Definitely not my car but I'm spooked because I was born on 3/3 and also grew up in Cumberland, now living in Providence. Small world.

Who would confess to owning a Buick Sedan?

Someone reached out about coming to get them tomorrow afternoon. If they don't need them all, I'll give you a shout.

Uber and Lyft also. But I'd still bet these fools are driving.

There is no reason to drink and drive. Plenty to do in Providence.

Bradley Cafe on Admiral is cooking up 300+ lbs of corned beef and typically has the PPD/PFD bagpipes come by to play.

Pro tip--if you need boxes, got to the liquor store. They have a ton of them always. And unlike the grocery store, the boxes won't be dirty from food.

You could probably run the vin for a title report or registration location if you pay for Carfax reports

Instead of going after rights, how about you go after the police and prosecutors that have failed to charge and PROSECUTE THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS
The gun charges always get plead down and misdemeanor convictions don’t do shit.
And confer with gun owners to find common ground. We aren’t the monsters you think we are. I also notice a lot of ill informed people in MDA that go with emotional instead of factual

I could also use some, but only if the other commenter doesn't need them all.

Reply to comment by huron9000 in Yoleni’s in Downtown Providence has closed by lovecraft_401
First off: are you really so cheap that you can’t spend $4 on a parking meter? The meters don’t exist to screw over drivers, they’re there to help businesses—they don’t want people to just park all day while they go and do other things, they want the street spots to be for visitors and store patrons. No one is avoiding downtown because of meters, that’s ridiculous. Any serious urban main street has meters.
Secondly, you’re right that more workers would also help the cause but that’s not going to happen. Even before the pandemic, the trend was moving away from old school financial districts. Businesses were just as happy being in lofts in Valley as they are being downtown. Also, finance jobs generally have been declining for years, even in Boston. Work from home exacerbated the problem.
These days, more housing means more workers Most professionals work from home 2-3 days a week. So if they live downtown that means they’re going out to lunch and shopping just like office workers used to, but unlike office workers they’re also around on nights and weekends. The line between home and work is blurred so we need more homes downtown.
Finally: of course, luring people from the burbs is an important part of the equation, but that happens by being a great place. If it’s worth coming to, people from the burbs will come to Providence, even if it means paying for parking. For it to be worthwhile, however, it needs to be vibrant and walkable and fun. It doesn’t matter if parking is easy if it’s not a place where people want to go. In fact, parking is ONLY easy in places where people don’t want to be. If a place is successful then it’s inherently difficult to park because a lot of people want to be there and will be fighting for parking.

No amount of education or changing of laws will stop the gun violence that goes on in pvd. You have to start convicting criminals and putting them away instead of letting them back in the street. Install less liberal judges.

Ogies and lucky enough are walking distance. You can make a bar crawl out of it.

I’d call 311 and report an abandoned vehicle. They can tow the car, and maybe run the VIN.

And, FWIW, I am OK if you force us to get licenses like Mass. I am OK with that because a gun is a responsibility, and people should have basic knowledge of how to operate a firearm safely. But it should not be prohibitive, and I would perhaps come up with a tax such that classes are held regularly and freely.
I am further OK with a tax on firearms or ammunition to pay for free education. I often see correlation between uneducated area and murder rate, and I'm OK if we try to solve this together.
