I like Napolitano's but you gotta ask for extra crispy. Pizza Marvin is worth a shot

Reply to RIPTA first-timer by cinnamonh
It's only every hour instead of every 20 minutes, but the 66 goes directly to downtown Providence via I-95 from the airport and will cut your travel time in half for the first leg of your trip.
As far as safety and reliability, RIPTA is very good for an American transit agency in a city the size of Providence. You might encounter some characters on the bus but there are security cameras on all the buses and the drivers don't tolerate bullshit.

Thank you all so much for these leads, please keep them coming. Going to dig more into them.

Agreed. That would be my guess, that it’s a college student, but not for sure.

I mean the mall was part of PVDs downtown re-emerging. It’s not like downtown today is some run down ghost town. Brick n mortar “Shopping” in general is dying, mall or not. It’s not like Worcester and Hartford have Crate & Barrel and Anthropologie downtown cause they don’t have a mall. The mall still brings lots of people to downtown PVD.

The mall arguably killed downtown shopping, though. And makes it much harder for downtown to revive, like other downtowns are.

I would believe this is a 21yr olds painting (that’s how old they would have been in ‘29 according to the census data)
Edit: it seems like your data is a little different than what’s presented on this site.

One lead I found. There was a Joachim (who went by George) Gagnon (1874-1945) who lived in providence at that time.

This is the only thing I found that would be close in age.

Understandable.
It's a trade-off between time and price.

Depending on when you're going, it can be a lot cheaper to park than $25, but you want to book sooner rather than later. You don't want to park at a Logan lot, it's cheaper to go to Revere or something a couple miles away, and take a shuttle. Most longterm lots are just hotel parking lots.

I only specified MBTA because last minute it’s $13 while I’ve seen Amtrak charge $50-90 within a few days of travel.

Make a section of the mall into little store fronts. Allow people to try and establish and grow a small business. Make a section for food, apparel, tech, hobbies whatever. Allow them access to a POS system, shelving, equipment etc. Have a website community where the employees of these establishments can seamlessly move to a new vendor to keep it fresh and learn a new business or gather new clients. I feel like we need some fresh ideas for commerce in this state.

An Uber is about $75 - $100 each way. Not exactly economical, but not super expensive either.

I noticed the other day there’s an express bus at the Mansfield train stop. Could hop on the train and plan around that schedule.

If you get off the Amtrak or MBTA at back bay, there’s a free shuttle to Logan that leaves from in front of the station!

You may even be able to take a RIPTA bus to the train station and leave your car at home. Some bus routes serve the station directly, others drop you at Kennedy Plaza but you can transfer to the R Line or walk.

They run a 7:15-8:40 AM bus and a 12:45-2:10 PM bus each day.
