Coventry's middle school is a disaster. If you can afford EWG buy there; you won't regret it. I've had grandchildren in both systems and there's no comparison.

If this passes I’ll recycle full time at a 10cent return for each can.

Why do so many left wing extremists hide their true colors when speaking in public? We knew who she is and what she stands for. We didn't want her that's why she finished third. Sorry Jessica, no participation prize for you.

Are you looking for elementary schools or junior/ senior high school? Can only speak to elementary but my kids love their school and they have an excellent school/ teachers.

A few weeks ago we got dinner at Luke’s. While I enjoyed the New England Chinese food fix, beyond the nostalgia, the food wasn’t really good. I felt kinda terrible the next day.

I don’t live in Coventry but I know there’s some weirdness with the town government not wanting to fund the schools very much. Maybe someone who knows more can fill you in. Like one year recently they laid off all the teachers and made them reapply, that sort of thing.

Basically street park. If you don't mind walking a bit and chancing the occasional ticket, there's some good areas around Roger Wheeler, especially if you are showing up at 6 am.

I’d imagine if you went early to Gansett town beach you wouldn’t have much trouble finding free parking available on the street. Lots of parking along the sea wall and a few streets right next to the beach. I live there and I don’t have much trouble finding a spot past five pm, so I think it should be similar at around 8 am. The sea wall parking definitely couldn’t be all filled, except on maybe the busiest of days in July

When we moved a couple years ago we moved to West Greenwich for the school system. We actually looked at some comparable houses in Coventry, but at the time, the real estate + fire tax would have been like, 4-5K more a year than the house we ended up in WG. West Greenwich has a homestead tax discount, and I believe it's a 30% discount or something.
As far as Coventry goes, I have friends and family that went through the school system and haven't heard anything really negative.

The group protesting this are a bunch of absolute right-wing clowns. I saw a clip from the protest that said "Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism".

So people that are against Netanyahu and his dictatorship are anti-semitic? LOL.

Oh that’s good to know ! Thanks I’ll check them out !

Not that this means much, and idk what it compares to in other towns, but the schools here get about 70% of the towns budget. I would also recommend doing some research on how the town runs things, there's usually chaos every year with the budget, lots of interim managers and other rotations, there is a fire tax that you pay separate from regular town taxes because of the fire district setup, etc.

I don't have any kids so can't speak to specifics, but I do have many friends who went through the Coventry school system and now their children do as well. Of course, ymmv.

Yea I would have been thrown off a bit as well. I hate when retailers push manufacturers on you. That's why I'm not a fan of D&L in Warwick. I went looking for a handgun and specifically said I didn't want a Glock, and they were trying so hard to convince me. Like I get it, you get more money selling these, but I don't want that one lol.

I inquired about a firearm there once amd they kept trying to push a manufacturer on me that I didn't want, and claimed I didn't know what I actually wanted. If I wanted a Kimber I would have said that man

Been a few times and I liked it. Brought a couple of friends that weren't familiar with shooting and they were very helpful with training and having them take a written test.

I do like Elite in South Kingston the best though.

You liked midstate? I went once and wasn't a fan

Gorgeous mural! It’s kind funny though to see all this historic architecture featured when the heart of the town is basically just a bunch of ugly mid century strip malls/condos/parking lots.

If you're unable to attend, it's better to write or call your local representative to ask their stance on the situation and let them know you support the elimination of nips (or whatever your cause is).

how about y’all out this energy towards the shit ass highway 195s going through ep and prov 😭

Additional coverage from Robert Isenbeg of Jewish Rhode Island: ‘Bad Jews’: The play behind the title

Additional note: The group that is protesting is the Rhode Island Coalition for Israel.

What a convoluted way to not solve this problem. paying 0.05 for each bottle back isn't gonna incentivize people to return them. the people who litter these don't give 2 fucks about the environment or the ppl around them. only desperate people on the streets will pick them up and misuse whatever they make from it.

They should be banned.

Where are the NPD speed traps?

Right before he's killed by a cannonball..

Parks & Rec Murals

That's roughly what we're expecting. It's hard to go by the actual reviews because a bunch of them are disgruntled kids. I personally loved my high school, but there were times where I would have gone off in a review if it was common back then lol
