Posted on here every other day. Especially with zero info you're better off doing a search in the sub.

Calling it "west side" is a clear indication you were ever affiliated with WBNA.

Reply to comment by Educational_Leg36 in Anyone know what this big red ship with the white V is? Docked in East Prov, this picture is off the coast of India point park. I’ve seen it before, but it hasn’t been here recently. Just curious! by vodka_baby_nightmare
This is nice to know, I was always curious about the shipping situation in the area

Personally… The bike paths… can’t stand them. It’s too cold half the year to bike and there’s maybe a handful of people who use them. I blame Elorza

This photo looks so hyper realistic that it comes full circle and doesn’t look real

Also... rhode island historical has information, they have a library on hope street. Ri Preservation has an online pdf, and several town archives will have access for you. I went to school for this type of thing... if you have any questions... feel free!

That’s a nice one! I always wanted to capture it when it has its lights on, but lately it just looks dark or I have been looking at it during wrong times

Not a providence resident, but I like so much of what he's done and attempted to do. Mostly parks and urban planning, but some other things as well. If you dive into the great streets initiative master plan type thing (can't remember what it's called) it's really sonething. I don't know if he's as hated as the loudest voices make it out to be, but that made it seem he was doomed. I would totally vote for him.
I will have some details wrong here, but I remember there was that impasse where he submitted the budget or something but the committee refused to vote it at all... until he was out of town (on vacation or maybe even just a mayors convention or something) and then they voted real quick then made a big stink about him being asleep at the wheel and an absentee politician. There were even more layers of absurdity to it but that was the gist. And I'm pretty sure Raimondo made his life difficult.

Wow that's really sad to hear.. We went trick or treat around the park on Monday night with my 2 year old daughter.
We used to do laps around the park and go to the playground beginning of the summer, but there's always people sleeping the grass and drinking beer.
As much as I love my city, we changed to the Johnston memorial park.
R.I.P.

If something isnt on the news, posting to the providence sub reddit makes absolute perfect sense if someone wants to find out what happened in providence. Literally nothing bizarre about it

Earlier (which is what this post is probably referring to), cops were looking for someone on foot. There were cops running (on foot and in cruisers) all over the neighborhood for a good hour.
And just about an hour ago, there was a major accident at the corner of America and Federal. Car ran the stop sign going super fast, hit another car so hard it flipped. Driver of the fast car fled the scene on foot and left their passengers behind. As far as I can tell, no one was seriously injured.
Basically, today is madness lol

I know. That’s why I called so many cops on you. I’m sorry. I hope someday you can forgive me.

While that is a possibility, he was considered an underdog to win when he dropped out. This public radio article covers it pretty well "A Providence mayor has not won election as governor since Dennis Roberts won four two-year terms in the 1950s. And the uncertain level of statewide support for Elorza, even with more than $1 million in his campaign account, led campaign observers to question his chances of victory." (source: https://thepublicsradio.org/article/elorza-will-not-run-for-ri-governor-in-2022 )
He also wouldn't rule out a future run for higher office. I think if Raimondo was a lame duck and he had better odds, we might have seen different choices here. Allan fung has run and lost repeatedly for office (and actually likely to win this time), but I don't think most candidates want to take the L like that if they can help it.
