• Malden's unique mix of restaurants and gaming grew out of its immigrant population (wgbh.org) — Malden’s downtown is booming with Asian restaurants and a distinctive Gaming District, both shaped by decades of immigrant arrivals and changing demographics. Residents, business owners, and the mayor describe how new eateries, gaming venues, and a large Asian community have transformed Pleasant Street into a diverse, walkable hub where food, culture, and Pokémon Go all bring neighbors together.
• CFO of Boston-Area Spinal Device Company Pleads Guilty to Kickback Scheme (orthospinenews.com) — A spinal implant company that was formerly based in Malden is back in the headlines, as its former CFO has pleaded guilty in Boston to a federal kickback scheme involving surgeons and sham consulting fees.
