All right OG, et all, here’s a string that may go nowhere, but that’s ok, hopefully it will at least answer my question(s)! It’s called “oddities” because I didn’t know what else to call it. It’s just some small things I reme...
MELROSE, MA - Drive-thru testing for COVID-19 will continue Saturday after hours-long wait times Friday. The testing will be in the same location from 1-6 p.m. If you do come, wear a mask and do not bring any pets. Results are expected within 48 hours.A medical worke...
One thing I wasn't clear on in tonight's message from the Mayor, is whether we ALL will be informed of when/where the 3 people who have tested positive have recently been, if they were indeed public places. Could someone clarify that for me? Thank you.
The REAL conservative leader in Melrose, Monica deserves your vote tomorrow for State Rep. Write in Write in “MONICA MEDEIROS, 3 BAY STATE ROAD, APT A, MELROSE, MA”.
We have a plan!!!
The Rising Eagle has landed in Melrose, but its unusual style has caught some off guard. A 5 percent fee has taken some shine off the opening of the anticipated downtown restaurant, but there's a reason for it, the owners said.
She will run in the general election if she gets 150 write in ballots! She KNOWS how to get it done. Write in “MONICA MEDEIROS, 3 BAY STATE ROAD, APT A, MELROSE, MA”.
Don’t put your faith in someone untested in Melrose...vote with your head AND...
Like our taxpayers, our leaders need a panoramic view before they make decisions that affect individuals so significantly. Financial forecasting in budgeting has been considered a best practice for more than a decade. Melrose can do better. Before any tax increase is...
Hey guys, there is this old thin man in his 60's who probably lives on West Wyoming Avenue but is seen walking on Willow St, Corey St and W.Forester street pushing Shaw carts is a violent alcoholic and substance abuser. Please be aware and if you see him walk away. T...
Melrose is a great city, and the next mayor will have a unique opportunity to build on that foundation and lead us into the future. Get out and VOTE TOMORROW....November 5, 2019, be proud of you city.
A “shout-out” thank you to Patty, for including a ‘special’ Seniors’ section on this message board, and to the current owners for continuing it. It’s been fun. Enjoy!
Hi-yo Silver, away!
So the MA General Laws will allow the City of Melrose to cap the number of recreational marijuana sellers at two (actually could be one), but we can have a ‘nail salon’ on every corner. Whatever happened to whatever the market wil bear?
It’s interesting the water and sewer rates increases will be recommended on April 30, 2019. Four weeks after the special election. Apparently the city doesn’t want residents to be thinking about the increase water& sewer rates.
If the override fails, current published budget cuts include:
Council on Aging: Cut $48,214
* Limit Milano Center hours to 8am-1pm (no afternoon programs)
* Cut COA Minibus transportation by 70%
* Reduce volunteer coordinator hours to 2 hrs/wk
Not a scare...
There is power in numbers.
A group of citizens agreeing to run as a slate for both boards, giving each other the strength and wisdom base (since there is a steep learning curve), would begin to fix things. Melrose does not need more of the current batch of clones....

I visit this board almost every day, although I have not lived or visited Melrose in many years.
I was wondering if anyone in the senior population knows or remembers Phil Madden? He was a Melrose police officer who I suspect has long since retired.
He and I we...
You can learn more in the coming weeks. The Melrose Taxpayers' Alliance will be educating you with accurate, factual information to help you make the right choice in the April 2nd election. This is an important vote, so be sure and make your decision based on facts,...
The cemetery "street signs" that were installed over the summer are a nice touch. Now I'll be able to give my relatives an 'intersection location' of where I'll be spending eternity!
"Nurses say No" "Nurses say YES" Thank heavens it's not confusing!
Now the latest is that "all hospitals say NO". That sounds pretty convincing, until you remember that hospitals are indeed for-profit businesses, as much as we sometimes hate to admit it!
Oh well...
Maybe I have forgotten the “mechanics” involved, but why wouldn’t the man recently arrested for “performing a sexual act on himself” in his car at the Wyoming Cemetery, upon seeing the police approaching, just stop???
Score a touchdown, hand the ball to an official, and walk off the field. These 'choreographed' touchdown celebrations have gotten sickening (change the channel or turn away from the tv sickening). You did your job, what you get paid for. Enough already. Do you want y...
In honor of our late Patricia Wright and Bob Snow, we're resurrecting this message board. We've trimmed some of the categories to those most important to the community, so of course YOUR forum must remain! Happy Fall!
To all my friends "out there" (and even to people I don't know!) I hope you have a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year! (And if you can find a channel that has a ball drop at 10 PM for people like me who can't make it `til midnight any more, let me know :grinning: )
For a "fun" time, try driving the new speed limit for a while on Lebanon or Upham Streets, and then pull over and count how many people give you the finger!
On a lighter note (and not in Melrose), I've noticed that the words "DEMO" that were painted on The Ship on Rte 1 recently have been removed, or painted over. Is anyone aware if the developer of the area is making an effort to save this one of the rapidly disappearin...
So I walk into Dunks on LynnFells Pkwy the other morning and step up to the counter to order my coffee and there is a server training a new server. She states to the effect that they do not give Seniors a discount on products unless they ask for it. WHAT? There is al...
The Mt. Hood Park Association announces its 5th annual “Senior Citizen Day at Park” to be held at the clubhouse at Mount Hood on Tuesday, May 9th from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Come join us at beautiful Mount Hood Memorial Park & Golf Course and enjoy the day...
My tax bill says the due date is 5/3, but the Mayor's blog says the final day for payment is 5/1. Which day is it? I only ask because I pay it on the day, until then it's MY money!
Merry Christmas to my "senior friends" (who have lately been conspicuous by there absence on here [:)]!). I hope all is well with you and your families.
Being too lazy to do "research", can anyone tell me if there's a downside to being in this Melrose Community Choice Power Supply Program? Should I just see what happens, or send back the opt out card the City sent?
Well fellow seniors, once again we are being disregarded by the Cit's Administration & those "newbies to Melrose. What is good for them will be a hardship to those of us on fixed income, From what I read in the paper, their position is it;s time for us to go.
50 Y...
GeezerNot enough "new pup stories" coming from you OG (as mundane as one on this board thinks that might be!)
