Considering you won’t have to pay for any utilities at the hotel, that might be a good deal. A second job would probably be needed for saving more money though

So glad I was able to buy at the tail end of the buyers market pre pandemic. Not sure what I would do now if I had to enter the rental or home buyer market again.

Harmony on hope!

And u might need to protect yourself, the anxiety is high here.

600 a month is not bad for rent, that’s about what you would get elsewhere in providence.

well dang, TIL 😂

Not to be the sub pedant, but in a nod to our French speakers in the North (Woonsocket), it’s “prix fixe”.

DURKS New Years Eve options are for dine in, can't really get an all you can eat buffet to go. The Beef ribs can be ordered to go though.

And they are kid friendly so you can bring your kid too. But their take out is phenomenal so enjoy dinner at home with the little!

Need a six figure salary to rent too

I mean where OP is is a serious hot spot for consistent daily crime. I'd stay out of reach of the high school. The surrounding blocks there are notorious for issues. You don't need to go far for the neighborhood to get a lot better.

Other parts of the West End don't really compare. Petty crime exists anywhere in the city. But there are plenty of spots in the west end that you don't need to live in daily fear that your car windows are smashed.

The neighborhood and whole city really can vary greatly just street by street.

Massages by Mari off Putnam Pike have been great for my partner and I.

Idk if Los Andes is doing anything for prefix take-home meals for NYE but I'd recommend them any day of the week after their thanksgiving take-home meal. Preordered a few weeks in advance and took home some of the most insanely delicious prime rib (tender enough for the kiddo's pallet as well!) with probably 4 or 5 sides.

Even if they're not doing pre-fix, I'd absolutely get their take out regardless.

I live in the 'nice' part of the west end (on the park) and there's still plenty of property/petty crime to go around. Certainly it makes up for it in lots of other ways, but this person is pretty obviously looking to avoid property crime as their primary objective.

OP, I honestly would not listen to any of the advice in this whole discussion.

Get a crazy Khmer platter from Pailin. It’s fantastic, unusual, not very expensive, and really delicious. You won’t know what half of it is, and you won’t care (there’s no mystery meat or anything weird). Just call them and tell them how many people you need to feed.

Very good advice! I used to work at a Chinese restaurant packing takeout and once 5pm rolled around we’d answer the phone by saying the wait was three hours.

I don’t know. But sincerely, thanks for sticking with this inane thread and sharing the source of the inaccurate info. I’ve been following this project closely for the last couple years, so the February 2023 date made no sense to me, and this isn’t the first time I’ve seen Channel 10 bungle their facts.

Has the MBTA even started doing anything? In re-reading this shit for the world's most pointless argument, it seemed like they should've at least knocked down the old bridge by now.

Thank you for providing sources!

I think the issue is that you were misled by WJAR’s shoddy reporting. The Mass Transit magazine piece has more accurate wording:

> Early construction activity will take place intermittently at the station through February 2023.

Meaning the preliminary work was expected to be done in February. But that same article quotes the MBTA GM as saying:

> “We’re excited to see these upcoming station upgrades reach 100 percent design and look forward to acquiring the necessary construction funding to make these critical repairs and important accessibility improvements at South Attleboro so that we can return Commuter Rail service to the station”

I don't know why you're arguing about this but here's the channel 10 report from then: https://turnto10.com/news/local/south-attleboro-massachusetts-bay-transporation-authority-train-demolition-transporation-boston-rhode-island-passenger-downtown-attleboro-project-construction

Here's some random transit magazine I've never heard of saying the same thing: https://www.masstransitmag.com/technology/facilities/shelters-stations-fixtures-parking-lighting/press-release/21276544/massachusetts-bay-transportation-authority-mbta-mbta-announces-timeline-for-south-attleboro-station-accessibility-improvements-project-construction-work

I didn't just make this up, my guy.

Not bad, no worse than the rest of Prov, as long as you’re not directly on the water. I actually find it nice living there when there’s flooding because recently it’s been the highway that has problems, which I can avoid, being on the east side of it!

It’s not causing any traffic, that’s one of the reasons it’s time to let it be.

With regards to use, I hear you, but we have an issue currently with proving out these bike lanes, in that they were built in disconnected fragments. Until they connect and you can actually safely and seamlessly bike through the city it’s hard to measure impact because they aren’t that useable. Generally, in other cities, widespread connected bike infrastructure has led to a major increase in biking. There’s no reason to believe Providence (a sense, compact city) would be any different in this regard.

I think people still keep their doors unlocked in Garden City in Cranston. Very safe here.

I live in Elmhurst. It’s pretty quiet over here. You have to avoid the streets with PC students, but other than that you’re golden.

I like Riverside a lot, have you had much problems with flooding in the area?

I like Warwick a lot, but it is not very walkable?
