Boo hoo I don't give a shit about parking spaces. Bike path is infinitely healthier for the city and more sustainable. Cars do jack shit to support the city as a social space. They're geometrically inefficient, take up tons of fucking space (Notice how you didn't mention how hundreds of parking spaces take up tons of square footage that could be used for literally anything more important?), are alienating as hell, and as the infrastructure grows to support more cars, it supports less people. Bike paths are the exact opposite of this. They're a massively social activity, is much cheaper to get into, is inherently healthy for the individual, takes up far less space than giant fucking cars, and, yknow, can't have high speed collisions or threaten high speed collisions against normal ass people walking around the city. Fuck cars

If your at the top of federal hill, Camilles rents parking spots for $50 a month!

I’ve also lived on federal hill for 2 years, have parked on the street the whole time and have only been ticketed 4 times 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yup, jumping on board this recommendation here. They even offer stronger sedation than nitrous, if your anxiety is that severe (not free, but depending on discomfort levels it’s worth it for some people!). Everyone I’ve seen here has been incredibly friendly and soothing, very respectful of people who are uncomfortable at the dentist and they make every effort to make it as comfortable as possible.

I enjoy anywhere anyone else would like to go, is it inappropriate that I asked to be respected as a human in those spaces…? Maybe instead of you telling me I should be more like those undesirable humans that have turned me away from wanting to hang out in open public places due to their bad behavior?

Actually I’ve enjoyed myself quite a bit since my last art project turned into men over 60 with mob mentality AnyWho been living on and off the hill the past 15 years I was just agreeing that DiPasquale is overtaken by the restaurants a common agreement among other people here… is there any reason you’re not asking them to leave the hill 😂😂😂

What I’m trying to say is depasquale square as-is is pretty unique. we don’t have many other places in providence that are like it: car-free, diverse in terms of race/age/class, walkable to other fun stuff. The bars and restaurants are a big part of the vibe (not even taking account the tax revenue, jobs, etc.) and I think they should be encouraged.

On the other hand, we as a city are blessed with a TON of publicly available green space, fed hill included. There is something for everyone, but fed hill has a specific character.

If you didn’t like the bocci park because it’s full of fed hill people, you prob won’t like another park full of the same fed hill people.

I don’t get my nails done a lot but I do like Hera Nails in Warwick. It’s clean and they include a back rub lol plus Trader Joe’s is next door.

You can barely even cut through the plaza to get to the other side! I wish there was less outdoor seating and maybe just more public tables and places to sit! There’s so many places that you can grab food/snacks from that don’t have any real seating. It’d be nice to make it back to a public space!
