Plus it overlaps with Pride. Can make the draw problematic. I know I prefer Pride.

Unfortunate. Last year was my first time going and it was kind of nice having a big start of summer gathering. Doing it when more students can attend makes sense though.

Reply to Long Distance Cycling: Best way to get from Pomfret, CT to Providence, RI? by GravitationalOno
I looked at the google maps suggestions and they dont look terrible. The most direct routes look the least fun. I would avoid Rt 6 and Rt 44. On the suggested google route, i would navigate off Rt 101 and use less traveled roads to get to Central Pike and stop and see Swamp Meadow Covered Bridge, one of only 2 in RI. Once you cross the Reservoir you can climb up to Central Ave which will take you right into the Olneyville section of Providence. Celebrate with a taco, weiner or Cuban. Traffic is busy in Olneyville Square but Ive never had an issue and ride through there all the time.

Does anyone know how exactly to qualify? Do you just have to make below poverty wages? I'm willing to do that to get free housing.

Reply to Why do Rhode Islanders say bubbler when most people don't? Here's what we found out by Katie_Lan
Let's write a fluff piece about local colloquialisms that doesn't include any real information.
Quality journalism worthy of projo's paywalls.

Ive ridden the unpaved section from the Parking Lot to the CT border, totally rideable.

Most malls have been struggling for the last decade and the pandemic just made it worse. Consumer habits and competition have just changed so much from the 80s and 90s. malls just aren’t what they used to be

The lack of a good Jewish deli is one of the biggest gaps in Providence’s food scene.

Reply to Moving to Providence by FriendPlastic
Moved here from Philly about 8 years ago. I’d recommend checking out the West End, Hope Village, and Fox Point. The lofts in Olneyville/Valley are worth checking out too. It’s not an easy place to find an apartment though, the recommendation someone else made to get a long term Airbnb is a good one, and what I did when I moved here. And honestly a lot of the locals will give hilariously out of touch advice about how dangerous downtown Providence is. If you’ve lived in a city before and have even a shred of common sense you’ll be fine.

Seriously. Nordstrom->boscovs was already a huge downgrade, but losing the cafe still hurts.

Considering Night Shift fired all of their employees only a few months ago and now only contract brew, I feel pretty confident in my assumption

I loved looking at that view as a kid! I always wonder where those windows are now in the mall.

Reply to comment by cnorl in Bill would create $50-million revolving fund to develop public housing by kbd77
I think the state will sell the housing at a very high price and give them an enormous tax break. Prov only has entertainment now and it will become like Boston soon which has the highest percentage of subsidized of any major city. I think the taxes will increase for everyone else too. They approved an empty lot on Valley st for 52 units and it’s for sale for over 1 million. I think they could easily hold it and build themselves but they don’t. . But This is all my opinion
