Moniker Brewery has been advertising matches with a preference for ManU (guessing whoever is coordinating is a fan). The schedule and info is on their Instagram page (@monikerbrewery)

Craft Burgers and Beer right over the PVD line in Pawtucket is the home of the New England Tottenham group! Moniker brewery also just started playing games during weekend mornings, and I believe are United fans if that matters to ya.

More cars improves walkability by slowing down traffic. Also all of the added units in that development and the foot traffic from Trader Joe’s will be great for wickenden street merchants and in turn the neighborhood. No where in the city needs to “handle cars” it’s ok if there’s traffic in popular and busy areas.

No one is saying "OH MY GOD CARS! NOOOO!" it's being pointed out that it's an area that already has confusing traffic patterns for visitors. I hope this has been taken into consideration. I also hope the walkability of Wickendon street will be preserved.

I don't disagree with you about cars and wanting people to come here, not all parts of the city can handle visiting cars equally well.

Who cares if more cars come to the area? This is how it is in most other cities. Can we stop wishing that providence was a ghost town? Let’s bring lots of people here and create vibrancy. A little traffic is not a big deal. Only dead cities have no traffic. Go to any lively dynamic city and there is some traffic because people want to be there. It’s really not a big deal. Just plan accordingly for which hours you’re driving there. The entitled Rhode Island culture of thinking any traffic or that needing to park two blocks away is a problem is completely insane.

More traffic is good for me since I live in the neighborhood—it means the cars go slower on the roads. Right now south main feels like a mini-highway. South Water used to feel that way until they wisely narrowed it. Also right now: there’s barely any traffic. Just a 10 minute delay during evening rush hour. Not a big deal.

It’s just going to be… a city. Cities are busy and lively. That’s why they’re interesting. Right now it’s way too dead. Yes—there will be some traffic leaving a popular market in a dense part of a city. That’s how it is in every lively city. Looks like Providence is making progress. Stop complaining and be smart about when you choose to shop there. You’re not entitled to pull up right in front with no traffic as if you’re at a Warwick strip mall.
