Magoun Square
Magoun Square is an old fashioned neighborhood at the intersection of Broadway and Medford Street, with the smaller Dexter Street. It is close to
Tufts University in neighboring Medford. Magoun Square was named after Thatcher Magoun, a Medford icon who led its shipbuilding industry in the mid-1800s1.
Something you should note, is that the recorded voices on different MBTA buses pronounce this square's name two different ways when approaching the stop. The "male" voice pronounces it "Mc-GOON Square" whereas the "female" voice pronouncees it "Mc-GOWAN Square."
While you're there, grab a draught at
Olde Magoun's Saloon, tap into your inner Rat Pack persona at
Lil Vinny's Ristorante, grab a slice at
Pini's Pizzeria or sample some of the best Chinese food outside of Chinatown at
Wang's Fast Food.
