The Norfolk Association for Community Living, founded in 1953, is an agency which provides residential or non-residential support for people with a developmental disability. Prior to the 1980s, it operated a special school for the mentally challenged called the Simcoe Lions School when it was operating under the name Norfolk Association for Retarded Children (NARC).
Its treatment program teaches local young adults with special needs how to make their own meals, cross the street by themselves, and other adult-related activities. Eventually, most clients have the option of independent living. The program has been active for many decades and has brought the mentally challenged out of the institutions and into the community. Since no government money is used, fundraisers using calendars for gambling are maintained annually to earn funds for the organization. In order to be accepted by NACL, a person's IQ must be below 100, he or she must not be on a disability pension, and must reside in Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada full time. Otherwise, the person can be referred to a group home (i.e., Woodview Manor in Hamilton) for long-term care and companionship which is open to both developmentally challenged adult males as well as their female counterparts.

The Meadow Glen Mall is a small enclosed shopping mall situated at the junction of the Mystic Valley Parkway (Route 16) and Locust Street in Medford, Massachusetts. Constructed in 1979, the Meadow Glen Mall is a neighborhood mall catering mainly to residents in the inner northern suburbs of Boston, including the communities of Medford, Malden, Everett, Somerville, and Stoneham.
History
Because the mall was built on the site of an old drive-in theatre, the Meadow Glen Mall's original interior consisted of pictures of movie stars and other movie-related decor. Signs posted throughout the mall's parking lot still reflect this theme, naming sections of the parking lot after cinema stars such as Clark Gable and Judy Garland. The mall has since gone through several renovations over the years.
Until 2001, the mall's main anchor tenant was a Bradlees department store that closed when the chain went into bankruptcy. Kohl's opened in its place in 2002. Other past tenants include York Steak House (which was located where iParty is now), Kay-Bee Toys and Waldenbooks.
Toward the end of the 1990's, the Meadow Glen Mall ran the risk of being considered a dead mall, as many of the stores either moved elsewhere or went out of business. The mall has since bounced back, as other stores occupied vacated spaces around the mall.
Around the mid 1990's, ex-drummer of Extreme and manager of Salem band Godsmack, Paul Geary, operated a music lesson shop in the mall, which is in his hometown.
On August 14, 2004 Meadow Glen Mall had celabrated it's 25th Birthday with a giant bash inside and outside of the mall, inclding a cookout, moon bounce, radio disneyand plenty of giveaways.
