Reply to comment by AltruisticBowl4 in Oak Bakeshop on east side has opened! (more details in comments) by n0m_chompsky
There is an handful of threads about the owner being abrupt to a point of rude with customers, doxxed people that left bad reviews, a lot of stories from former employees about Little Sister and Rebelle, blaming everything but the shortcomings of the stores and just general questionable behaviour. Worth a read.

Cranston Animal Hospital in, well Cranston.
They’ve been great to me and my dog for the last 4 years.

Don’t listen to that guy, the area around Mt. Pleasant High is incredibly safe. It’s a quiet residential neighborhood, mostly single family houses. If you go down Chalkstone a bit toward downtown, it gets a little dicey, but even then it’s not one of the more dangerous parts of the city.

I actually really miss Rebelle. By far the best bagels in RI. I moved out of Providence right around the time that all of the drama started going down there. Bagel Ole and Providence Bagel are both good, but really not in the same ballpark as Rebelle.

Didn’t they fix up 195 4 or 5 years ago from 114 into Providence? I remember driving through it all the time. I thought they did the bridges and Gano st exit too. Oh and the linear park. Now I’m on the other side of the city dealing with 6/10 construction every day.

Dogs or cats? City kitty in providence for cats. Providence river animal hospital for dogs.

Yeah I wear them for all shows now. But nobody is as loud as J with his wall of Marshal amps!

Bubbie's deli & market have bagels on Fridays and Sundays. Also, their Reuben sandwich is top notch. The place is fully kosher.

I just checked Zillow for properties for sale SW of Mount Pleasant. If it’s anything next to or within a short walk of Triggs Golf Course you should be ok. That’s Chalkstone Ave. But, avoid Manton Ave, that’s a bit rough. Chalkstone is at the top of Mount Pleasant (hill) and Manton Ave is at the bottom of that hill.

Yes. I used to deliver pizza all around that area… there are a lot of good neighborhoods between woonasquatucket Ave and smith or Put it this way… that’s where I felt more comfortable with a pocket full of cash at the end of the night.

Thank you! I have to hop offline for a bit to commute home and run an errand, but I'll enable messaging later this evening and share the address. Really appreciate it!

Traffic will depend entirely on the street and time of day. Some are cut throughs, others are not.
As to noise I am a quarter mile from Lasalle(and also within a half mile of Mt Pleasant). I can here the public address announcer at Lasalle faintly if I am outdoors during a game.
If you want to message the address happen to share any insight I can provide.

Sure! Thanks for asking. Nearby cross streets are Ortoleva Drive, Imera Street, and Hillcrest Ave.
We were particularly worried about football games at night, so it's good to hear that they tend to finish up fairly early. We see there is a game tomorrow night, so we're planning to check the area out while it's going on.

Thanks for advice! The property we're looking at is to the southwest of the high school and stadium. It looks like Smith Street in North Providence would be northwest (if I'm plugging everything into Google Maps correctly). Appreciate it.

Are you willing to share the names of nearby streets? I ask because I live about a half mile away, and we hear more from RIC and LaSalle than Mount Pleasant.
In most cases, any sporting event noise is over fairly early and it's mostly announcements and cheering.

It’s not the best of areas. You’re better off sliding further down smith street closer to or in North Providence

I'm back after my commute and running an errand. Thank you! We're going to check it out in person tomorrow during the daytime and the evening. I really appreciate you saying this.
