I do not, I recognize you. You must have a connection to Malden. “We forgive. We do not forget. It used to be we got along, even if different socially and politically. I worry that we are losing that piece. “We do not tell anyone we are from Boston. We go out of our way to explain we are from Malden, a community a few miles north of Boston. We like Boston, we root for Boston, we value our relationship with Boston. “We are from Malden.” These things are good, Postscript 2: I just love what local artists (many from Malden) have done to the switch boxes in Malden over the years. Malden beautified its thoroughfares by turning these clumsy metal boxes into righteous canvasses in which Malden’s growing art community could express themselves, wherever that inspiration led them. Great job! Naomi Brave and Malden Arts are to be thanked for bringing this art form to Malden after witnessing the happiness it brought to Cambridge and Somerville residents. Artists like Greg Hampton, Ronny Cox, Peggy Stallings, Martha Ferratusco, Paula Spizziri, Vanessa Ly and Bill Filios have transformed these ugly eyesores into beautiful works of public art. So next time you are stuck at one of our insufferable traffic lights or are simply driving by, take a moment out of your busy life and let the artwork reach inside you. It is worth that moment. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ MALDEN PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING The Malden Planning Board will virtually and remotely hold a public hearing at 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, May 12, 2021 on the petition of Premium Properties, Inc.
