>We have a student who came to America with "Coyote", which is a group that helps people. This group gives you a time frame to make a payment of $5000 dollars to those, who bring them to the states. [Emphasis Added]

She apparently has a doctorate in education, is the assistant principal of an educational institution, and yet somehow never learned that you don't put a comma there...or that the comma after "Coyote" should go within the quotation marks...or that "timeframe" is one word.

I know pedantry over grammar is somewhat frowned upon these days, but come on, lady. You're responsible for educating people. Can you at least run your emails through Grammarly before you send them? If not for correctness' sake, then at least so you don't look more ignorant than you already do for not being aware that coyotes are a nefarious cartel?

PSA: If you don't "know a guy" and you can't get to Westerly to go to Ritacco's Market or Westerly Packing, there are a couple places that will ship soupy. Dippers (https://www.supri.com) or Fortuna's (https://fortunasausage.com/cured-salami-meats/soupy-fortunas-signature-salami/) ... Fortuna's is formerly of Westerly and occasionally I find their product at Stop & Shop on Quaker Lane in Warwick.

I'm really glad to hear this.

My partner and I joined January 2022, when it was under the 'new' Esporta label. We paid $25 a month, that included 2 free guests for unlimited time.

Unfortunately, we witnessed everything those poor reviews said. Once, there was even a fight in the middle of the free weight section, and I was sure I was about to witness a murder. Cops were there 3 times for the 6 months that we went there. It was always covered in used paper towels and empty drink cans/bottles. There were drain flies in the bathroom sinks and showers, if they were even operational. Knowing they aren't as bad as it once was makes me want to give it a shot again in the future because I did like the space, amenities and free weights.
