I would go to the RISD website and look at the academic schedule. It should list last class/final crit and possibly move out dates for the freshmen.

I’ve gotten Laguna delivered from The Ceramic Shop online …

you could, maybe pick up some Laguna from Anyhow Studio or The Steel Yard in PVD. One has 55, one has 66. I don’t know if they will sell if you are not in class or a member but again, you can give them a call.

The only store that might sell in RI is the Metcalf store on the RISD campus but I am unsure if they are open to the public, if they have clay in store or if the ceramic department handles that for their students directly. You could give them a call.

I will also say that I put in an order w Sheffield last week and it came fairly quickly. I’ve ordered in the past from The Ceramic Shop and it took a bit of time to receive that package.

Your best bets locally are Portland Pottery in Braintree MA or Sheffield Pottery in Sheffield MA. You can order Sheffield online.

Anchor Steam Tattoo in Newport

I took some beginning ASL classes w the American Sign Language Academy … they were in Pawtucket but I think may be in Cranston now.

Providence Optical downtown has eye exams for sixty dollars.

Seconded. I’ve been to Nicks at various parts of the winter and the outdoor seating is super comfortable. Great drinks. Great food. Excellent staff.

I laughed a little at this comment only bc I was at the city hall hearings when the Fane Co were arguing for the permits for the build/build height. So many people representing the historical society and various neighborhood orgs would start their statements with “I’ve got nothing against tall buildings …. “ “I love tall buildings, but … “

It seemed a bit tricky to testify against the group of construction workers who wanted jobs and definitely needed jobs(tho wanting a short term job building something for the sake of its tallness). But yah, this building makes no sense in Providence and there has to be better solutions to work stability for the construction sector than ego building.

seconded. I love it there.

Lindsay Thibeault at RISPCA Animal Clinic

was about to post the same thing.

I go to Lindsay Thibeault at RISPCA’s animal clinic. I’ve been with her forever and have followed her from when she was on Gano St to when she ran a mobile vet service. She’s very kind, enthusiastic and makes working with her clients her first priority. She’s always been mindful of finances/cost, and great in receiving and answering questions.

it almost feels like a venture capitalist/Blackrock cold call to see where their minions can start calling and texting homeowners

it is going to be … A Shit Show.

I high key hope for the same thing.

what da fuck.

It’s ragweed season … it’s brutal this year, more so than other years. At least that has been my issue for a bit.

Bywater in Warren

seconded

Craftland, hands down.

Ol Holey

Seriously … this is a much larger issue than people who hate bike lanes and want to use that as some sort of abstract issue that takes away from taking care of the unhoused in the state.

I’ve always just gotten an air bnb/hotel room bc there are no real options. It’s not great.

Hahaha. Yes.
