Near brown is nice and quiet with good restaurant and bars, but it’s expensive as hell

Considering how much members of the GOP project I wonder what Quattrocchi is hiding on his laptop.

I don’t have an answer unfortunately, but would love to hear how your ride goes!

Southside is where it is really at.
Most diverse in every way, most neighborly, therefore not exactly the quietest in the Summer.
Anywhere along Elmwood or Broad. You could walk or cycle to work.
Don’t be shy!

Welcome to Providence. May I suggest you look at the West End / Federal Hill area. I have lived in every section of PVD over the last 30 years and I truly love living in the West End the most. Beyond the gorgeous architecture it is a true neighborhood. You will have real neighbors that look out for each other. Plus everything is within walking distance including the hospital complex. Add to this that there is great food throughout and a smattering of awesome bars and it’s hard to beat. Best of luck to you.

Lol, just a typical conservative using words that they don’t fully understand. They do seem to have a firm grasp on pedophillia though, it honestly feels like projection at this point.

🤦 Talking about something you witnessed is not hearsay.

New Rivers for a full meal, the Eddy for great cocktails and filling snacks. The East End is a solid runner up - their cocktails program is more expansive than New Rivers, but I don’t think the food is as good.
Ooh, and I’ve forgotten the Red Door - it’s more of a bar atmosphere than a restaurant atmosphere, but both the drinks and the food are great.

I get really suspicious of the highly "moral" types who say this so loudly. Too often they are trying to divert attention away from something.

Just because you don’t believe that it happened doesn’t mean that there isn’t literally an entire room of people who witnessed it happen in real time.
I posted here because it was an outrageous and unprofessional abuse of power from an elected official, and felt that as many people need to know about it as possible.

Here’s what happened to the best that I can recall:
Rep Kislak presented a bill that would attach a social impact statement for all new legislation that would outline how new bills would either directly or indirectly affect communities of color, LGBTQ, gender identities and other underrepresented groups throughout the state, as though it’s an environmental impact or a financial impact statement.
Quattrocchi went on to ask that, if because it includes all gender identities, that also includes sex offenders, satanists and pedophiles.
Kislak rightly took offense to that, and vocalized her objection to his inquiry, because why the fuck would that be a reasonable response to anything, even from a republican. She responded “Thankfully pedophiles aren’t a gender identity.” Quattrocchi responds to Kislak’s objection with the accusation “What, are you a pedophile?”
Those aren’t exact quotes, but they’re as close to what I can remember now as I can get.

Or ya know the poster can talk about it as it's happening in real time and follow up with a video later, like they said they would. It's not their fault Capitol TV posts are delayed. I also was watching the hearing and heard it all happen too. Start watching Capitol TV more often and you'll see just the kind of nonsense things your rep says.

Then wait till you have the video to make the post.
At this point, you’re just spreading hearsay. Be better than that.

The East End. Make a reservation and ask for a table by the window.

Thanks for posting this!!
I’m sitting here wondering… when/how can actual survivors of child sexual abuse (I am one of many, many diverse stories) speak up and check talking point from people who (seemingly) have no first-hand idea what they are talking about.
WHY ARE YOU CLAIMING TO SPEAK FOR US? Ever ask survivors what they think would help?
(And this is sort of outside politics as I am independent/moderate/eclectic). Obviously elements of the GOP are running with this right now and it’s infuriating… as a survivor….
Go r/you
