Typically a suicide isn't getting much media coverage unless it's something disruptive or a case where the media picks up a body was found and reports on it before the cops quietly tell them what happened and they drop the story.

I'm all for message in the last paragraph but the first part of this message and sending an email blast about feels a little gross to me, especially the part where they're talking about immigration/housing status.

An interstate along Nayatt Rd. LMAO. Never stood a chance! It’s super cool that there are some remnants of the second plan. I’ve always wondered what’s up with the stubs at the end of 295 @ 95 and at the end of the Newport Bridge access road in Newport. Thanks for posting!

I enjoyed both bodhi spa, and Norwich spa at the graduate hotel downtown. Norwich was a bit more private and serene/dark/quiet and calming with beautiful facilities. Bodhi is a tad more casual and can be busy depending how active the water journey is

This isn't about it being urban IMO. I think this is about the fact that TJ knowingly opened a "neighborhood" store that will underserve the many other people who will choose to shop it and didn't plan to accomodate the people who this store would have to serve until a more appropriate non-urban location can better serve providence, EP and everything adjacent.

Let's not pretend this store is strictly intended to cater to Fox Point and the residents of East Side when the next closest options are Patriots Place and Warwick.

I mean that was back in May so I would assume so.

Wow! Had no idea it was once so much bigger

It was much bigger. Providence's population was 253k in 1940. Post WWII, there was a huge move towards the suburbs. By 1980, Providence population was only 156k. It has grown slowly since then, but is still not up to where it was 100 years ago.

He's recovered from his crash then!?

Honky Tonk Man deserves all the fans.

Oh no 🥺 the person I'm meeting I'd say is high end. Jared Padalecki from Supernatural and Walker Texas Ranger. I met Christina Ricci the last time I went and the photo op was handled pretty well. Very very fast though.

We recently did a couples massage at Harmony on Hope and it was amaaaazing

I also have only done photos and like the other commenter said it differs on the person. I know RICC has a bad streak going with handling the higher end celebrities though. Over selling tickets, not refunding when no show and so on.

> why live in a walkable neighborhood if parking and driving is their priority

Because they are blind to the fact that their pretty and accessible neighborhood is that way because it wasn't designed for cars

If you believe the guy i work with, his grandfather designed it. I asked if he was still living, he said no. I asked where his grave site was, but he wouldn't tell me.

Seconded

Stay away from Butter Day Spa

That and more appeal from very close areas like new york and boston.

The trend is noticeable both inside and outside of Rhode island - highways are built through low-income communities rather than high-income neighborhoods.

Even if not discussing 95... Highways in general. It would negatively impact property values so wealthy property owners would fight for their property.

Poorer residents don't have the resources to do the same.

Nobody ignored the criticism, but the loss of parking is not a valid criticism.

It's proven time and time again the bike lanes are good for business despite the pearl clutching fears of drivers and business owners.

The thing most fail to realize is that accommodating bikes converts some drivers into cyclists, making less demand for parking in the first place.

And before you say "what about the weather" that link up there has numbers from Toronto, Cambridge, and NYC

My gripe is towards the group.. because unfortunately we are not living like in The Sims, where you can pick up and drop objects and push things around.. for example, the bike path advocates on hope st completely ignored the relevant criticism of the path and loss of nearly 100 parking spaces... the cars, if are able to park are going to park through the neighborhood hoods, 'who cares' the group says, well some of the neighbors do and they have a right to being heard.. and again, this is a perennial issue, so making permanent infrastructure for bike users for a few months a year is a hefty cost and headache for people, who, in large numbers, don't ride bikes at all..

What is the differing opinion though? That people shouldn't be able to use bikes for non-recreational purposes? Not trying to be a jerk but it seems like you're the one pushing the pro-car agenda with little to back it up except anger.

I love taking my kid to school on my bike instead of the car. Riding to the grocery store is refreshing instead of infuriating. Having protected paths to do those things on makes my life so much better. Everything for the past 100 or so years has been built around cars. Building infrastructure for other modes is not an attack on cars.

My vote is for Bodhe.

I love my bike. I ride recreational and for health. I think it is great the progression and evolution of bike culture blending into society, transportation. What I don't like are the nasty, forceful, progressive types that are pushing their agenda and not willing to except facts and or others differing opinion.
