The Federal Hill area (west of downtown)is worth checking out. 29M, and I moved here from Florida last October, after flying up and checking out the city for a weekend.

I like the area, have been able to live without a car. The area from here to downtown is very walkable. I think the city being so walkable makes it a very nice location for dog-lovers.

It can be a little difficult to break into social circles, but I’ve found the dating pool of young professionals/grad students to be fine. You have to put effort in to get the results you want.

I gotta admit, it was a big shock seeing more dogs in public places when I moved up here. I’m not like, 100% against it, but it’s people who feel this comfortable and entitled that ruin it for everyone else. Like, when I see a dog shaking itself out in a grocery store or something, I can’t help but be like, “Yeeaaaahhh, maybe it makes sense to not allow dogs in stores.”

Two dog owner here. Imho, PVD and Rhode Island is not that dog friendly.

I was in Burlington VT for years and that was much more dog friendly, with much nicer dog parks & outdoor activities -- dogs were also welcome in the main shopping areas.

The dog parks around the state are a just a pile of dirt mounds and weeds. There is one dog friendly beach too, and its in the middle of an industrial park.

East side of providence is rich in history, shops, activities, everything. Hope St has a lot of stores including a dance studio but kinda deadly if you aren't driving, Thayer St if you're into modern stuff like boba tea, crepes, cute asian shops, Benefit St. for those long romantic, historical walks... lots to do.

Wow, like, ok, I don't want fur and hair in my food and I'm kinda concerned with folks who are allergic. Also, what if someone sits there after and there's hair and maybe even dog shit residue or whatever?

I'd just tell them to their face tbh, then again, I'm not afraid of confrontation.

Prov is definitely dog friendly, overtly so actually. Near my parents house there is a park that has been turned into an unofficial dog park even though the sign says no dog allowed… lol. As for dating, it’s what you make of it. There are a ton of bars and clubs (if that’s your thing) to meet people.

Thank you! I called this morning to try that and they confirmed same day walk ins are accepted, as long as you show up by/at 8am and not on a Tuesday.

I didn't know you could write them a letter, that's kinda cool lol. But nah I'd rather not lie and can own up to the infraction, but would just like to show up to request it be discounted. I personally do not have a driving record or any tickets like this, but the person who borrowed my car these two dates got it, and claimed they never saw the ticket for the tow zone one.

Loud and wrong in this case bucko. That is what I thought as well - court and records etc are very specific and need to be prepared + I can only imagine how many parking violations there are to be seen lol. But I just called the municipal court - they have walk ins available to be seen the day of, you just have to show up and check in at 8am sharp! For parking violations only.

You had your chance to schedule a hearing when you got the ticket. Since a normal tow zone ticket is only $100, I’m guessing you ignored it for at least a month and the fine tripled.

You fucked around and found out. You had every chance to handle it easily on your own terms in a timely fashion, but you didn’t. Now you’ve got to go when they say.
