Um no...Maybe they would be here with a better attitude and performance if the attorney general hadn't waited a year to screw them on the day the company was closing the deal. Guess they didn't know about the RI kickback system? Oh well, live with what you voted in folks.

If you work remotely, Vermont is going to be an issue with internet access. According to the broadband locator, you’ve got mostly satellite or low speed wireless internet there.

We are spoiled in RI that way, which is the most connected state — every single address here has access to at least one high speed broadband provider. It’s one reason I live here.

Thong has been a fave for the past 5 years or so, but their portions have really shrunk recently. I often pass by Aroy and it always seems deserted. Will have to give it a try based on this rec.

I recently had it done at the same location right near Newport Hospital as @RhodySeth; South County Urology. Dr. Heffernan was excellent. Great experience (for what it is, of course) and no complications. Highly recommend.

This actually reminds me of a place I looked at a while ago near URI. They had replaced the double garage doors with walls but never finished the garage and the realtor claimed that it allowed the next owners to do what they wanted with it… Wow so they could finish it or they could even make it a garage!

Providence water from the source is extremely high quality, but that doesn’t mean there’s not something going on with your pipes (including distribution pipes). You could try testing for copper, lead, etc. at a state certified lab if you’re concerned. Skip the free Lowe’s tests-they’re not reliable. Lead tests used to be offered at PW headquarters but I’m not sure if they still are.
