The mall provides a public service. Brown University doesn’t have a single location where you can build you own bear.

Nice twist, but it just shows a lack of understanding of urban street culture.
While riding is fun, the true thrill is the bold disobedience.
They are expressing themselves through their actions. They are essentially throwing up a huge middle finger to society.

JWU is significantly cheaper than PC, Bryant, etc.
So yeah, cry me a river that you chose to b*itch about the school that is offering an affordable education for Rhode Islanders.

If you want to paint Black kids as inherently criminal, that's on you. That is not my opinion.

The people suggesting a legal space to ride are missing the entire point.
This is urban street culture. It's rooted in defiance.

They have something like this in Boulder and people hate it, the rents are wildly expensive too.

Going to pay more attention to sound quality as a matter of where you sit. Times I've gone to PPAC sound has been lousy or OK but never very good. Balcony seems best come to think of it.

Reply to Best way to get to Logan Airport by Psychological_Tune53
For me it depends on the time of day I’m leaving and how much luggage and time I have. Given the cost of parking that you mentioned, taking an Uber or Lyft isn’t too bad. If you have the time and don’t have a ton of luggage, take the Amtrak or Commuter to South Station then switch to the T to take the Silver Line to Logan.

I live in a building with students and have no problems at all. concern is particular situations like I've seen first hand such as a landlord deciding to modify 2 bed apartments in to 3 or 4 bed apartments, and renting out the tiny rooms individually for insane money. maybe it's fair game but to me it's shady. Weather or not the tenants, student or not, are cool with it is not my concern.
Personally I feel limiting 3 per unit is asinine, and discrimination against students or marketing apartments only to students is wrong. Landlords will likely find ways around it anyway, though. That said, I feel there should be a square foot per person limit for the sake of safety and consumer protection which applies to all.

There is never only one correct answer when it comes to pizza. Downvoted.

yes, confidence is key! if you look remotely college-aged you should be fine. If not come in with some kind of plausible excuse. it will be the end of the semester so maybe you're a relative visiting a student graduating

Many of the older people don't care but if they did this then I guarantee the news, effects, and yes votes would circulate like wildfire with the under 40 crowd that are already increasingly politically active.
This isn't some small thing that would be easily swept under the rug with how bad people are already struggling to secure housing.

If people are forced into cramming in like that to have any housing or pay rent to begin with, they should be looking at that problem first.
Kicking people out with an ordinance change is going to fuck us all over hard. If they want to punish and prevent exploitative landlords, they can do it in a way that doesn't punish everyone else who actually live in PVD and are struggling to find non absurdly priced housing as is.

Balcony, second dress circle, also there on Saturday night.
While I normally complain about the sound quality at PPAC, mostly that the instruments overwhelm the voices, this time, I thought it was fine.
