Oh that’s cool. Do you know if I’m allowed to just walk in there to take a look?

The State House has one of the four largest, self-supported marble domes in the world.

The largest is St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the second largest is the Minnesota State Capitol and the third largest is the Taj Mahal in India. On the inside of the dome, there is a wonderful painting, "The Four Freedoms" by Rhode Island artist James Allen King.

I always heard US capitol and Vatican were larger, didn't know about Minnesota....still can't say I've gone looked any of this up though

From Wiki: The dome is "the fourth largest self-supported marble dome in the world"

Could’ve sworn it was second, but maybe that’s in the US. I think the Minnesota state house has a larger self-supported dome IIRC

Happy Monday.

I don't even know where my vax card is anymore, and it hasn't mattered for some time now.

Ikr? Another newcomer to RI mentioned recently on this or the RI sub that they were shocked to discover the dearth of in-unit washer/ dryers here.

And reading here, I've learned how much harder it's become to find an apt that allows dogs, even small ones.

When I first moved here from MA years ago I was pleasantly surprised by how much easier it was here to rent with a dog than MA had been.

No more.

Why should a landlord allow pets when the market's this insanely tight that they have their pick of tenants? 😣

OP needs to be prepared. Even if there were apartments for rent on every corner, $1400-1800 gets you a barely livable space.

Last stat on it I've seen is that for the state, we're at 2% available housing? Anyone know if that's still the case?

OP, just so you are prepared: it's never been this hard to find housing in RI.

As some others said, that is asking a lot for the price in the Providence area. You might not be able to check all those boxes without exceeding your price range.

I am moving out of my apartment (bought a house), and this apartment is $1,800. Just to give you an idea: It is 3 floors if you count the loft area, 2 full bedrooms and 1 room that is more like an office. In unit laundry but no dishwasher and does not include utilities. Is about 5 min outside of PVD and is dog friendly.

Check out Zillow and other listing sites. You may need to increase your budget by about $200-$400 to find anything like what you're looking for around Providence

Check Warwick/Cranston.

You will definitely find something on apartment.com

EDIT: You will find something between $1400-1800.

You will mostly likely not find a 2 bed with in-unit laundry and dishwasher with that budget. Probably not even a one bed. Rents are extremely high in Providence right now and what’s available is really limited.

I suggest you check out Zillow I found an affordable apartment on there.

Sounds like maybe village lofts in Pawtucket might be up your alley?

No, dude. Gross.

It's never gonna happen. It's just a masturbatory fantasy. It doesn't fit this city and we don't have the populace for it.

Notes in zip-lock bags hand placed on a couple corners?? This is a mentally ill person. I mean beyond the fact that you basically have to be a low IQ ding dong to be a white supremacist in the first place, this plan is just very ineffective and weird!

Catazaro's (?) in Cranston (last year) was fantastic! (Don't know if that's near you...We were just driving thru) good luck

That's interesting, only places that have it around here are chains, papa John's, little Caesars and pizza hut. I can't recall ever seeing it in a mom and pop place.

Recipes can't be patented or copyrighted. That's why places like KFC and coke make sure they keep their recipes secret. Lots of other places have stuff crust like little Caesars and papjohns and supermarket brands like digornio.

A calzone is closest

You state your lease says " NO PETS" and you have a neighbor downstairs. Hypothetically, lets say you break your clause and the neighbor complains. Do you think they will want to renew your lease or get another person w/o pets. If I was a landlord I wouldn't and take the next person. Its as simple as that.

I've seen many post on regarding pets and places that will take them. I know a cat isn't a big deal but dogs is another thing regarding noise and potential to bite regardless of how well trained they are. Have you considered others in the building.

I know this isn't easy but if there are landlords out there that have entire units for people w and w/o pets this would eliminate these type of issues.

Damn dude. Fwiw, it sounds like youre doing the best job possible. I'm embarrassed to admit that if I were in your situation Im not positive I'd be strong as you, i could cave-in just like your wife. I feel for you though, wife and I have a 2 month old but you're right that I can't truly understand how rough it's been for you and your wife. But in my world my wife and me's teamwork has been pivotal. Your son will always have autism but you could work on the teamwork in your marriage. Easier said than done, I know, but at least, cut yourself some slack. You're doing a bangup job, better than most people could.

A lot of no pets places tend to be more flexible around cats-- at least small landlords. No harm in asking.

RI has a very rich - Real Italian Pizza set of rules - -

But there are still lots of wonderful varieties to try ..

and we have Calamari too
