True.

He is a jerk. He was acquitted. Whether that decision is fair or reasonable or even defensible is debatable. What's not debatable is that an employee who was suspended without pay and later cleared of any wrongdoing gets back pay. Period.

They have both hairdressers and barbers, so I'd say yes.

L'Amour Salon on Broad is a great Dominican hair salon that is very inclusive. They know curly hair and they also have at least one LGBTQ hair professional/barber.

It's a much easier commute than Boston.

This is the mother of all globes. Plus, it's super fun to see how seriously the church takes itself despite being founded by a random Boston woman after slipping on ice, hitting her head, and having a revelation.

If you enjoy rich cultural diversity and don't mind the occasional instance of loud music and dirt bikes zooming by in the summer, Elmwood is a fabulous option. It's a predominantly Dominican working class neighborhood with significant Black, Southeast Asian, and White professional presence. It's bookended by Broad and Elmwood, which are busy, lively, and noisy thoroughfares. If you prefer a quieter setting, look west of Cranston Street in the Armory District. Still urban, still diverse, but much more gentrified and expensive. All have great access to a not so great public transit system. Providence is a very safe, walkable city, with the usual property crime (don't leave your car unlocked or valuables on the front seat) that you can expect in a city that continues to grapple with persistent poverty.

Reply to Rent to Own programs by Rickdemption
If you would like to buy a home in RI and may not be in the best position to grab traditional financing, check out the state*s new homeowner program. Rent to Own sucks for TVs and sofas, and it sucks for homes, especially.

Reply to Why does Rhode Island College have such a negative reputation? Is it that bad? by PinkSwallowLove
They don't have a negative reputation, just a very bland brand. Lack of imaginative leadership, limited funding, and being stuck in URIs shadow adds to the challenges.

Every converted mill building and modern apartment building has ramps and elevators and generally good with Ada compliance. Apartments in multifamily homes will most likely not have any of these things unless that is explicitly stated.

Reply to comment by Prota_Gonist in Former Providence mayor has interest in purchasing Columbus statue by Previous_Floor
No one is recasting him as a hero today. That was done by Italian Americans a lifetime ago and it was an effective strategy. Modern Americans have a much broader understanding of history and humanity than was commonly available back then. That was then, this is now.

He didn't come up with this idea. The Italian American Anti Defamation League started a national Columbus campaign nearly a hundred years ago. Back then, Italians weren't considered white and were discriminated against across the nation. Someone decided that pitching Columbus as a white explorer who discovered these lands would help bigots embrace Italians. It kind of worked. But that was then and this is now.

Reply to Woonsocket 411 by Comfortable-Dog-4333
Take some time this weekend to drive through the city. The contrast between neighborhoods is stark and obvious. Woony has some run down neighborhoods that reflect pervasive poverty, and some leafy beautiful neighborhoods with magnificent homes, mostly bordering the surrounding suburbs, and some nice neighborhoods in between. It won't take you very long to figure out where you might want to own. North Providence will be more expensive for a comparable home, as it is basically an extension of the overheated Providence housing market due to its immediate proximity.

I love how he was universally known as the R Rated hypnotist. Today, he would be known as the guy who got canceled in about 90 seconds. Seasons change. He was an excellent performer and very much of his time.

Ummm, airplane tech has advanced by leaps and bounds. Most of the planes that fly into Greene are relatively new and way quieter than anything people experienced a decade ago. Best bet is to go sit in your car over there and listen.
