It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://nypost.com/2023/01/28/rhode-island-school-collects-donations-to-pay-cartel-coyote/

It's a double standard. As a female chef I'm sick of it!! God forbid a woman isn't meek and hospitable. The industry has changed post Covid. We can't staff restaurants. Establishments have shortened their work weeks and have to pay staff higher wages to keep them. They have had to be on the receiving end of abusive customers who feel entitled. The owner of Rebelle will not tolerate it and I commend her for it! Grown adults screaming at 16 year olds scooping ice cream in the middle of a pandemic. It's ridiculous. Stay home and cook your own food until you can learn how to behave!!

Tbf, this is the time frame that a teacher was killed in a hit and run a few years back in PVD leaving after school activities: https://www.abc6.com/mount-pleasant-high-teacher-killed-in-hit-and-run/

It is a cash grab first and foremost, but it can both be a cash grab and an issue with people not paying attention during after school events. My teacher friend was hit by a drunk driver leaving her school lot at 3pm (thankfully in her car).

Hell, I drive over 10+ speed bumps getting home every day which have all been installed in the last 3 years because while I'm a good driver, the bad drivers here ruin it for the rest of us. It's like we're the speed bump capitol of the world.

Do not buy. I feel like that is the go to financial situation, but a total risk if you absolutely do not know the area and are apprehensive about the culture already. You'll be dropping at least 700k on a hunch and if you are that financially well off, you can probably afford to rent for a year while you evaluate where you will actually be happy living here.

The women I meet in Portsmouth have all been married for 20 years. I met several young single guys on dates who drove up to Providence for any and all dates. They didn't have amazing things to say about Newport either other than they drank a lot at bars (but this was several years ago so maybe things have changed). You will be driving up to Providence for probably most dates/young person activities, just fyi. Some locals will consider that long distance for a relationship, as absurd as that sounds, so it may limit your options for relationships.
