 Posts: 33 First: 4/21/2010 Last: 6/4/2010 | So, after a long apartment hunt, I found one in Medford that I adore and am getting ready to move into. What are my must-dos in our city? How can I avoid looking like the "new guy?" Joe Allen-Black jblack@boston.com Boston.com Your Town Producer http://boston.com/yourtown Follow me on Twitter: @joe_allen_black |

 Posts: 14 First: 10/9/2007 Last: 5/20/2010 | Welcome! To be a local Medfordian... eh, I'm still figuring it out after seven years myself. Here are some things to really get you in the mood: -- Complain loudly if you have to walk more than a block after you park your car -- Don't shovel your sidewalk after a snowstorm. Medfordians love to take their lives in their hands walking in the street, really! -- don't vote in city elections On a more optimistic note: -- a secret gem is the Elizabeth Grady training center on Boston Ave. More for chicks than guys, but all services 1/2 off!! -- Danish Pastry House is amazing. -- Moulton's Seafood is about half the price of Legal's and just as good. Just ignore the wacky decor and the scary exterior. -- Mystic Coffee Roasters recently made me the best cappucino I've ever had in my life. -- Chilli Garden's Sczechuan food is to die for. Oh, you want retail? We don't have that. Though I'm fond of the creepiness of the Meadow Glen Mall... an existential dead zone. |

This summer get passes for Wrights Pond & Tufts Pool, go food shopping at FoodMaster on Salem St. Haines Sq. , ice cream @ Colleens in the square, and along the way you'll need to try all the pizza & chinese food places so you can discuss with others why you like one over the other. Posted by Pondguard1 If you go shopping at Foodmaster, don't call it "Foodmaster". You have to call it "Johnnie's" |

Find the Medford Arts Council on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ And look for the Medford Square Farmers Market this summer. And I second the votes for Bob's on Main Street and for the Middlesex Fells! |

No love for Arthur's? Those people can make a mean canoli. Right on Main Street and not too expensive either - definitely worth checking out.
