Reply to Last night on America x Federal by sweetener__
People have sometimes been driving almost highway speeds in this neighborhood, not stopping at stop signs or even bothering to look out for other drivers or pedestrians. A car should not be hit with such force that it FLIPS on these streets. Thankfully, nobody was severely injured. But…what the fuck. Cmon.

Have you seen the video on YouTube where those guys broke in and hung out at the very top? Watching it gave me vertigo

I used to live in Coolidge and that market was great. Plus there was a green line stop right at the front door. Again—not built for drivers so, yes, it was a nightmare for drivers. Sorry—go to stop and shop instead if you want east parking. The world doesn’t revolve around someone from Barrington easily driving everywhere they want to go.

If I remember correctly there are also a few punk/noise shows happening at Red Ink Library on Camp St this month.

Yes, I always felt he was intent on keeping up with the latest mayoral fashions (mostly a good thing) but whenever the initiatives bump up against entrenched powers, his will to fight is not there.

I’m honestly so torn about this, the building is gorgeous and a major state symbol, but I can understand why people wouldn’t want to subsidize a developer. We’re also in a housing shortage though, and any housing / business is better than the nothing currently residing in the building

I was there at 1pm, it was dicey for peds and drivers even with a someone managing traffic. I do agree the foot traffic on Wickenden brought out people and added to the energy.

I’m sure you’ve tried everything but if you haven’t already, place their litter box outside. I hope they find their way home ♥️

Money has been approved by the city council as of last night to renovate the building and make it into a commercial/real estate location - https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/11/03/metro/superman-building-providence-gets-key-approval-redevelopment-city-subsidy/

There's def some heavy HDR-action to make the colors look the way they do.

Funny thing is,I grew up in Woonsocket pretty much my whole life but never visited the museum. Most likely because my grandparents told me a bunch of stories AND in high school I took a “ Woonsocket History “ course, which was great! I really should still visit the museum though 😁
