Ummm... Museum of work and culture is a great place. Chan's Chinese food is good. Three Rivers is good. Ye old Fish and Chips too. Woonsocket is a fantastic and odd place. 90% of downtown was bulldozed and they built ugly buildings in its place. Check out precious blood cemetery and see my relatives and tell them hi for me.

Social media is driven by community engagement. If the community is sick, so is social media, addressing the communities problems can correct this, banning social media would ultimately change very little if the community that drove it stayed the same.

Also 2x2 goes through a light faster than single file.

You are permitted to pass on the right if the vehicle in front of you is stopped to go left. But not on the highway. We seem to have gotten this backwards.

If there's turkeys in the road stop fine. But don't just sit there. Flash your lights or blow your horn or creep up and motivate them to move. I ain't got all day for this shit.

Use the climbing lane and stop treating an on ramp yield sign like a stop sign.

And when you have the right of way....... Fucking go. You're fucking up the flow of traffic.

I went to Advanced Eye Care on N. Main Street years ago when I had a stye that wouldnโ€™t go away (I get them every so often and this was one of the longer lasting cases). Usually they would pop and go away on their own, but this was aggressive and painful. They saw me the same day and referred me to RI Eye Institute on E. Manning street on the east side. Just days later, it was painfully removed. I dropped my original optometrist office and have been going to AEC since.

I met lots of great neighbors through volunteering. There's a Cozy Rhody group that picks up trash. The PNPP.org plants trees in spring and fall. You can volunteer at theaters, like Wilbury, and get to see a show for free.

I met some good friends through Meetup. Join groups that interests you. There's a great beer group, a few great hiking groups, etc.

Get a dog. You'll meet plenty of people if it's an approachable dog. I take mine for walks in my neighborhood, and to the Hope Street Farmers Markets.

Go to The Flea and farmers market. They're free to browse. Lots of good people there.

I'm assuming this will include better and affordable family housing, better paying jobs for adults and illegal families so teens don't have to work on top of going to school, more community events, more funding to schools / teachers / counselors, eliminating food scarcity and desserts, making communities walkable and public transit accessible / free...

I guess I can dream.
