Porn flix kept that place from being turned into a parking lot. Then the web killed porn theaters and the owner leased it to the people who run it now. Happy ending!

I don't know, man. When I was a kid with a new driver's license flying down 95 at 100mph in an old shit box, it's dumb luck that I didn't kill myself or my friends riding along. We've all done incredibly dumb things in our lives. Most of us have just been lucky to survive unscathed.

Yes, I am an ignorant fuck and I also have a younger cousin who is one of those kids riding around on ATVs in the city. He and his friends would tell you, Oh Enlightened One, that if you built them a state of the art facility they would use it a few times and still continue to ride on the street because that's where the excitement is.

The whole point of riding an unregistered, illegal bike on the street is the fact that you're not supposed to be on the street. Why would you want to go to some track where no one will see you? And how are you going to get there? Are you going to load your bike on a trailer that's pulled by your $75k SUV and unload it there? I don't think so.

Hey, many of us agree that these dirt bikes and ATVs are trash, but two young adults are dead. Plus, some random woman who did nothing wrong has to spend the rest of her life coming to terms with having been involved in two people's death. This isn't the time to be cheering or celebrating anything.

Usually, the HOA only cares about structural or systems (electrical/plumbing) work and that's because if you screw something up, it can absolutely impact your neighbors. If you screw up some drywall, only you have to live with the horror of looking at it.

I don't know. I've been to a couple of events there and there's something unwelcoming about having to park a quarter mile away if there's no valet on duty, and then having to take an elevator down two levels underground.

Lack of revenue. EGO is a business, after all. It's all about the $$.

Skyline is just the latest in a long list of operators who have lost their shirts at that location. For whatever reason, no one has made a penny there in decades.

If you are OK commuting a little, Electric Boar has a shop in Quonset and another just over the line in Connecticut. They're always hiring entry level people to train, begin around $22 an hour, and have great benefits.

Many places are. If you've ever worked in a restaurant kitchen, you'd know that a mid to high volume restaurant will grind to a halt pretty quickly without a decent dishwasher or two. In the current labor market, that means paying people $20 to keep them from going to be elsewhere.

This state is small. We're all Rhode Islanders. There are no Cranstonians or Pawtucketucks, or Woonsockites.

Maybe leaving out the part about being married five times would make your story a little more beneficial to the OP. Your friend is broken, and it's only a matter of time before Chanel No. 5 figures this out, too. Classes are great, though. None of the performance anxiety that comes with the club / bar scene. Go. For. It!
Edit: Down vote all you want but it's true. To paraphrase the old trueism: "Marry an asshole and, well, you married an asshole. Marry four assholes? you're the asshole."

Reply to Kitchens in basements by jt_tesla
When I was a kid, many of my Portuguese friends' homes had essentially a working kitchen and family room in the basement. The kitchen, living room and dining room on the main level featured glistening appliances, furniture and decorations, and were reserved for when special guests came over. Otherwise, family life took place in the basement.

Throw in the $20 it costs to park in the garage across the street and you should have no problem finding a good local photographer.

If you're not willing to pay at least $200 for an hour of photography, find a friend with a new iPhone instead of insulting a professional.

There are nine times more people in NJ that there are in RI. If density were the deciding factor, Central Falls would have its own transit system by now.

Reply to Thoughts? by United_Perception299
At a cost of $150-200 million dollars per mile, on average, it's safe to say that RI does not have the density to justify building any kind of light rail for the foreseeable future. Shit, we can't even convince our leaders to underwrite free RIPTA, which would be like 35 million a year and literally change people's lives.

That spot is a four-point intersection where Upper South Providence, Elmwood and the West End technically meet. It's not exactly in the West End.
