Reply to comment by mkmck in David Cicilline to resign from Congress to lead Rhode Island Foundation by rhodyjourno
I’m not sure the specifics. I was really surprised to find out - I only found out because there were so many people jumping into the CD2 race that didn’t even live in the district. I know for local offices living in the district or ward is absolutely a requirement.

I'd be more worried about cancer clusters and that type of thing

Bocado in Worcester was just named the most romantic restaurant in Mass. A smidge farther than 30 minutes but worth it

Ummm, airplane tech has advanced by leaps and bounds. Most of the planes that fly into Greene are relatively new and way quieter than anything people experienced a decade ago. Best bet is to go sit in your car over there and listen.

Reply to comment by daymanahhhahhhhhh in Officer acquitted in off-duty shooting gets $123K in back pay by EmilyXoXo26
When I listened to a trial of a retired officer in Florida that shot a man in the movie theater and was acquitted with "stand your ground" laws, the officer/defendant took the stand and he spoke with an authority of a police officer on duty. I feel like he duped the jurors into thinking he was some kind of expert because he kept using cop lingo and they got lulled into some kind of "well he must know more about this stuff than I do" instead of looking at all the evidence. I think that's probably what happened here. But we also need to start jailing these psychopaths in blue that have a badge as a shield.

Red Stripe feels a bit more casual to me than Hemingways. Hemingways is also a lot more expensive imo.

I grew up on Fairfax drive and the fight path was right over the house. Shook the windows constantly.

That’s how I feel about train noise. I grew up about half a mile from the tracks and Kingston Station, close enough that it would rattle the light fixtures in our house, and I find the sound of trains in the distance soothing.

I live off West Shore Rd about 2 miles southeast of the airport. I rarely hear a thing. Maybe the occasional plane at night but it’s not any louder than a car from here.

You get used to it.
I live extremely close by, to the point where after a minute of walking I can see fences that are for the boundaries of the airport. It doesn't feel 'loud' to me personally

That runway gets used more in the summer when the prevailing winds switch from the north to the south. Look at an aerial view of the airport and extend the runways out 2-3 miles and you’ll get a direct view of the flight paths.

I didn't live super close to the airport, but I did take piano lessons from someone who lived in the neighborhood that recently got bought up by the airport. If you're *that* close, then the noise of the planes taking off and landing was certainly enough to interrupt my piano lessons. It wouldn't be my first choice for an area to live in around Warwick.

Aviation fan here! Tf green often doesn’t have large planes land ( biggest is usually a a321 or a 757) and the frequency is usually a few fights per hour other then maybe like 4 or 5 pm where it’s one every10 mins. It’s really not terrible, if you were to live near Logan that gets huge planes and has a landing every minute or so that would be annoying.

I love Armando! I’ve had really simple meals there that were amazing. One time I had chicken soup that was legit the best soup I’ve ever had. Another time, eggplant parmesan, and I don’t even like eggplant! It’s just that good at Bacco.
