Read your HOA bylaws re: finish work. Typically, the HOA shouldn't give a hoot about work inside of your condo so long as it doesn't have the potential to interfere. i.e. if you're doing some bathroom maintenance then they'll want to make sure your contractor is licensed and bonded and that they are aware of when they're coming.

source: both of my parents have been president of their respective HOA boards in the past (and have since resigned because there is nothing redeeming about it)

I know someone who works downtown at a club. No frisking takes place.

I've been to ego and was frisked very personally and I'd even say with vigor.

Kinda liked it, ngl

But that's the only place I've been frisked.

As a cane corso owner, couldn't agree more. My dog is sweet, goes to stores with me, lets anyone pet him. But he's got a switch that 2000 years of being a guardian dog will bring out in him when he senses danger. In the wrong hands that switch will go off for things that may not actually be dangerous. When people ask me if they should get a corso, I tell them absolutely not.

I'm not sure exactly, I'd assume you'd have to be a person who filed the bite report. Our report situation started from when the vet reported it. Then the Providence Animal control called to file a report, which they never did, until a month or two later when i pushed for the vicious dog hearing. The whole thing was a shit show tbh.

So if the dog was injured they probably took it to the vet, and the vet would have to report it to Providence animal control. (thats a big what if) If it was anything like the dog attack that happened to my dog.

You might be able to call some local/emergency vets. Mention you witnessed a dog attack and just wanted to let the owners know you'd be a witness for them if they were seeking legal recourse.

which im not even sure if there is any. If the dog is declared vicious the owners have to keep in muzzled or in a fenced in caged pen and a bunch of other requirements. Who knows what's considered vicious or how many incidents are required.

What do you mean "without warning" or given no reason? Was it after they had entered/been admitted? I mean it's pretty standard procedure to check people at the door to these nightspots, for obvious reasons.

If you are worried about encountering an off-leash dog that is potentially dangerous I suggest you carry a can of citronella spray. Basically dog mace. Spray it right in their face. If they are close enough aim for the nose & eyes for max irritation. Get it on amazon

A small air horn is another option as the sound might scare them. Have an umbrella on you? Open it up as a shield. Or grab something near by like a stick or rock.

Have a small dog? Do your best to NOT pick up your dog if the dangerous dog is close. A larger breed might see fast moving small fluffy thing and have an intense desire to get it in its mouth. But - if you are near say a garbage bin, take the chance and open it up and drop your dog in there and close the lid. If you are next to a fenced enclosure like somones yard drop them in there.

One recommendation I see a lot is to throw treats at the dog if you have any on you. If the dog is truly aggressive this will probably not work. If the dog doesn't seem to be threatening but you aren't sure of their intentions toss a handful right at their feet. It might give you some time to back away from the dog.

I've had people tell me yelling "GO HOME!" has worked for them. Again, if the dog is truly aggressive and means business that probably isn't going to work.

It isn't exclusively a comedy venue, they also have music and films, but I've seen Maria Bamford and Nick Kroll at the Columbus Theatre. Mike Birbiglia is also coming there soon, though I believe it is sold out.

Comedy Connection is the only right answer here.

You get a ton of great degenerate comics from NY that don’t feel like hauling up to Boston and want to spend their take at Foxwoods while they’re up here.

I moved up to Boston some time ago and the only good shows I can find are either at the Wilbur or heading back down to Prov.
