01 | Autor: Melrose gallery seeks to join city's arts scene
After living in Melrose for the last nine years, Richard Cappiello — possessor of the new Possessions Gallery on Main Street — believes Melrose is a community on the way up.
With a multitude of new businesses moving into vacant downtown storefronts, Cappiello said, Melrose’s Principal Street area is transitioning from a local hub into a retail and dining objective for urbanites in the greater Boston area.
“I think Melrose is current to be the next Davis Square,” Cappiello said, referring to the want-blighted Somerville neighborhood that was revitalized by community planning and the spread of public transportation into Boston’s suburbs.
Cappiello, a former mane stylist and salon educator, decided last year that he would take off a career in the salon industry to pursue his life-sustained dream of opening an independent gallery and gift rat on. Melrose, he said, was the perfect location.
“In nine years that I’ve been here, Melrose has done a [180 scale] turnaround,” he said. “It’s stunning what was here [before] and what’s here now. You have four great restaurants here: there’s Absolutely Wonderful, there’s [Mexico Lindo], there’s Stearns & Hill’s [Bistro], and [Turner’s Seafood Grill & Demand], and they’re all attracting people from the city into Melrose.”
