Seven Arrows Farm, tearoom, shop and plant nursery.

I am quite familiar. If it's a list for single people they are probably looking for other single people not people who are already partnered but allowed to see other people. Poly people in relationships are not single. You don't seem to understand this so this conversation is over. Single people are tired of having to filter through poly people.

I lived in Halstead Providence (formally The Promenade) for a few years and really enjoyed it. It's an old factory converted into modern lofts with great amenities; right next to the mall and downtown, rooftop terrace, fitness center and pool, connected parking garage, small park area with grills, community garden beds, and a fenced area for dogs to run around. There is also free guest parking which was a huge plus for me since I had someone visiting from out of town most weekends. You can't park on the street overnight in providence without a city parking permit (which only residents can get), so anyone from a different city has to either test their luck with the parking police, or try to find a public garage which gets very expensive.

The location isn't SUPER exciting since it isn't in the middle of downtown, but it's right next to everything and definitely walkable. There is a large overpass next to the mall that you have to walk under, but even as a small 5'4" woman, I never felt unsafe walking downtown alone.

The layouts/interiors can vary a lot (exposed brick, high ceilings, lofted bedrooms, etc.) depending on which building/unit you're in. When I signed my lease in 2018, I was paying ~1850 a month + pet fee, for one of the largest one bedrooms in a great location (next to garage ramp, elevators, laundry room). When I left in 2021 it was $2010, but that was for a month to month lease and would have been less for a normal 12 month lease. I know rent has increased since then so it's possible the only current option under 1800 would be a studio. If you bumped it up a bit that would definitely give you more options. There is also an additional pet fee and a limit of 2 pets, but it didn't seem like there were any size/weight restrictions for dogs.

Someone else commented about competing with med students/residents for spots, and that definitely is true. I signed my lease at the end of April and there were only a few units available for a summer move-in. At the time, there were shorter lease options available including month to month, so there's a chance that some spots will not be listed as available until early fall when you'll be looking.

Overall, I loved my time in PVD and really enjoyed my apartment. Good luck hunting!

See if there are any churches available with rental space. I know a few private practicing therapists that utilize those spaces

I'm going to send you a link of a post I saw advertising small spaces.

Absolutely true, I live near Charles and the neighborhood I'm in is very quiet and maintained, but go just a few blocks east or west and the feel changes drastically.

Give them shiny stuff like aluminum foil

The squirrels are so cute abd fat and delicious..

And lining up makes that... Better? What's the issue lol

I bartended there for years and recently went to my first show there since Covid. Such a sad husk of its former self.

This has got to be the weirdest "kids these days" post I have ever seen. 🤣

Holy fuck that’s brutal

Nexstar owns channel 12, and they’re pulling live streaming of local news:

Ironically, Krusty’s show airs on channel 6 in the Simpsons universe.

Every industry is short staffed, if they didn’t have many staff behind the bar then a single line would be better than having a dozen people around the bar.

I agree. It feels more “fair” to line up but I’ve always found that people take their time moving out of the front of the line once served. They’re signing the credit card receipt, putting their wallet away, etc. No line means the bartender can just move on to the next customer without waiting for them to move.

Can mods sticky this pls.

Yeah no, harass someone at a restaurant in Federal Hill. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that very specific scenario.

Watch channel 12.

Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I just have that "fuck this guy in particular" look to me that gets me ignored

Back when they had the Taqueria Pacifica counter? Absolutely excellent.

There have been shootings all three weekends since the New Year.

Important thing to point out based on your desires.

Compared to places in the South like Austin, "newer" doesn't really exist in Providence. I can think of maybe at the most 20 buildings/complexes within the city limits finished in the past ten years off the top of my head. There might be more newer (less than 30 years old) builds in suburbs like Cranston, Warwick or North Providence.

Most housing in Providence city limits is two-three bedroom apartment in hundred-year old triple deckers (wooden tenement buildings). I am not kidding about this. When I think back on where I lived and most of my friends lived when I lived in Providence I can think of maybe four people whose place didn't match that description, and only one was in a new building.

One of the reasons Providence is always so high in national rent rankings is that there aren't many one bedrooms compared to most other cities in the US, and those rankings are usually between one bedrooms. If you compare two bedrooms, Providence goes down a bit (though it's still not cheap).

If you really want squirrel friends and are willing to travel, the ones in Boston common are very friendly. Bring some peanuts, they’ll come right up to ya.
