I'm not sure how many "out of towners" come into the city and our state and whether that means we should even accommodate them. I've heard similar people in your position as arguments against more sidewalks and bike lanes, ie, "I have to commute by car from X town in RI and RIPTA sucks."

To me, that brings up two issues: Should we accommodate, especially in such a small, dense city, to cars? And why aren't we understanding that this infrastructure reduces car use among everyone? Let's be real, most people drive in Providence even if the destination is down the block because it's dangerous otherwise. I'm also not sure it's the responsibility of such a city to accommodate out of towners.

You don't need to drive in Providence, but many of us need to drive to get into Providence. Once you're in the neighborhood you want to be in, you're fine, but you have to be able to get downtown, or whatever neighborhood you want. It's a catch 22, you can't have a great walkable city without infrastructure changes and increases in RIPTA, but you won't get those things until you have the userbase to necessitate it, and that population won't come if it's not convenient. As a capitol city, it gets a substantial number of out of towners, they have to get to the city some how, and RIPTA isn't convenient. I live in Riverside and work in Providence, it takes me 25-20 minutes to drive to work everyday, but would take 1:35 on RIPTA. I don't want to see Providence paved over, but I have to be able to conveniently get into the city, so that I can enjoy it. I want better RIPTA service so I can take RIPTA home from a night out in Providence. Right now, the last bus from KP leaves at 10:30, that's barely dinner, no show, no dancing.

I’m glad people are finally coming around to this. Traffic laws are hardly enforced in the city

"Well see here's your problem..."

on the list now, Thanks. Looks like my wife won't be able to find me very easily lol.

seems popular, will check it out definitely. Thanks!!!

This is how we get more speed bumps, which looking at a photo like this, I think we need, but when I'm commuting and go over 10 of them, it is still annoying.

So basically people can't behave like normal adults behind the wheel, and like a class in middle school, everyone gets punished for the actions of a few morons.

on my list now. Thanks

will look into it. Thanks

> Thankfully, nobody was severely injured.

Maybe if drivers actually were injured they'd learn but instead this driver probably learned nothing.

We recently moved to RI and prefer the folks at Cranston Animal Hospital. They were thorough and kind with our dog, who gets nervous at the vet, during her yearly checkup. They also didn't try to sell us on vaccinations (e.g., flu shot) unless they thought we'd need it for dog day care, etc.

what did I miss? Last show I went to was in Atlanta for Corrosion of Conformity, The Melvins, and Ministry. Before that was Pigface.

will check out the Big top flea market. Thanks!!!

I think Armageddon is on my list. Will have to check out Pizza J. Thanks for the suggestion

Not a thanksgiving food but they’re pistachio macarons are probably my most favorite Treat Yoself fancy item

Cool. Will look into this. I love Pinball museums. There's one in Asheville, NC that I went to last year.

Free Play was on my list. Will have to look at Back to the Future and The Time Capsule. Appreciate the suggestions.

Rocket To Mars would be a good shop! they have a whole display about the Mars plastic company that used to be in Olnyville and manufactured the original star wars toys in the 70's

Armory Animal Hospital is good.

It’s frustrating and dangerous for those of us that live in the neighborhood. Normally, I’m against the idea of putting speed humps on the roads, but these one ways definitely need them.

Yeah, I see it multiple times a day - especially with the detours. I couldn’t really tell from the wreckage who came from which direction (I heard it, but didn’t see it happen), but I also would not be shocked if that were the case.

Said this here before: he bends over backwards to the police union, tried to privatize our WATER, has let shitty developers run rampant with hotels and ugly ass condos, trying to remove any trace of poor people from Kennedy Plaza, etc…

They fly down America in the wrong direction daily. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case here.

If it’s SW and other vintage comics you want you MUST stop into Rah Coco’s on Academy Ave in Providence. Used to be near State House it is now in Mt Pleasant neighborhood off Academy.

We need more traffic calming infrastructure on our streets. Drivers can't be trusted to control themselves.
