This is a couple of years old, but they’re still doing it.

I think there was a few pilot programs last year with streets were exempt from the parking ban, not sure if that is still happening. I think they were somewhere in the area of Dexter park? Otherwise it think you would have to park in a lot.

Any where they can.. I've been lucky enough to have friends with extra parking spots. Worst case scenario, one could park at the mall overnight.

Used to work near Buff’s and they were great. Boneheads in RI was legit better than Buff’s, but they closed and I get sad about it probably weekly.

Wasn't there a recent story about a person so called taking advantage of a wing night and not tipping or some nonsense.

The demand is skyrocketing. The developers aren't investing millions of dollars because they love the storage business. There's no profit in housing anymore unless you build one of those Boston style luxury towers for the beautiful people.

I used to live on Duncan, this is the old board of elections building and right next to nikkis. North main Street really does separate the two sides though, even though we would want to walk sometimes to the old bennys or Nikki's we would rather drive since it was safer.

We are headed into a recession, I can't think of a worse time to build a multi use retail development in a new location
Also retail would lead to much more traffic in the area compared to storage

Where do people go to park if they only have street parking during a ban?

YES but they want to add height and depth to it. That stretch should be retail.

Rose Alley Ale House in New Bedford is pretty damn good as well.

I agree with you. There isn't much that can open in that spot that would be better. There is already a strip mall next door with open vacancies. I hope the entrance is on Dryden Ln too so it ensures that no traffic builds up.
Right now, that building looks abandoned and is just a box. If anything will move there and make it seem less run down the better.

I love this take so much, because yoga is as British as it is Indian. Yoga is a mix of Indian meditation practice and British Calisthenics.

6-8 hours or more usually. I'd just download the 311 app and manually check the city's and mayor's social media feeds by late afternoon.

Lmfao this has to be trolling. OP has mastered post-ironic thought. BIPOC yoga to escape the semantic gentrification of the west end? Get me off this earth, im belly laughing right now.

Boneheads was the only one I'd have said was worth it, if they were still around. They did have great wings...
