Honestly, you never know. They’re still prescribing Zofran to pregnant women. I personally know 3 women 2 of which whose children had a cleft lip/pallet and one of which’s children had a heart defect. If you read the studies on that up on until a few years ago, they were not yet linking Zofran to the birth defects.

The Cable Car Cinema was on South Main Street. It had couches / love seats.
I believe the OP is talking about Castle Cinema that was on Chalkstone Ave. I went there several times but I don't remember them serving food to your seat.

I have no idea. My fam Who has lived here on and off for their whole lives couldn’t even recall!! I find it so odd - other cities work when people park on the street. Why are we pretending we’re like Norwood or suburban NJ (only other places I’ve seen it).

Thanks for explaining the reasoning for allowing limited parking, but my poorly worded question was meant to ask why they restricted street parking in the first place? I’m not sure when it started, but it was already prohibited when I moved here …

Looks like you are right. I was wrong.
This supports your point of view (From NIH 2006):
> We observed an association between estimated maternal prenatal PFOA concentration and defects of the brain among live births, but the number of reported defects was small and within the range of what would be expected. In contrast to the weak indications for increased risk at the highest exposure in previous studies, we observed little evidence of an association with congenital heart defects [28, 29]. In addition, essentially no association with oral clefts was observed despite prior toxicological support from animal studies. Findings were largely null for the remaining defects.

I lived there 10 years ago. Mineral spring Avenue took 5 years off my life.

It was framed as giving people an option to on street park (which had previously been banned altogether) but then they let streets opt out on a street by street basis (except for ‘artery’ streets like Hope which you still can’t park on overnight but tbh that’s also spotty enforcement). And supposed to keep landlords from blacktopping their yards / which also didn’t stop. So the old “guest parking” for 5x a month if you called the PD and have them a heads up disappeared but basically most of The east side voted no anyway and I also don’t think the city got as many people opting in for stickers as they thought (if I remember correctly) so it also wasn’t a big Money maker for the city. They should just allow on street sticker parking across the board. This opt out If you happen to live on the street ten+ years ago when they voted was BS.

What was the supposed rationale for limiting overnight parking in the first place …?

My response was to the "they should be riding it on dirt" technically there is no dirt for them to ride on either. It's ineherently illegal for anyone to ride an ATV, what's interesting is up north and out west it's mostly white people riding them illegally and trespassing on others or state land and no one makes much of a fuss.

There was one on chalkstone Ave. Served pizza, etc. Right up after VA and Roger Williams hospital. Not sure of the name. Walked by it a few weeks back.

Yeah the rules don’t work in PVD - not enforced unless you call between 1-5am and they’ve never revisited the ⅔ majority to have no overnight parking since it was put in place? Our entire street has turned except For two houses - should there be a revisit every several years?

Then stop driving it until you fix it. Police departments have the discretion to tow the car, next time it might be a pricier than just a ticket. If you don’t show up they will default you and you just owe what you owe plus court costs…not sure if that will eventually impact your license too but that’s the risk you run
