The center of the city has the Stadium Theatre if you'd like to see some decent shows. There's also many restaurants. Not sure about vegan options however.

The museum of work and culture is pretty interesting on the history of the area.

The Blackstone bike path has a few separate entrances, the one I usually explore is Hamlet Ave entrance.

If you go into the woods behind St. Joseph's Veteran's Association on Louise St, you will find some relatively undisturbed woods by the river.

South Main St has some stunning Victorian Era houses to admire.

There are many parks to visit. I like Globe Park, Cold Spring Park, and Cass Park personally.

There's Aero Trampoline Park, a couple of decent thrift stores.

I personally wouldn't recommend Chan's as everyone else has. My best friend worked there and he claims the roach problem is extremely bad. I wouldn't touch that place with a 10 foot pole, the owner, John Chan, is in corrupt cahoots with the local government to pass health inspections he should NOT be passing.

Nah, Canadians can read.....

Not supposed to be. IS. Is the best.

Massholes??

I'm nice and from RI but live in Massachusetts!🤣🤣🤣A Massachusetts joke

The best part of Woonsocket is the town line, because it means you’re only a step away from not being in Woonsocket.

I bought and shopped for SNES games there, they were competitive to Lechmere and other electronics retailers of that time.

I remember beating Star Fox for the first time on the Super NES demo system

I worked at the Walpole Bradlees part-time for 8 years. LOTS of crazy memories made there...

Thank you!!! Really appreciate that.

One thing that fascinates me about Woonsocket is that there were some major floods in the middle of the 20th century, and after that the Army Corps of Engineers rebuilt the entire Blackstone River through downtown to prevent future floods. So if you walk by the river now, it’s all levees and riprap, like you might find along the Mississippi.

One way to see that is on a section of bike path that starts in Cold Spring Park and heads north along the river past some old mills, up to the state line. Massachusetts is planning on building a connecting path on an old railroad viaduct, which will connect to the existing path that goes from Blackstone to Millville.

And that Blackstone-to-Millville section is a nice walk in itself – about halfway in you cross the Triad Bridge, with the river and the Providence & Worcester Railroad beneath you. Piers are visible for a third bridge, never finished, that would have taken the Southern New England Railway from Palmer, MA to Providence. The owner went down with the Titanic, which may or may not be the reason it was never finished.

Further up that same bike path, off to the right, is Millville Lock, one of the best preserved locks of the Blackstone Canal. And the Blackstone Gorge is accessible nearby, which I haven’t been to, but I’ve heard is a fairly dramatic water feature relative to one’s expectations about Rhode Island’s geography and natural beauty.

The Stadium Theater in the center of town has some fun and affordable productions sometimes. I saw a great rendition of La Cage aux Folles there as well as A Christmas Carol.

Everyone gets down on Woonsocket, and I get it — it doesn’t have a lot of money and has higher than average crime rates. That being said, I’ve lived here for a year, and every person I’ve met has been kind to me. I’ve had no issues with crime and have had some great experiences here (including the variety of events, like Autumnfest, which I highly recommend). I grew up in a pretty economically depressed area, so I’m biased, but people tend to blow some things way out of proportion.

If they died, it would have made the news you're searching for.

I would recommend visiting any other place in Rhode island. 🤣🤣 That's like going to California to visit the slums. The moment you enter that town, it's reeks of sewage, i also watched a guy pull a gun on another dude over money.

If the person/ppl in the car made it out in time and if they’re ok. Also what caused it bc it did y seem like an accident bc there was only 1 car

Urban Fellow Barber Shop

With all the potholes and dips in the right lane? Nah go around me.

I only remember the one in north attleboro.

Ye Olde and New York Lunch. Maybe Chan’s if you’re into egg rolls and jazz.

Seconding the work and culture museum. It’s an absolute awesome look into the history of not only the city but the area and it’s history of mills as a whole.

My recent fun new experiences on the RI roadways are always-high-beamers and people using the suction cup phone clips not to have a gps but to watch tv/youtube/twitch/videos (as in this was not one guy I saw)

I would go to bradlees just to play the video game console demos

Yup remember this when it opened. They were suppose to be competing with then Ames.

The store opened in March and was closed in August of the same year

I highly recommend checking out upcoming RI artist Mo Bangaz! He is having his homecoming show in Providence on Saturday 2/25 at AS220. The show will have a bar, DJs, supporting acts, exclusive merch and more! MO BANGAZ LIVE
