What are people storing? I see so many of these damn places! When I run out of space I just get rid of stuff.

Another lovely addition to the city❤️just like all the red and green paint on the downtown streets, massive amount of speed bumps, and endless number of bike lanes that don't get used.

Mayor Smiley is all over the news, giving interviews, and no mention of a parking ban yet. I think we’re in the clear.

We need more storage units like we need more AirBnbs.

I was in there 2 weeks ago and saw the sign. I did not bring one, but that is what it said.

I got a plant at a nursery in Tiverton and have been eating from that… they ate pretty easy plants to keep. I bet other places sell them, but that’s where I decided I wanted to eat it often.

This was just posted on the City of Providence FB page - no mention of a parking ban
“Snow is forecasted for the City of Providence beginning tonight at 11PM through 7AM the following morning. Freezing rain is also expected for Tuesday afternoon and temperatures will remain below freezing through Tuesday night.
There will be a one-day trash delay starting tonight.”

Ha. Like people are going to move their cars. The only reason we have a night time parking ban is due to derelict vehicles.

Story isn't behind a paywall. If you're hitting a paywall, it's because you've read a few stories already this week.
Please consider subscribing. We still have a President's Day sale that is really, really affordable.

Reply to comment by Choc401 in can you give me a few locations for 50 cent chicken wings night?(any day) by Choc401
Yes I think the place was outside of Providence either Cranston or Johnston, which lead to refusal of service of the patron for saying she under tipped and totally came to take advantage of the wing deal.

The building that's there is basically 2 stories tall. Proposal would keep the facade and build way up.

From the article,
>The state sold the brick building at 50 Branch Ave. in 2020 after the Board of Elections decamped for a larger new home in an industrial park in suburban Cranston.

50 Branch Ave is the RI Board of Elections administrative offices. Where’s that going?

You can get into and out of Nikki's from the street behind and it really makes it much easier

I don't think there are any vacancies in that plaza and it was only built like 3 years ago

Ya my bad on the location. I usually start the day with New YORK system before headed to POP and got confused there.

I've crossed state lines before for good wings, so I'll definitely have to check them out then, though I'm not sure it solves the problem of their being none really nearby...

fwiw, the city already posted a notice about trash pickup tomorrow and it doesn't meant a ban. I'd be kinda shocked if that changes.
