Some of the early runs of the modern military service plates tend to be right justified instead of center justified

Left newport for nyc like a month ago and I'm in a studio for that price now

Not really a wing joint but Revolution in Pawtuxet Village has great wings.

Whenever I read disgusting stories like this (the slumlord not the poor victims) my blood boils. We still aren’t that far removed from The Jungle, are we?

I guess I'm the frog in the boiling pot, because those prices don't even seem that bad to me.

I was living in Newport up until about 3 years ago. Rent for a 3 bedroom was $1650 ON BROADWAY. Then it randomly went up to like $2400.

I now have a mortgage in Tiverton its way cheaper than the island. I do miss the walkability of Newport, but not for those prices.

One of my other coworkers rents down by the newport hospital. His rent is $2700 for a 2br that's 1000 Sq ft or so with no washer or dryer in unit. Also, appliances might be older then him too.

That "in walking distance " is a premium charge!

These buildings aren't even in Newport, it's in Middletown right across from all the fast food places.

Downtown is a pretty far walk, this location isn't even that desirable as far as the island goes.

Pretty neat, and it's true that Asians in US are smarter than the people in all european nations: https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pisa/pisa2018/pdf/PISA2018_compiled.pdf

Strangely, even the white people in most european nations are dumber than white americans lol

Ouch

Acquidneck

Which island? Newport? BI?

Yep, but they do have washers and dryers in your units. That is the only real selling point as most on island places don't. Ot it's a site wide pay per wash laundry room. Lol

Yikes, that 2 bed 1 bath is 760 sq feet for the low low price of $2k/month.

Iv only been once but my mouth waters for it plenty

Their fries are also really good!

I hope to see updates! I'm convinced most of the multifamily, mill town style building that make up Providence's neighborhood are plagued with these problems. Rented one in Fed Hill where the absolute bare minimum would be done. This sounds even worse.

They will not touch paint unless someone complains. I bet they don't even check it to keep their consciences clean.

What the fuck do we do? How I see it;

A. Enforcement needs to be stepped up and we need to reevaluate standards for all of the buildings that are reaching a breaking point; we all know these in question were built around the same time. The one-off buildings that make up this city make it easy to hide all sorts of issues. I imagine going after a 20 story apartment building is a lot easier than 5 standalone 4 unit multis. That shouldn't be an excuse though.

B. I've always heard about the red tape surrounding building new. Is there truth to this? Might be something to address since the only new buildings I see are far out of my price range to rent solo. Although I'm definitely not making crazy money, I still consider my pay pretty good in comparison to those around my age/demographic.

C. Honestly more of us should probably get off our butts and protest/demonstrate. If it keeps going the way it is, this should naturally happen anyway. The more press coverage on the problem, the more pressure there is on our politicians.

RI = Durks in Providence or Becky’s in Middletown

MA = BTs (not always consistent!, Sturbridge location), Cask N Pig (Dartmouth), Blackstrap BBQ (Winthrop)

Den Den is my go to as well

We know people can behave seriously irresponsible while driving. Just because others cause (even more) harm does not make your misgivings ok.

You are also doing something that can cause others harm or death.

People with your carelessness and attitude ultimately run other people over.

It isn't the fact that you made a mistake (probably countless times given how you try to justify it and make it seem unimportant) but rather that you try to act like it isn't a big deal and justify it.

That's what makes you selfish, irresponsible, and partially rotten. It's your inability to recognize your error, take responsibility for it, and try to avoid committing the error in the future.

And yes I make mistakes but I own them, take full responsibility, then try to avoid making those mistakes.

People like you have hurt and killed pedestrians. Reflect on that.

"people like me" that's funny. I don't operate a vehicle while under the influence like 80% of the people in the courtroom today and everyday. I forgot that going 3 mph at a stop sign instead of completely stopping is sooooo selfish you're right. Congratulations on being Rhode Island's #1 driver and high and mighty law abiding citizen.

Providence isn't ruined you're the worst and Wes ribs always sucked

I’d probably try a mechanic.

Quonset Autobody is my go to place. Despite the name, they do just as much mechanical work as they do body shop. Very fair pricing and always quality work. I know they’re quite busy and were booking a couple of weeks out last time I called. But that might have changed. Definitely recommend them.

I hate all of these words.
