I guess my frustration is that many people (not you) automatically assume Logan is better because it is larger and do not even consider that PVD might actually be better in many cases...even for international travel and sometimes even point to point...use it or lose it as they say..and I want PVD to thrive.

So long as the house you're wanting to buy isn't a shitheap, and you've got enough money to stomach the high interest rates until they crash and you can refinance, there's no reason not to buy property. If you're able to sell and buy in the same market, like we did last year, your high price sale offsets the high price purchase, and you're (hopefully) in a nicer house than when you started.

Flights from PVD to EWR and LGA get delayed contstantly. I would avoid connecting through them if I could.

Village Haven is much better than Wrights. You aren’t herded in and out like cattle and you actually get to enjoy your meal without being rushed.

Well yeah, of course less driving and cheaper parking with the same number of layovers is preferable.

It didn’t burn down. They ended up having water damage from a leaky roof. The owners also owned Bocce Club, so they just closed Vermettes and sold the land. There is a Dunkin’ there now.

Absolutely allow people to celebrate that there hasn’t been a mass shooting in their state. Come on.
Edit; yes it’s likely more about statistics due to our low population, but still, go us even if it’s a spurious statistic

It was really pleasant. I went almost a year ago and still remember my server's name, Nick. He was wonderful, friendly and cute😅

RIAC gives airlines free rent for 6 months. After that, the airline can decide whether to stay and pay sky high rent at T.F. Green, or go elsewhere. That’s why a lot of these airlines don’t stick around. The rent is way too high and not worth it.

With the length of runway 5-23 being at 8700' it's comparable to the 4/22's at Logan (4L/22R = 7864' and 4R/22L = 10006').
What TF Green has,
- Easy access to the Highway,
- Cheap Parking
- Being where the Patriots fly out from

Then travel over the bridge to Portugal into Fall River and do rack up another 60k.

>It’s 7-10 hours to get to Dallas from PVD
Can support this; PVD to DTW to KAUS. 90 Min on the first leg and five hour transit time (four hours corrected for the time zone change)
Funny enough, the Boss was still not happy (rather I spend more time in the airports on connections getting a flight into Killeen instead of having to pay two guys two hours each to roundtrip to Austin)

It could be attributed to the "Hub and spoke" model.

Yet. There hasn't been a mass shooting yet.

What I communicated further below is that Boston does not have as strong an international network as other east coast airports. So...you end up having a stop even when flying out of Boston in many instances. So I would rather have a one stop in Newark or Dulles out of PVD than a commute to Boston and a stop somewhere else.

Village Haven hands down. Just a more pleasant experience overall. Vermette's in Woonsocket used to be good too, but I'm pretty sure they burned down like a decade ago.

I don't think it's a matter of "being out of breath", but more self-centered ness. I had relatives who used to smoke but they did either empty in a trash can or wait till they got home to empty in their trash.

Impressive, very nice - now let's see the infographic on mob hits.

306 mass shootings is less than 1 per million people. RI not having one is likely just due to statistics unfortunately. Gun violence is a plague that impacts the entirety of the country, even if there are none in RI.

I actually would argue Boston has a pretty darn good international network for the east coast. Not like jfk obviously, but pretty good. Avianca just restarted flights to bogota from Boston yesterday, as a example .
