I didn’t put it together til I was eating pizza, lol’d and said to no one “oh thooose are the $3k 1/1 apartments lol gtfo” We all know what a new TJs means for an area, good and bad. I’d be bummed if I had an affordable long term rental in walking distance; might eat brownie bites in the meantime, but I’d be paranoid about getting bounced soon

Hiya neighbor 👋

Next time you're meandering around Wickenden, take East St (it intersects Wickenden up toward the Governor end) and park and walk over 195 on the pedestrian bridge (great view from there of the Port of Providence) and down into India Point Park, which is bounded by the Providence River on one side and the Seekonk River on the other.

There is graffitti in the park. My favorite is on a small boulder along the water that has just the word "Loss" in blue drippy letters. It's pensive.

You can access one of the local breweries there at the edge of the park. Or hike on over to explore the tiny eateries and bars on Ives St (but hit it Wed-Sun; some are closed Mon-Tu). It's very spill onto-the-sidewalks in season and has a lowkey lively feel. That will no doubt go away come winter.

Glad you enjoy Providence. So do I 🤝
