I know you said 30 minutes and these places may be just over that for you, but if you consider south county

Except this is the case across the board in the NCAA (with the exception of home games for say South Carolina or whomever is the #1 wbb team), not specific to PC. It's never about rank, it's about thinking that women's games aren't worth it. examples.... in any case, it's a cheaper ticket, you'll be closer to the action and it's more of a team sport instead of hot shots trying to get to the NBA before graduation. If your daughter wants to learn more about how a team plays, go to a women's game (NCAA or WNBA). URI women are also really fun to watch this season.

Join SFAC or another adult sports league - they're great to try a sport you don't know, play something you do, and you can pick your level of competitiveness.

Ignoring the difference in preferences for the sport overall, it's not exactly unfair to point out that the PC Men's basketball program is good and the women's one has basically been a sub .500 team for 30 years.

You can pretend all you want, but alas, its the AMP. Unfortunately Dunkin' Donuts didn't want to open up their checkbook to renew their naming rights. And it hasn't been the civic center for one 20 years. It's time to move on.

Lack of demand. Women's sports aren't as popular in general and they're just not some pedigree team with a history of winning.

Online and phone obsession has made in-person venues way less worthwhile also
But don't give up - -
When I see someone focused on their phone I ask them:
"You tryng to call me?"
Try iit

They’ve been there 39 years. I was just there a few months ago, not much has changed in that neighborhood. Glad to hear you love it!

I like Maria’s Cucina on Broadway in PVD when we want Italian. It’s in a beautiful old building that used to be the Italian-American Club back in the day. Nice old school ambiance, and the food is great. After that, we also like Massimo’s, also on Broadway. Similar vibe. Great food in a great space. The atmosphere, food, and drinks at CAV are great. They do a kind of eclectic American menu, and the decor is awesome. The A in CAV stands for Antiques.

Just bought a house off Warwick Ave and Airport Road just over a month ago, most of the windows on the houses in the area around the airport are pretty thick, so I don't hear much other than what it would sound like if a car drove by. I thought it would be a concern as well, but it's hardly a problem for me, I don't even hear them at night if there are any.

I live on sandy ln. When I first moved here I noticed the airport noise all the time. Now, I gotta be really paying attention to hear them except for early morning.

not necessarily, there’s still a number of houses in that area that people still live in.

“If you plan on having children it’s not ideal”. Was under the impression. Meant glasses and poisons made you infertile or impotent. which obviously was not the case. For anyone in Warwick that I know.

I used to live on Lakeshore Drive, at the dead end that abutted the gate to the East runway, where the planes landed or turned to take off, approximately 500ft from the runway. Jets landing and taking off about 5am-11pm. It sucks, but like a lot of other things, you get used to it.
Noise pollution: We moved into the house, which brand new. When planes got ready to take off, our whole house would shake, windows rattling and everything, which is how we discovered our house was built without any (or extra? Idk, I was a kid) sound proofing.
Water pollution: Runoff from the runway. I used to explore the wetlands adjacent along Buckeye Brook, which were behind my house, and the water always had orangey layers of oil, fuel, etc. in the pooled areas.
Air pollution: Jet fuel is chock full of neurotoxic and carcinogenic substances. This is anecdotal and I understand that correlation doesn't equal causation but: my mom and her siblings grew up on the other side of the airport, near Post Road. My mom, at least two of her sisters, and her mom all had cancer. My mom also told me that a lot of kids she played with had cancer as adults.
TL;DR: Live as far from the airport as possible for the health of you and your family.
