more lazy than false. like a golocal "story" is often a one paragraph statement from the cops
we could get press releases from the providence police department directly without this sub serving as a clickfarm

What if we all golocalprov haters down vote the post? Would it make a difference as far as exposure?

>why are we obligated to debate it among ourselves?
First, I think it's important to cultivate critical thinking skills and be able to independently weigh the credibility of articles, authors, and sources linked here, rather than relying on others to do it. I think discussing the credibility of a given source in the comments is far better than sources being blacklisted outright.
Second, blacklisting is how you end up with echo chambers. I'd much rather be able to know what folks who read GoLocalProv uncritically are thinking and talking about than only see links that adhere to a particular point of view or ideology.
Third, the mods are never going to blacklist GoLocalProv. Or any other news source. I guarantee it. There aren't going to be any changes made to the way news and articles are posted here, at least not as a result of this discussion.

Third for Wildflour! I’m not vegan/GF & these are incredible—super moist & a nice rotation of flavors. Lemon lavender, carrot cake, & PB flavors are some faves.

>It's a shit tabloid .... Their bias and lack of quality is clear just by reading them.
Bro.... Those are great arguments for banning that publication. If it's bullshit from first glance, why are we obligated to debate it among ourselves?

The Starbucks on Thayer St used to have them. I haven't been to that location in a while so I'm not sure if they still offer it, but it's worth a phone call!

And both locations are worth the parking situation, although Admiral does have a small back lot.

LaSalle doesn't get enough love because of the location, but it's fantastic

It’s on the same block as buildings with plastic siding and 1970s concrete buildings. Not sure that one building made an entire street. Their building was a disaster in complete disarray. Sure, it would have been nice to keep but everyone wants to “save historic buildings” but no one wants to pay for it.

Yeah, I saw that, that building was something that gave the area its vibe. Very sad.

I like the idea of requiring commentary and limiting the number of links posted per week. There could also be a thing about if you circumvent the rule with a second account that will result in a ban.
