Reply to comment by Familiar-Ending in Advice regarding Westerly by PinkSwallowLove
I should clarify, Westerly seems to be distant from the more populous urban areas in Rhode Island and socioeconomically and culturally more integrated with the southeastern CT communities.
I should also have made it clear that I am writing from a public transportation perspective since I don’t drive, and my observation has been that southern Rhode Island seems poorly connected with itself.
There are frequent buses that take you from Newport to Providence every day of the week, for example, and the bus system coverage (while definitely nowhere near perfect at all and has a long way to improve) is decent enough throughout and within the Providence metro area (Pawtucket to Prov, or Warwick to Prov, etc). Going in the north-south direction from Newport to Providence is not that bad. Going in the east west direction from Newport to Westerly is far worse because there just isn’t enough public transit options to take you directly there. You’d have to go through Providence (via bus or a mix of bus and train) to get from Newport to Westerly for the fastest route. There just doesn’t seem to be an integrated bus line that takes you directly through Newport-Jamestown-SK-Charlestown-Westerly. I guess what I am trying to say is commuting within the populous eastern RI corridor (even from its southern extremity in Newport to the northern reaches of Providence) is much easier than commuting from eastern RI to Western/southwestern RI via public transportation.

You might want to check out Bristol/warren. Similar features, more housing, can easily commute to Newport.

Lol I don’t understand your Westerly geographical isolation analogy. Newport part of an actual island.

You picked up a new boyfriend and an extra kid in the last two weeks?

I love the down votes. I give them facts and because of their political ideology, they can’t accept the truth.

Honestly changing your lightbulbs makes a HUGE difference. I can't believe there are still people using incandescent.
But I get your point. It's like "Here's a hot tip to save money! Use less electricity. Have you tried shutting off the TV and lights and just sitting alone in the dark with your thoughts?"

I had a really amazing one from Lasalle bakery in PVD. This was in November so not sure if it’s seasonal.

Any place that sells "fresh baked" pies does not make the pies. They buy frozen pie from Sysco or the like and bake it on property. If that's your thing, any supermarket pie will do. But if you want something else, Pastiche or Wright's Dairy Farm have it. I think Pastiche offers a Dutch apple pie, which has a crumble instead of a top crust. Great for a la mode.

Unpopular opinion but it’s kind of overrated. I think between the fun name and the portion size to cost it’s popular. Definitely too rich and there are better options out there.

That's wild! I've never had an issue with their cake slices from the case. Maybe a flavor/texture of cake I didn't particularly like over the years, but nothing stale. That's disappointing.

There are a lot of things that can be done but it’s 1am and I respectfully don’t feel like getting into a Reddit debate.

I find it so absolutely incredible that there are still people out there that think elected officials somehow control the price of energy.
But then again, I probably shouldn’t be surprised.

They keep electing the same officials and expect change.

No one is going to rent an apartment to two unemployed adults.
I would stop trying to waste energy looking for that to happen and start looking for shelters.
