Ooh, behind a paywall.

Maybe this is the post where r/rhodeisland can discuss free speech?

As of 1 Jan all new registrations, replacements for lost or damaged plates, and registration renewals will result in you receiving the new plate design. u/medicmechanist38 has also replied to my comment saying that the renewal plates already have the stickers attached to them.

The DMV doesn't want old plates turned in. I've had my plates since 1997 and there's actually some sentimental value, so I'm glad I can hold onto them.

Colorado had an auction with cannabis themed plates

This should be good.

Check out Rhode Island Monthly’s website. I get the magazine and check the website often. There’s a lot of random things like festivals and markets that I found out about through them. A lot if it is geared toward warmer weather, but there’s some good stuff on there.

I don't have Instagram, but I'll ask my wife to follow some. Thanks!

DETAILS FROM THE STORY: A federally-funded two-year initiative is expected to launch next week to help combat misinformation in Rhode Island and help minimize online violence and extremism.
The new program, dubbed Courageous RI, was designed by the University of Rhode Island’s Media Education Lab, and was funded through a $700,000 grant from the US Department of Homeland Security. The initiative, which will be rolled out in three phases, has been tasked with fostering community conversations, providing training and education, and engaging youth. The trainings look to help participants across sectors become “more resilient to propaganda and disinformation.”
The initiative will formally launch at an in-person event at 3 p.m. on Tuesday at the Rhode Island State House, kicking off a series of free virtual sessions that are open to the public. Officials including Rhode Island Secretary of State Gregg Amore, Republican State Representative Brian Newberry, and Democrat State Senator Hanna Gallo are expected to offer remarks.

Check out the "Discover"-type Instagram accounts for places like Newport, Warren, Providence, South County, (wherever) - they usually curate a nice set of events or cool things to know about, etc.

Those ridiculously good street food/wrap things the Pita Pocket vendor makes are worth heading out to the Mount Hope market alone! 🤤

(Can anyone tell me what they are called?! I am embarrassed I don't know, and also more people need to know so they can order them!)

A way to fight this is to highlight good landlords so that they may set the example for the slumlords of the state. Hold up those that protect and nurture the community instead of sucking it dry for profit.

Yeah I usually go through FB events or eventbrite. It's probably just bc it's winter but definitely seems there are fewer things to do.

I'm currently attempting to get out of bed to go to a farmers market. Farm Fresh is my go-to Saturday market but Mount Hope is also enjoyable.

Instagram is my usual source for events (I follow local musicians, market planners, and pop ups). Google is easy too.

Some folks also use FB events and EventBrite.

They sent me the new ones when I renewed my registration. It came with the sticker on them so I can’t continue to use the old ones. So eventually it will catch up to everyone.

Welp, people need to get on that to counter such measures.

100% what it is I made a request for “four20” and it got shut down

Think of the people you went to high school with. How many of them paid attention in geography? How many were there only because they had to be? How many spouted the "I'll never use this info after I graduate" line? And Rhode Island isn't exactly a headline grabbing place either so it's below the radar for lots of folks. It's not a freak show like Florida or a shootout a month like Texas.

Cadillac Lounge is really fun for Sunday breakfast! Top notch entertainment, cheap!!!

Uploaded the images

As far as I know they only redesigned the generic plates. But I will do my best to keep my green wave plate and not switch to the new style. If they have a new green wave I'll be all about it.

I like my green wave and don't want to give it up.

Electronic enforcement is only effective until the next piece of technology is created to scam it. I wish they spent more time supporting DUI efforts of local departments and on 295.

Wanna hear why they stopped issue plates ? AHAHAHAH I made a request for a plate named “four20” and the next day the processing server was down for good. I have proof and will upload it. Sorry guys.

The post I replied to was that they didn’t know RI existed. I don’t expect people to know where everything is but to not know RI is a state is crazy to me.

Depends on what you mean by familiar. A lot of people place it in New England but don't know where New England begins. Does it include Connecticut? Long Island? You have to remember that some people are map illiterate.

Massachusetts has to be more fun than Connecticut though.
