Also, just a few miles northeast there was the Shpack Landfill site in Norton and Attleborough Mass, where a landowner allowed people to just dump chemicals and whatever else the municipal waste wouldn’t take. They received nuclear waste and the contamination wasn’t discovered until the 70s.

2k+ for an apartment like that. Also consider parking when looking for places. And there aren't any bad neighborhoods in Providence, but there are definitely differences in aesthetic, noise and access to amenities

Ah yes, as a beekeeper of 5 years, my favorite species of bees are the *Native* brick bee /s
Another nonsensical gimmick... why don't we just maintain the little habitat that Providence hasn't destroyed?

Right? Nic a nees has windows for Christ’s sake! Proper dive bars should have basement window style windows if any at all. All kidding aside, no one would say that about scurvy if they’d spent any time there.

FB and Instagram Trails and Walks RI. Hosted by Ernie Germani. A range of challenge levels and a bit of a history about each location. Nice people. Good luck.

Do we really? Wouldn’t a livable wage and a working economy that reflects the local cost of living make a bit more sense? Seriously though, lowering the cost of living here isn’t going to deter transplants.. it would make it so much worse.

Why is everyone moving here ? We need affordable housing for the people that already live here

I had some classes at RINSC years ago, research reactors used to be super common and a lot of universities used to have them, the facility had tons of scientific equipment from other reactors that shut down. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if brown had one too, a particle accelerator would make more sense as the regulatory approval for those is a lot easier. RI’s nuclear science community is super tiny and full of nerds so I’m sure if you contacted them they’d know more about it.
Highly recommend finding a tour of the place sometime if possible, you can see the tiny reactor glow blue, and the building was made on a WWII gun emplacement so the foundation in the basement is really weird

It's not freezing for awhile. 37 degrees right now and supposed to stay above freezing.
