STORE HOURS: 8 AM - 7 PM Mon. - Sat./ Sun. 8 AM - 6 PM Starter Set GIFT CARDS AVAILABLE T It is said in Malden By Steve Freker hat the following must be a nearly unanimous comment made by everyone in Malden and across the world this week as the New Year approaches after midnight Friday morning: “Can’t wait ’til 2020 is over and gone!” **** That one of Malden Square’s newest restaurants had a soft opening this week at 74 Pleasant St. – named Zuru Zuru Ramen & Donburi – an eatery specializing in ramen noodles, tofu and other Japanese-based cuisine, and the term “Zuru Zuru” actually refers to the slurping sound people make when they are eating a ramen noodle bowl. **** That the untold numbers of folks bouncing around town this week like Kramer from the “Free Latte” Seinfeld episode might be purchasers of the new “Extra Charged” Dunkin’ coffee, which began serving the beverage with 20 percent more caff eine than usual on Wednesday. **** That according to folks who attended the “drive-through” appearance of Santa Claus and a host of other holiday- and winter-related characters at Pine Banks Park recently, it was a smashing success. **** That Friday’s drenching rain on Christmas Day washed away about 99 percent of the snow that had been left over from the recent storm, which dumped 13 inches on Malden from December 17-18. **** That in her recent Christmas column, the estimable Virginia Ruane recalls that the existing site of the Pearl Street Restaurant, the well-preserved edifi ce at 53 Summer St., was formerly the Summer Street train depot, and for many years in the 1940s and 1950s it featured a citywide holiday celebration which featured the appearance of Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus every year, drawing thousands to the event. **** That classes resume for Malden Public Schools students beginning Monday, January 4, though all students in the district will be in remote learning mode. Students and staff in the highneeds category are not scheduled to return to in-person learning until January 19. **** That a meeting of the Malden Cannabis Licensing and Enforcement Commission is planned for Tuesday, January 5 at 5:00 p.m. and will be conducted remotely, in accordance with the latest state and local guidance limiting in-person meetings. The past few meetings had been conducted in person. **** That the resumption of receipt of more license applications for cannabis retail outlets for the City of Malden beginning January 11 will be discussed, along with other matters, and a link to the meeting is available on the city’s website: cityofmalden.org **** That on December 22, Malden City Councillors at their last meeting of 2020 were eff usive in their praise for outgoing City Council President Jadeane Sica (Ward 8), who has had the helm for the past two years. They particularly cited her leadership in guiding the City Council through this 2020 year, made so much more diffi cult by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Limited Time!
