I said something similar above and got downvoted to hell. It’s crazy how obsessed this sub is with her. Sometimes I wonder if one of the mods or just an extremely frequent user on here has some personal beef against her.

The passion that I see in these posts about her often feel too passionate to just be “local gossip”.

I mean how many other small business owners in pvd have had ACTUAL scandals? Like I know of two that’re backed by the same mlm, I know another who beat up their spouse, I know another who berates their employees and calls them actual awful shit (not just asks them to do their job correctly in a less than nice tone). The list can go on and on. But for some reason this sub is fixated on the “overly emotional” latina.

You should take your own advice. Stop being angry over someone else’s success or judging if it’s deserved or not. Go make your own success!

Huh?

Or are YOU the bagel queen?!

That’s literally not how it works haha

I think PC is over $70k now, if you can believe it

Is a court case not hard enough evidence? People working at Little Sister seem to be having a great time too, but what do I know?

Probably the bagel queen given she is pretending to be someone else in this thread and has personally commented on every negative comment..

Interesting we can do this for a white man and not a puerto rican woman…like come on. How is no one self-aware about this.

When I worked at NUWC I would frequent both. Sometimes you want Tito's. Sometimes you want Taco Bell.

I have a feeling your commenting to that very same angry person lmao

In Cranston there is a place called “Taco Solutions” 2 buildings down from a Taco Bell, and it always makes me laugh.

like the other poster said definitely try Sonia’s, all of their sandwiches are bomb. if you want to pay a pretty penny you could definitely get some nice groceries there as well (apricot jam, basturma, etc).

if you are ever on Allen’s Ave skip Sea Plane (they are trash forreal) and instead go to OV’s. OV’s is a wonderful, classic American diner but it is owned by Armenians and has a couple items on the menu.

Why are you talking about yourself in third person?

I feel like it’s all about perspective. Like if she was a personal friend, maybe we’d tell her “hey that wasn’t cool” or disagree with her, but we wouldn’t drag her and obsess over how HORRIBLE she is.

Also not to pull THAT card, but as a latino myself, while her reactions are big, it’s not anything that’s really shocking to me. Not tryina excuse any of the behavior, it’s just interesting to see people get so fixated on her when a ton of other business owners are doing actual fucked up shit.

I mean I just saw a story on ig today complaining about how she was born into wealth and handed everything when like, if you do two seconds of research you’d see she grew up pretty modestly in Puerto Rico and got into MIT, say what you will about her, but she’s definitely worked hard.

Not trying to be a fanboy or anything, but it’s just frustrating seeing how much energy is put into one of the few latina small business owners in Providence and I regularly see people saying to “separate the artist from the art” about a ton of asshole white male business owners.

Again, people can feel however they want about her. It’s just frustrating as a fellow Caribbean latino seeing how much others are cut slack after repeatedly being like truly awful. I’m not gonna air out anyone’s dirty laundry, but if you look into a bunch of Providence’s most loved small businesses, way more fucked up shit is happening than an owner who “has emotional regulation issues”.

I always end up typing waaaay more than I mean to in these threads lol. I just really love Little Sister as a Cuban-American living in Rhode Island. It may not be Cuban food, but it’s as close as you can get here and she has personally always treated me with extreme kindness and gratitude.

As an Armenian I too always laugh at this intersection but there is a reason for it being there, Douglas Avenue used to be heavily populated by Armenians in the 70’s and 80’s. The brick building that used to house the Brooklyn Coffee House or whatever (near Times 2) used to be home to a Armenian fraternal organization. My mother and many of her cousins, alongside other families, grew up on Camden Avenue. My grandmothers house (where I grew up and my family continues to live) is still there right off Admiral/Douglas.

As for other juxtapositions, this one isn’t as funny per se but I always found it interesting how at the intersection of Douglas and Eaton there is a police substation facing the projects. Meanwhile all the streets and houses along Eaton street are adorned by American flags, red solo cups, and a $50,000+ a year private university literally a stones throw from Section-8 housing.

Not sure if it counts, but the REMEMBER UKRAINE billboard sponsored by Job Lot amuses me.

Don’t worry about me baby, I’m fine. I just … part of me kind of feels bad for her because no one should walk through life with so much anger but man she punches down and she’s so ugly about it. Girl needs to work on her life issues.

Isn't in Providence, but in Middletown there's a Mexican restaurant called Tito's Cantina, And directly next door is a Taco Bell.

“I believe” , “have to imagine” , “I think”. At least there’s evidence and peoples’ accounts of interactions with Rebelle owner. The people who work at Marvin seem like they’re having a good time, but what do I know.

So probably just the owner doing what they should have done before rather than something exciting coming soon. Good point.

In the summer, Aldi has some super cheap and nice houseplants. Sadly in the winter, they do not have any. If you can hold off you can get huge plants for $15.

There was a post/tweet/something from Dune Bros a while back saying the lot was contaminated so they could not build there.

The stuff there is probably a remediation activity to address the contamination so the lot can be sold.

Or Nextdoor/Oakill Neighbor app!

Neighbors post free plants all the time - I got a smol jade tree recently!

i hate to jump on to this but I would also friggin love a rooted monstera ...

i have a very light colored arrowhead that flourishes if anyone wants a cutting (':
