Definitely was an immediately sell for me too! My guest is a musician too so I don’t think I could ring him in if it was pre-recorded music haha

That’s about 22,000 people in Providence alone who use bikes. Does that even count all the folks from the surrounding areas who bike in to providence?
A huge difference from the “handful” you originally purported.

Anywhere it’s legal to smoke a cigarette, it’s legal to smoke a joint. Just spark up outside if they have seating. I smoke all over the place in a respectful manner and it’s been years since anyone has had anything to say about it.

Hands down Boston. Agree with poster above that Boston isn’t necessarily the caliber you’d expect with the rep they have, but in comparison to Festival Ballet here in Providence, there isn’t really a comparison when it comes to talent and quality of the production. Plus Boston has a live orchestra, which is what would sell me. Professional ballet done to canned music is pathetic imo.

I’m glad that the 12% of bike users in prov are enjoying them(pg 15) (https://pvdstreets.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/21-8057-Providence-Great-Streets-Initiative-Report.pdf Maybe you see those type of people in downtown or on the east side ( though I usually see people walk or use the electric scooters atp) but in the North and South I see even less than a handful. And that joke of an initiative near PC should shine a light on how much they’re “needed”. The bike path that cost thousands to make, and then we get rid of it a week later, costing thousands more. Most of the bike paths we have have been heavily opposed including students themselves https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2021/11/mcgough-23-biking-in-providence-is-bad-and-brown-is-part-of-the-problem. Im here for the planet, and sustainability but providence is too small, and filled up w too many people who use cars for there to be a lane taken away and given up for 1 person to use. I could see the funds being used for a lot more, like the craters on the roads, but Elorza doesn’t have my vote, and idc what anyone says 🤷🏽♀️ kinda new to Reddit so go ahead and dislike this comment? Idek what the arrows are for tbh

Lately I’ve also noticed this hatchback parking on backstreets and blasting music, turning their car alarm on and off, like they are begging for attention. Get a life, no one wants to hear your shitty rap while you vape with your friends on the sidewalk. Go to a club like an adult.

Reply to comment by ZeroKittyRose in Are there any apartment complexes that rent based on credit score rather than income verification? by ZeroKittyRose
Your best bet would probably be Airbnb. There’s plenty of them in PVD you could rent long term. Since you pay up front, they don’t care.

It's all understandable, but I guess I'm just trying to figure out if it's possible to move to another city and get a decent place without proof of income (and get a job once I'm in the actual city).

Nope. Trust me I’ve tried this as well. You need to prove you can pay 2-3x whatever the number is for that apartment is so they know they can hike up the rent in a few months and you’ll keep paying.

Pvd runs for a week. Boston for a month. That’s your price difference.

Boston is def more of an event and worth it esp if you are bringing kids. You can take the t tho? If you didn’t want to park downtown?
Kinda shocked Boston is cheaper but maybe it’s early enough in the run? I think the time commitment is probably more of a factor than gas money.

Wow, that’s shocking that Providence doesn’t have a live orchestra and is still so expensive! Definitely good to know.

PVD and Boston are both good, not great (as someone who lived in NYC…). Boston is good, but maybe not as good as you may expect from a city like Boston. There isn’t a huge talent gap between Bos and PVD.
The big difference is Boston has a live orchestra, PVD does not.

They are now! There’s one section of the site that says no new patients and another that says otherwise, so I was initially confused. However, I was finally able to get my cat in (about 2 months ago). Wonderful staff, so far so good.

I hate to break it to you but 4 wheelers are fun as hell in the snow.
