Andrew Malloy has been named the new director of Washington Gateway Main Street. Malloy was previously at Project Place and helped establish a multi-organization street cleaning program. He has lived in the South End for the last four years and is a frequent customer of all the businesses here.

"I've worked right on Washington Street for four years. I get my groceries at Foodies, my dog food at Petco and my hair cut at Tweeds," says Andrew. "I'm really excited to know more about my community as it's an area often overlooked by people...It has a rich history and it's the largest preserved Victorian neighborhood in the country. There's also the rich history of jazz musicians that came here that I've learned about. "I think it's just a really exciting opportunity because there's a lot of opportunities to grow the organization and the Main Street, and most especially, the ends of Washington Street that don't get the attention that other areas do."
