The commuter rail is okay for an occasional use (I'd even say 2-3 times a week), but given there's one train per hour, and it over an hour of travel, and it's like 7$ each way, yeah I wouldn't commute to Boston.

Pretty much everywhere closer along the commuter rail has inflated massively wrt price. North Attleboro is po dunk boring but just being rail accessible has shot their real estate sky high

Reply to Best places to study downtown? by springwaterh20
It’s not exactly downtown, but you can always request to use any of the community rooms at Community Libraries of Providence. Keep in mind, this is for Community Libraries of Providence and not Providence Public Library, we are different libraries. We have 9 libraries and PPL only has the downtown library.
https://www.communitylibrariespvd.org/request_room
We are also working on buying individual study pods at one of our libraries. They are the size of an old school telephone booth and will have sound proofing to let individuals study. This is unannounce, but we’ll be adding them at one library and if all goes well, we will try to expand them to other libraries.
At South Providence, we have a few tables where people can study. But we have an open layout and sound can travel. People who do come to study often bring noise canceling headphones or they request our community room. On the upside, we have a k-cup brewer and can make hot chocolate or coffee for $1, which covers the cost of coffee and the cup. We also have notaries if you need something notarized and a fax machine.

If you’re near the train station the cafe there has good bagels. They go pretty fast though

Reply to Stopped attempted break in at my apartment building. (Near Cranston St. Armory) by BennieWilliams
Yup…. My son’s place on Willow St was broken into in the middle of the nice while he was sleeping. This was a few years ago though…

Bagel Gourmet is the only place I get bagels in Providence. I became super picky after living in NYC and these bagels are the only ones that come close. I wanted to love Bubbies but they are an oversized white bread bland type of bagel- meh. Providence bagels have also been a similar disappointment.

That's good. It always gave me major claustrophobia is there and I'm not even a claustrophobic person.

A former employee had set up a camera in the bathroom a decade or so ago.

Small Point! Great vibes inside for studying and good food/coffee for when you need a break.

That dude worked there for YEARS before he got caught. He was considered "a good employee" prior to getting caught.
Sometimes, a thing is bad enough where it's "one strike and you're out" and allowing this to happen for god knows how long is on that list for me.

Maybe shame the person who did it, not the business/owner who lives with the embarrassment and would never condone that activity.

Attleboro has gotten nonsensically expensive because of the commuter rail
