“The money’s not here. Your money’s in Joe’s House….right next to yours. And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs. Macklin’s, and a hundred others.”
—— George Bailey, It’s a Wonderful Life
Ron Cox, our great Director at MATV has a dream. He wants to shoot a version of It’s A Wonderful Life in Malden. He has the scenes already blocked, and has picked who will play each part.
We will have to wait a year for this masterpiece, but you can do your part now. It is easy, simply patronize your local businesses. Almost every event, kids program, or non-profit in Malden receives the lion’s share of its support from the local businesses you pass by every day. 45 cents of every dollar you spend there returns to our community in the form of jobs, taxes, or donations to charity. Compare this to less than 14 cents of every dollar spent at a national chain. Do us all a favor, shop and dine locally.
Put your money in Joe’s house—Buy Local
