bayberry garden (not the beer hall), persimmons, al forno, cav are all good spots for food and drinks in prov in cranston i like to go to cafe itri or basta

Aquastetics is straight up one of the best specialty aquarium stores in the entire country! They have everything. All the best aquarium gear, fish, and hard scape materials. Check out their Google reviews for tons of photos. Amazing place.

Romney's a RINO however upon taking office, Romney faced a state legislature in which Democrats held 85 percent of the seats. So any healthcare bill he signed would have had to go through that gauntlet.

I've been there I go to the Denny's there a bunch. The developer of the Centre of New England had plans to build a six-lane road connecting the two ends of the boulevard, but when he went into receivership in 2013, the project came to a halt. Eventually, that will get sorted out and the new owner will probably maintain the property. On average e.g. not in special cases like this people tend to take better care of things they privately own rather than the tragedy of the commons with public property. Just like people don't take a rental through a car wash but people will lovingly hand wash their mustang in the driveway. Sure someone might neglect their shitbox until it hits a junkyard but then someone else will buy up the scrap and do something with it. The government won't do anything proactive it will only react if someone raises a stink at least when it comes to maintenance. Also, the government has incentives for grifts, bribes, and favors for any of its projects increasing prices and reducing quality. Whereas a private owner has the incentive to get the best quality for the lowest cost.

My beef with the EP High area is that by the time you hit the school zone signage, you've already gone past the speed limit sign so you don't know what the posted limit is. They should include at least a couple more signs posting the limit around all the school zone markings.

More attention can’t possibly be a bad thing. Also how am I supposed to know what hours the school zones are in some cases? I can’t even see the parking lot until I am well into the school zone. You’re advocating for less safety and accessibility

A small fraction of the spice budget you need to make the boots you lick taste good.

I really like A’s Aquatics in NK. Also second Aquastetics but I never want to drive there. Bridges are hard.

I’d recommend looking at Tower Hill Landings and any other group own by the landings group. Super great/understanding company (at least from what we’ve come across) and usually have openings.

What about a little hike at the Audobon or Stillwater Scenic Trail? Both are pretty mild trails and it’s supposed to be sunny this weekend.

Yes they sent me a website with certain pictures I had to take that I uploaded.

Union Mutual is the company. They were the cheapest and best insurance agent found me. I work with Carey Richmond and Viking out of EP.

Erhm, it’s Romney Care. He’s the one who introduced it. Repubs love to forget that tidbit.

Yep, I do, but I set waze to just alerts (like heavy traffic, police, etc) — I know how to get to work, but I put it on for my commute for the alerts.

I DM’d you some context :)

Yeah, doing public testimony is a pain, but you can do written too. And yeah, that does suck. Do they win by a significant margin? Other option is running someone against them.

I’m not saying this is what YOU should do but if one just says yes I have insurance you don’t get asked for more details and no one asks questions. Source: I may or may not having been doing this in recent years.

Same here man 10 years and had to bail. Glad I was out before it got worse.

Yeah, I’ve been up to the state house a few times to give public testimony… good times. I have good rapport with other members of the GA… it’s just hard when your elected officials are… the way they are. I have a good rapport with the town council… and tbh I think there may be an OMA violation with how it was handled in foster… we will see.

Unfortunately you’re shit out of luck. They hit me with that every year I lived in Rhode Island and it’s complete bullshit. Can’t afford it so they fine you more.

Oh man. I’m sorry.

Yeah, a petition might be your best bet. Another option is sending written testimony to the House and Senate about the legislation. You may not be able to get your rep/senator to vote the way you’d like, but it would get your point across to the other folks on the committee.

ETA: town council? A lot of zoning issues are enacted at the local level. The more granular the level of govt, the more reactive they usually are to feedback.

Quattrocchi. :D /s

Ouch. Who’s your Rep?

Edited to add: would people consider a petition? Like do you think there are enough folks to band together and sign something? That could also spur some action.

Senator Rogers is my elected official.

Tell people to contact their elected official. Honestly, they do listen. Senators and Reps get very reactive if they hear the same thing from multiple people in their district.
