They won’t build a Costco here because they can’t sell alcohol. I personally think it’s a stupid law. Even places like Utah and North Carolina sell alcohol in grocery stores.

Typical Rhode Island. Nothing gets built unless you know a guy. Therefore nothing gets built, and people wonder why there’s housing crisis.

Bees are a major pollinator of Sunflowers, therefore, growing sunflowers goes hand in hand with installing and managing bee hives. Particularly in agricultural areas where sunflowers are crops. In fact, bee honey from these areas is commonly known as sunflower honey due to its sunflower taste.

New here? Just wondering because you are describing the 20 years of WBRU summer concert series here (but at the water basin downtown)-- free concerts every/every other weekend.
The short answer is it's expensive and Brown defunded the station. But yeah it WAS awesome and one of the things I miss most about pre covid providence days.The music scene here went from pretty solid to very meh when that happened and sadly, I don't see a revival taking its place.

I was just thinking of 38 Studios. I would be willing to bet that a lot of people are new to the area and are totally unfamiliar with that debacle and the years of mess that followed.
It sort of reminds me of every thread on snow days being an overreaction when new residents don't realize kids got stranded on buses in 2007 due to a bad call.

Surely it must be somebody's job to vet a developer's ability to pay for their proposal....right?
Or it should be somebody's job anyway.
And whenever someone reassures with "Trust me"...👌

If giving out-of-state millionaires tens of millions of dollars in public subsidies for non-viable projects is your definition of “progress”, you must be a big fan of Curt Schilling and the 38 studios deal, and still mad at the “dinosaurs” who resisted it.

That’s fine… being from NJ, I’ve seen it. I have also seen A lot of America… Rhode Island is very nice. my family went for good schools and to be closer to our aging parents while having a career.
Yet, that’s their problem. I’m not going to apologize for moving into the space that needed it.
We are excited about it! just the minority of those individuals wouldn’t say anything to my face.it really doesn’t matter.

Far more common for people to move out than in, I think. Some people are probably bitter they’re can’t.

Construction is underway behind what used to be the Davol/Citizens Bank building on Sockanosset. I haven’t heard any news lately about an opening date.
