Vet tech here, PRAH got bought out by a corporate owner in 2021.

Oberlin, Figidini. The eddy or Fortnight for drinks.

Love hill and harbor in eg

>and there’s maybe a handful of people who use them.

Woah, I must be hallucinating when I see people use them all day every day, even in the pouring rain!

Not to mention the “don’t chase” policy is because when people get injured in those chases they sue the city (see: Baltimore, Philly), which brings our taxes up even higher.

I’ve seen criticism of literally every vets prices on one platform or another but very little comments about quality of care. We had been at eastside and got brushed off when our pet had an emergency situation so we shopped around and are much happier at PRAH - and their parking is better to boot. Our cats are at city kitty / the care is excellent and like literally everyone else not cheap but I’m not sure why people think folks with training and expertise should be free.

We like Parkside

1. There’s absolutely old threads
2. Any hints at any preferences? Would help!

That's right near where that car smashed into that house's foundation some months back, too. What is it about that street that makes people want to be complete idiots?

It's actually super hard to find any information on the planters. I'm sure places like the WBNA have a good history on it, though.

I want to say that some social media site had someone referencing that the planters were installed back when that area was more of a cut through for people speeding when it was a lower income neighborhood. Less from a neighborhood quality of life standpoint and more to diffuse presumed nefarious activities.-- I have no source on this, only a rumor.

Only in recent years has the neighborhood massively gentrified-- even the change in the past 10 has been wild. Most zoning decisions over there seemed to be exclusionary back in the day, such as the neighborhood air quality being impacted by the 6-10 connector (and subsequent toxic soil), so I'd love to know more from an official source about how and why those ended up there.

Here’s what I found to be a really good read from folks who lived there: https://www.stagesoffreedom.org/lippitt-hill-project

I was wondering a few days ago when the Whole Foods in the plaza was opened and then just fell down the rabbit hole. Gentrification in this neighborhood has been a point of tension for longer than a lot of us have been alive.

Looks like they're waiting on Residency match.

But yeah a bit early to be posting this wide of a net nationally.

Oberlin is the best restaurant in Providence.

Threaded Needle. Or the Red Door.

Amaryllis.

I’ve seen lots of criticism of PRAH, mostly around their prices and that they upsell. I take my 3 to PRAH and I’ve never had an issue with them. Maybe they’re more expensive, I wouldn’t know, but they’re transparent about their prices. And I don’t expect my pets’ care to be cheap!

They are self routing around streets with speed bumps

Oberlin & The Eddy

I use Vitality Vet. One in swansee and one in so attleboro. Really like them and prices are good

What kind of food and what bar atmosphere are you looking for?

Hoffman Animal Hospital is the cheapest vet I've used in Rhode Island. I found them less inclined to suggest a lot of testing, etc. In a few cases, I actually would have liked more testing than they did. But I didn't feel like they were negligent-- maybe just more conscious of the cost-care balance.

I found them fine, though I occasionally found communication a little lacking (this is also true of Armory, which I switched to because they're up the street from me. Armory is significantly more expensive than Hoffman in my experience, but probably still cheaper than River for sure!)
