I like the way they do it in other cities, where the license plate reader is on the police car and it alerts the officer in real time if there is a care that is stolen or wanted for an amber alert or whatever. Then at least it's just streamlining what information the officer can see from where he is and information he can look up from the database. With street mounted cameras you get the surveillance but nobody to act on it if it picks up a hit.

Is it still going to be made in New Bedford?

It's very easy to make your own, although you might be disgusted by how much sugar you need to use to get it close to the bottled stuff. I do 2:1(by volume) sugar to concentrated coffee and it ends up being a little less sweet than Autocrat and about the same as Dave's. (16.7g/oz)

And they have that Hanju kitchen working out of there that looks delicious. You’ve given me yet another reason to check out the Royal Bobcat

These are the battles I want to see in this sub! Silmo v. Autocrat.

My grandmother was a contracted educational advisor for the city of Providence about 3 years ago. She made a comprehensive plan that would allow Providence to properly evaluate the schools beyond just basic test scoring and finding metrics on the needs of individual students and teachers, and properly evaluating teacher performance. This plan would have been low cost and cause the firing of very few teachers, just the ones that really need to be. This would also be directly sent to the state and distributed to every other district. The Providence school district reviewed it and gave back incredible reviews saying it was nearly perfect and even the teacher’s union was ok with it. But after all that, that they wouldn’t be moving forward with it. Why? Well because they don’t really feel like it. Kids are graduating, so why make any changes?

Lol i appreciate you finding the silver lining here

It’s not about fixing anything. It’s about generating more revenue for the state and lining the pockets of corrupt politicians.

I'm not in favor of these Flock cameras. Not in the least. Just mentioned that because some person is saying you don't have to pay the tickets (there are no tickets; they are not speed cameras).

Sounds like somebody who never had Silmo.

Dave's makes the best coffee syrup, and its not close.

I think Red Door does jazz nights on Mondays. Their event calendar is listed on their site.

Yeah, Eclipse got bought by Autocrat and was never the same. I think Autocrat nerfed Eclipse on purpose, but they'd probably never admit it.

Never heard of it. I used to smack my lips on Eclipse. It sucks now.

Oh good to know! I got a couple things from there last weekend but didn’t get the chocolate chip cookie. I’ll def give it a try!

If you haven't, you gotta check out the cookies at Oak Bake Shop! They've officially unseated Feed The Cheeks as number one in my book.

Breweries:

1. Long Live Beerworks (as good as it gets)

2. Proclamation Ale Company (it's in Warwick, but it's so close to Providence)

3. Providence Brewing Company (which has solid beer and there's a Tallulah's taqueria location in the same building, which I chalk up to a major win)

Also: Coffee shops

1. Coffee Exchange

2. Dave's Coffee

3. White Electric

Any time Marty is playing, it's beyond worth it. A fabulous bass player.

Oh whew so the point is only mass surveillance by a private corporation. Glad we have nothing to worry about then.

How about fix the potholes first

This is a little ride but the Side Door in Old Lyme Ct is a jazz only club. Kind of equivalent level acts to Scullers or the old Regatta Bar in Cambridge. Providence does have jazz here or there, but not really a club that just has jazz, so throwing it out there. That being said, Royal Bobcat, Courtland Club, Nick a Nees as others mentioned.

I think the term “crowds” on Blackstone is a bit extreme haha

1. Steve Ahlquist
2. Bagel express
3. Sandwich hut
