You definitely just made it weird.

Sir, this is a Wendy's

Just..uh..look around and make friends? 🤷‍♂️

Funny you mention that, because most of the long time management left a little over a month ago because of what corporate was doing. So there are probably new store managers at this point but all the problems are coming from corporate. You know how everyone is saying the miss when it was summit? Well all the people who made summit good have basically been driven out by RISE corporate.

Seems kinda weird even though you said you didn’t want to make it weird

Maybe if the management is different? Or is it just gonna be moving the staff as well?

Doritos and m&m cookies for me

Thank you! I'm new to reddit so wasn't familiar with that group until now.

I was hoping someone posted this. 😃

> NRBQ

I'd have to agree with that!

The only show I saw there was NRBQ, mid-80s I think. I remember them playing what felt like a 20-minute version of “In the Mood,” which I could have done without.

I don't see how. It's literally gonna be all the same stuff, just moved to a new location. The only thing that will be better is the parking situation.

The BSC closed during covid, sadly.

I worked there when it was still Summit and they said the same thing for months lol. This is like 2 years ago.

That’s a great suggestion! Thank you for sharing. I do have plans to interview RI historians for the podcast as well. Once season 1 is fully released (covers RI from the founding to King Philip’s War) I plan on taking a step back and thinking about what’d I’d like to do differently or add to the podcast.

So much that I want to do but so little time in the day haha!

Red Hot Chili Peppers with Pearl Jam opening. Palladium. Probably 1990

This hysteria has been happening since the Blizzard of 1978. The TV stations stoke the hysteria because it boosts their ratings which translates to more eyes on their content which means more market share which means more earnings.

Totally unnecessary fear mongering. But you'll never see them being honest if it means they might lose viewers.

You ever try to get Scott Malloy on the podcast? He taught RI history at uri, was the union president for RIPTA, and had written books on the Sprague murder, Joseph Bennigan's history, and others.

Great, down to earth, blue collar RI lover that loves to talk. I'm sure he'd relish the opportunity to be a guest

Same here. Went for a walk and saw the owl out on a rocky promontory, very dramatic, and about twenty people with the largest telephoto lenses I've ever seen at various sites along the shore to capture it. It looked like a presidential press op. My little phone camera zoom was only able to turn the owl into a slightly larger white blob.

>”Fane always balked when he was asked about financing the project, mostly offering some version of ‘trust me’ when he talked to people like me. I admit that I fell for it. There were plenty of people in the development world in my ear who were raising legitimate questions about the viability of the tower, but I wrote them off as worried about competition from the eccentric outsider. > >It’s not necessarily the City Council’s job to vet a developer’s ability to pay for their proposal, but [former City Council president David] Salvatore said he was especially concerned because ‘there were tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on the line’ — in the form of subsidies – if the project got started but couldn’t be completed.”

The cheerleading BEANs never care about this sort of thing, which is why they should be ignored when they mindlessly tout any and every project whether it’s viable or not …

bummer

If I only knew this years ago 🤣🤣🤣

They have antibiotics for that now …

I remember catching Weird Al in the early 90s there.
