Pull up Google maps and try: “garden center” “Christmas tree farm” “Home Depot” “Lowes” “Whole Foods” “Stop N Shop”
Don’t use ask Jeeves.

Reply to comment by BOKEH_BALLS in Any good soul food spots or good food in general in Providence? Are there any low-cost activities that you recommend as well? by lovesocialmedia
Yeah Kin was super disappointing - I was really excited to try it out (not many southern-type restaurants in PVD) but it was really mediocre and overpriced. My spouse grew up in the south and loves this type of food, but was also completely let down.

I swim too! Well I haven’t joined one here yet but back in Ohio I swam regularly. If you don’t mind my asking which gym/pool did you choose? I’ve been looking. DM if you’d rather not put it out for the world to see if you’d rather.
Also I’m sorry about the weather! I can’t imagine being used to a 70 winter and then dealing with this.

I’m 31F and in a similar boat of trying to just get out there but now that it’s winter it’s extra difficult to get out there. Still need to join a gym though so maybe that will help.

Super Fun Activities Club! Casual IM sports all over the city. We play soccer in Pawtucket with friends from my wife’s work, but we’ve made some more friends who had just joined up as well! There are games downtown, in Warwick, Pawtucket and maybe some other spots too. They play different sports year round, so see if anything catches your eye, and fits your schedule.

I should check out the new one! Is it crazy busy? I could go weekday mornings.

That's where I've always gotten it in the past, but I haven't seen it in the past month or so. I don't think I've ever seen it at the Johnston store. Hence the question...
I'll check again. Maybe it was a holiday thing.

Ironically, I joined Urban Greens long ago, to support local. I haven't been in a long while. I'll definitely check it out!

Oh, how fun! I didn’t know they allowed dogs, but I love it. People have encouraged me to go there, partly because they are much more generous with their ratings, so they feel like better climbers :) it may help if they still don’t have autobelays… that probably makes people more sociable.

I recently went to Central Rock in Warwick on a Friday night, it was hopping with a lot of young folk that were eager to chat. It also helped that it's dog-friendly so I could bring mine along and trick more people to coming over and talking to me =)
