If you’re willing to drive to Mystic CT, there’s a nice downtown there and the Mystic Village as well

Kind of new to the internet as well. I don't think you fully understand what the meaning of words typed like that.

Weirdo people posting here: “RI residents are entitled psychopaths! What’s up with that?
Wait, why is everyone disagreeing with me and downvoting me?”

Reply to comment by Yogurtsamples in Home insurance inspection by Yogurtsamples
I’ve done thousands of inspections in RI and now in Florida. Some carriers send a letter letting you know someone will be calling, some don’t. As I said, call your agent to confirm. That’s what I always tell anyone who seems hesitant. Also the inspector will have credentials and paperwork showing you carrier, agent, and info on home. A “scammer” won’t have all that, lol.

Reply to License plate covers? by Even-Vegetable-1700
Some people are desperate to “defend their rights” or some shit. The covers block pictures taken by cameras. It’s a pretty hefty fine for having one.

My question is do they even work? Does EZ pass not pick up your plates if you have them? What about the red light cameras?

I guess it’s why didn’t the insurance company notify me first. When someone calls me out of the blue and says they want to enter my home, it’s suspect.
I have no problem complying. My issue, I guess, is transparency and communication with the insurance company.

Reply to Home insurance inspection by Yogurtsamples
I’m an inspector and I never understand the “it’s a scam” thing. A scam, by definition has to have a part where the scammer gets something from the act. An insurance inspection is someone taking photos and looking at your electric panel, furnace, and hot water heater. Where does the scam come in?
Most people who own houses realize insurance companies inspect their homes. Even if you never had one before, you will eventually get a call. The carrier wants info and photos in the file in case there is a claim. It also protects the homeowner if there is a claim, since there will be photographic proof of what the home looked like before the fire, flood, or whatever.
If you have doubts, call your agent. And if you refuse, you will get a letter telling you to comply or get dropped.

Reply to Davisville Middle School teacher tracked by students in their "pedo database" will resign by bostonglobe
The OP wasn't thorough with this article.
The teacher is resigning but the investigation did not prove wrongdoing. The town has many turned every accusation into a witch hunt.
This teacher was NOT found guilty and the district seems stuck between a rock and a hard place because of the AT situation and several in the community issuing threats against the teacher and school.
Either a settlement was given to the teacher or the teacher is going to sue the shit out of the town in the near future because of the local idiots.

Because people think they can opt out of the laws around driving. And it’s a signal you’re an a**hole basically.

I had Traveler's stop by without asking and they discovered I had a five year old German Shepherd by looking in the windows. They cancelled me.

Fane locked it and the adjacent parcel down just as things were starting to happen in the area. Since then, many things have been built and this parcel just sits there. Partially because of the fight about it, but also because it's not affordable. I predict we'll see Fane asking for another $25M from the state to help get it started. And costs will be cut in construction. It never was and still isn't feasible. If Fane had never proposed something so ludricrous, those two parcels would already be built out and we'd have some nice amenities for the park.

You probably don't like the way some steel cities have preserved their rusted out factories either, but those cities make a lot of hay with them.

PPS is not anti growth. pay attention. They support tall buildings...in downtown and near 95, where community planning and professional planning efforts over the last few decades have said they should go, for a harmonious cityscape.

It's owned by the Procaccianti company, the same one that demolished the police and fire building.

$85 ticket for display of plates violation. Luckily when this happened to me they threw out the ticket when I put the plate covers in the recycling at the police station. Cited the penal code. Omitted point A because that's about registration tags
§ 31-3-18 Display of plates – Penalties:
(b) Every registration plate shall at all times be securely fastened in a horizontal position to the vehicle for which it is issued so as to prevent the plate from swinging at a height of not less than twelve inches (12") from the ground, measuring from the bottom of the plate; in a place and position to be clearly visible and shall be maintained free from foreign materials and in a condition to be clearly legible.

Tavern is a bar. Bar is a tavern. For me taverns usually have dinners while bars have meals. Lol
