That could work. I think the litmus test should be "would you talk to someone about this in person for more than like 10 seconds"

Like, I could see myself sit at a bar, look at my phone, and say "hm, someone got stabbed downtown (or wherever this is)" but I really don't get what else there would be to say.

The fact that this is just an alt for Material-Fabulous doing the same shit everyone hated, but without using GoLocalProv is also part of why I'm bringing this up

I don’t understand this point. Reddit is a large news source, this was posted on the correct subreddit, and it’s important information. Not to mention this subreddit isn’t very lively. This isn’t fear mongering or a petty crime. I was glad to see this article posted because I am often in that area at night.

Reply to Are there any bars/cafes in providence (or surrounding area) where its acceptable to play late night board games? by eqdiag

Basically any Irish pub is built to cater to groups of people lingering at their tables for an entire night. That's kind of the whole point of a pub. Just make sure you're giving them some decent business, and not sipping a single drink over the course of 6 hours.

Personally, I go to Murphys Law in Pawtucket to play games a lot.

Open until 1am every day, cheap drinks and decent food.

Can get loud on Friday & Saturday nights, but you can still get a booth in the back that's isolated from the party crowd.

Yep, definitely had that happen too. Like someone else said, someone could be complaining or it could be they just randomly got a few hits on one street and decided to come back and see if people were playing the odds.

If this was the last 2 nights, I'd expect them again tonight.

Ehh....you either got a new parking enforcement going after your area or having someone playing neighborhood watch. Probably wise to move your car around a bit for the next week to see which one it is.

Parking enforcement seems like it rotates through neighborhoods in phases. Like they focus on one area for a few weeks then move on to another area. Also the fairly new license plate scanning system means they can process a lot more cars per night.

On some level the parking enforcement is a little random, but I think when they're able to tag a bunch of cars on the same block, they're probably going to make a point to go back to the same streeet/block.

Also possible, there's people living there complaining. I parked on the street for months with no problem in front of my first apartment and on the flip side, every time I went to one friend's house and parked on his street every single time.
