The Darlington area of Pawtucket is actually really nice. It borders some shitty spots but the neighborhoods are great. Parks and baseball fields. Miles of paved bike tracks and some neat restaurants that have been there for decades. Quick jump back into Massachusetts. Quick shot to 95 and 295. It’s a hidden gem imo.

Ok i'm just trying to understand what it is you would prefer? Camera, large signage, and flashing lights? Or just camera and flashing lights and remove the large signs all together?

Yep, the correct course of action here is contacting law enforcement.

With that budget, I’d recommend Barrington, Westerly (near Watch Hill), or East Greenwich.

compass rose beach in quonset is pretty small as far as beaches go and is great if your pup likes sand and water, but you might have to park in the ferry parking lot depending on whether they're still doing construction in the beach parking lot.

i thought it would be common sense that schools zones = 20/25mph

This needs to be the default answer to every question posted in r/RhodeIsland and r/Providence.

I say this all the time. 100% the best bagel in RI is at Rebelle. But you will absolutely get down voted for saying it. Bagel Gourmet is okay. Providence Bagel is okay. Neither of them come close to Rebelle. But the stories about the owner are definitely concerning. And for some reason they just never figured out workflow.

Oh totally. The more the better. But really would be surprised if meeting st one becomes permanent without a huge reno inside. Space isn’t set up well right now. But that’s also been the space that can never hold a business (excluding gourmet heaven stealing wages they brought that on themselves).

Ah yeah see I honestly figured that was a replacement for Thayer and the downcity one was a replacement for Brook st but it’s awesome they have 3 locations now. I thought it was still just 2.

Yes but you are well within the school zone by the time you see the school crosswalk sign.
A school crosswalk is no different from any crosswalk though. When someone is trying to cross the street at a normal crosswalk it is the law to stop and in some municipalities that applies without a crosswalk. Maybe the fine for not stopping is higher than it is at a normal crosswalk though.

I haven’t tried BG but can confirm that KK is excellent.

You might be tempted to Move to Newport but I’ll just tell you now , summer traffic with all of the tourists just sucks.
Middletown is close to Newport and has basically everything,movie theater , Home Depot,BJ’s , all the fast food restaurants except for panda and the road structure is just SO much more convenient for getting around even in the tourist months
Portsmouth is very quaint , big yards, lots of homes have views of the water , plenty of parks. I just cannot stand how far away everything in modern life is.

Yeah that patch job was much needed. Especially down by the church. Shit I’ve driven on dirt roads that were smoother than that section

Years ago, East Main anyway, maybe it was 50 but it was 50 or 55. West Main not positive but West Main is 45 for much of it now.
They did recently patch East Main, it was unbelievably bad.

Meeting st location is the replacement (likely temp) for brook st since Brown knocked down the strip that was in. Also whenever I’ve gone to meeting st they usually have already run out of things compared to the Thayer one. So the parking spot at MS is nice but not worth it.

It’s illegal on both counts. The coyote and the person sneaking into the country to become an illegal citizen but this is acceptable now? Either way this is a terrible situation, but they’re paying off a smuggler so the smuggler will do it again. I know they’re trying to do something good but it’s perpetuating a cycle instead of breaking it.

I'm not advocating taking the cameras away at all. I'm saying the flat black signs sans any flashing lights are not as safe as the yellow flashing signs that were actually taken away in some places.
Not every driver is from the area and be honest those black and white signs are not for safety they are there so people will not notice that it is a school zone and get a ticket.
In the western part of the State school zone signs of any type are lacking. Those places should also have a flashing sign indicating school is in session and to slow down.

That last part would be a great idea, the police can’t be everywhere to catch people In the act and litter is a pretty big problems.
I understand why it can’t happen but it would be great if there more ways to catch people in the act.
