I can second this! I’ve gotten some great plants through Facebook marketplace.

Thanks for this. Yeah, I figured this would be the case but wanted to check in to be sure. I grew up in western mass so I've spent a little time in PVD but not enough to get an understanding of the neighborhoods. Very helpful!

Thanks for being honest. How's your overall experience been so far... Are you happy with the move there coming from CA?

Yeah, that sounds like what we're looking for. Thanks

I don't know if they recently changed their recipe or something, but I went recently after having not gone for a while and I thought it was much better than I remembered.

Join the facebook buy nothing group in your area. I see plant and cuttings being given away there.

I’m sorry but if she’s specifically wanting Mexican families then she will be in for a culture shock. Don’t get me wrong there are Mexicans here but it’s not like how it is in California or other border states. The majority of Hispanic people here are Dominican and Puerto Rican, also Guatemalans.

All that being said South providence or around chalkstone Ave might be staring points for you. But either way be in for some major culture shock either way. We are on opposite sides of the country. I don’t say this in any mean way of course but you need to manage your expectations.

For reference I’m Hispanic (Dominican and Costa Rican) and those are some spots I lived in. Chalkstone (or parts of it) I think might be nice than the south side.

You can take the commuter rail for like $12

Dang bruh you finna get lifted like Buddha?

Good for you. And whether you have LEGAL tags or not, I'm sure YOU don't want strangers going into your yard (including while you are home) without your prior knowledge, without knocking, on your door and IDENTIFYING themsselves. That's how people end up getting accidentally shot BRUH.

Honestly between the Commuter Rail and Amtrak (Northeast Corridor and Acella trains), unless we have 3 feet of snow you should be alright. Especially heading towards Boston on the Commuter Rail.

The Latino neighborhoods and demographics have been pretty well covered already so I’ll just say that Chilangos is a fantastic Mexican restaurant owned by Mexican Americans and definitely worth checking out

There's a local houseplant exchange group on The Face Book. I joined it, but haven't participated yet. They allow for selling, as well as giving away for free.

Also, look into a local Buy Nothing group. I have participated in mine, both giving away and receiving. It's a a very positive worldwide movement!

I joined my group on Facebook. Look yours up here:

Briggs is great and honestly Peckham's is an experience with so many nooks and crannies! The few plants I have gotten from JJ's have either been terribly cared for or full of pests so I just avoid them now due to how overpriced their things are!

Yep - was gonna comment this as well. When I am going to Logan I schedule my ride ahead of time. I've seen the price vary from $64 - $180 though so it's a big range depending on the time & demand for drivers.

There's definitely some intersectional circlejerking going on, but I've personally witnessed her lean into berating one of her employees, fully in front of all the customers on a busy day at Rebelle. I haven't been back since.

She appears to have legitimate emotional regulation issues, which she compensates for by framing herself as a perpetual underdog pitted against "the haters."

Given the apparent regularity of distasteful real life, social media, and review-responding incidents, the resulting widespread dislike for her isn't all that surprising to me. Reddit loves outrage and righteous indignation.

Litter, unkept tree, dog likely pooping on the sidewalk, fence surrounding an ever empty parking lot... ah, Providence.

Her husband?

I also have rooted begonia and another cutting of inchplant that I can give you. :)

Love the pizza and decor but every time I go in there there are groups of children running around, screaming, and bumping into people/tables. Parents are hanging together and drinking and just let them run wild. Not really the restaurant's fault but it has soured the experience.

Thank you!

Sundays at the Atlantic Mill.

Someone who knows! Kudos!

Good idea! Didn’t even think of that.

Omg I went to Logee’s only once and was floored with how beautiful it was.
