No freakin way

I’m from Providence but live in Fort Lauderdale now, anyone know if the Providence TJs will be allowed to sell beer and wine?

Exactly. I lived in that neighborhood for over 10 years and it really needed a decent full service grocery store. Eagle Market, was great, but didn’t have a wide selection.

Sorry…have you ever been to East Side Market? I’ve gone so many times in a pinch and a small tub of cream cheese is like $4.50. It’s so so far from cheap and honestly more expensive that Whole Foods in some departments.

That’s not true at all. I understand it’s easy to say but there’s so many full residents who live on the east side who would love this. Also whose working in Boston but from CT and passing through Prov for Whole Foods?? Such a weird comment.

Whether or not you want to argue yuppie politics… The east side needs an affordable grocery store. There’s plenty of people that aren’t high income earners (myself included) and groceries are tough unless you want to make a whole drive out of it. Trader Joe’s really is affordable and walking distance to many!

The user you are replying to didn't say that; another user did.

It is less expensive than WF and probably Trader Joe's. My point is that Traders Joe's is not coming to save the day for people who can walk to East Side Market.

ESM is not cheap

Ye Eastside Marketplace will never have the $1.99 chicken from Trader Joes

Thank you! I really appreciate it

Ask Joe

Thank you!

This is cool! Good work!

I am not. I don’t like moving canvas. Haha.

Thank you!

Early November

Are you a tattoo artist? This is mind-blowing!

Yuppie MFs go to Whole Foods and Eastside Marketplace... I think those of us that dont make millions will benefit from a Trader Joes...

…the whole point of the interstate highway system is to connect the capitals and major commerce centers of all the states. A highway that doesn’t go through the middle of the city would be a pretty shitty highway. Could you imagine if it just dipped into Olneyville and everyone wanting to get downtown or through the east side had to finish through backroads? Then multiply that by every commerce center in every state in the country.

Though I do kind of wish that the “norm” was a park and ride in an outskirts of the city paired with an efficient, effective, safe and family-friendly public transit. Unfortunately RIPTA is none of the above.

Thank you!
