You get what you pay for. It’s quality stuff.

If by these conditions you mean very little snow and warm (above freezing) temps then yes.

(Obligatory moment of silence for Benny’s!)

"No one lives nearby" seems a bit odd since it's spitting distance of Duncan/Cypress/Abbott etc. What a terrible waste of space. There's literally a huge storage complex over by the Post Office.

Ah yes the fuck your feelings crowd is telling everyone not to care. Noted.

Last time we went was before Covid so that makes sense / didn’t realize it was a package deal so to speak.

What when did el rancho grande close?

Not east providence - east side OF providence (fox point college hill and hope street etc) You’ll see a lot more come online in the next month (see previous mention re med students). Grad students come in waves and the medical crowd picks stuff up first bc of needing to be here june / by July so most east side landlords time their places to have start dates to accommodate bc it means tenants that stick around for multiple years and are never home bc they are always at work and have a funding letter from brown / the hospitals (you get the idea). PhDs look for July and august and then the inventory drops again (at least on the East side). There’s an agency on Hope - I’m blanking on the name but it’s a local firm that has a lot of listings near the cvs / then check residential properties listings and Mott and chace and then keep an eye on Craigslist. Brokers don’t really matter re rentals here (even in Boston they just handle photos showings and paperwork the landlord decides in the end). Just find the listings you like. And yes inventory in fall and winter is low. Be wary of places that are sitting - there’s a certain listing on the east side that has a psycho landlord that Mott and chace has the listing for - been sitting since October for a reason. And yes that month that you pay in Boston is charged to the landlord here in providence NOt the potential tenant. Hence fewer listings by agents! I mean you still have to do a months security but not a broker fee on top of it. Also ri state law caps security deposits at one month (but security deposits don’t have to be in an interest bearing account saved for you so you don’t get that interest).

Posting for no reason…… Iowa v Indiana today #wbb

Which means by Monday night it’ll be downgraded to half that? Will believe it when i see it (and no school is actually called).

In some locales (ie nyc) prospective tenants pay the broker fee / in RI the landlord does. So it’s free for folks looking to use realtors here / asking for a specific agent in the case of renting doesn’t really mean anything since the deal is what it is. I’d look at the inventory at basically all the local firms in that case since it’s not going to cost you anything. And listings aren’t shared / private either so I’d go off of the place you want rather than the realtor since they won’t be showing you multiple places they way they would with buying. Also if you are looking in PVD look on Craigslist for the small landlords who don’t want to pay a fee so advertise there instead. (Not sure about other towns but many / most east side landlords just throw things up on Craigslist. Zillow is a mess. ) Keep in mind the incoming med students and residents are about to swoop in (march) to get the June 1/July 1 places so I wouldn’t wait too long if you want east side. But calling a realtor about a place doesn’t involve a brokers fee a la NYC that’s really the point. So you shouldn’t worry about using one. Where are you coming from?

Seen too many trump signs on the way to the beach for me to agree with that…..

Renting or buying? Either way you aren’t paying the fee so there’s that. I’d be wary of anyone doing dual agency (rep’ing a house and offering to be your buyer agent to boot). Kevin Fox tried to undersell my neighbors house last year so stay away. Residential properties and Sothebys mott and chace have the most boots on the ground in terms of brokerages. Don’t redfin. They tend to not pay close attention to mls listings and offer deadlines or respect posted viewing hours and when they do book showings tend to not show up so many realtors don’t take them seriously. And get pre approved asap.

Their food used to be better / staff obviously changed since this time last year so quality has def shifted. Knowing more now about the vibe it explains why everyone left!

Any of those places make aloo dum? It was a dish you could get in nyc pretty easily but I haven’t seen any RI places make it (guessing it’s a regional dish?).

Because it’s wicked fah in Rhode Island.

Rockstar.

Except this is the case across the board in the NCAA (with the exception of home games for say South Carolina or whomever is the #1 wbb team), not specific to PC. It's never about rank, it's about thinking that women's games aren't worth it. examples.... in any case, it's a cheaper ticket, you'll be closer to the action and it's more of a team sport instead of hot shots trying to get to the NBA before graduation. If your daughter wants to learn more about how a team plays, go to a women's game (NCAA or WNBA). URI women are also really fun to watch this season.

Because not as high profile as overblown men’s games? General sentiment that women’s sports aren’t as “good” etc etc. but totally worth it!

Go to a women’s friars game not a men’s game .Always cheaper. Mondays game tickets are 8-10 bucks.

Because the house they bought for 96k in 1982 is now worth 1.4m bc of being Ivy adjacent so f u and yours basically? And is mortgage free and probably renting to students so printing money.

Historic character of the citizens bank across the street? Total pearl clutching.

That’s the take away here? Sub your fave suburb with trumpy / gadsen / blue lives matter vibes then.

One side parking all over the east side would be an improvement. (Not literal entire east side but strategic use of it. Ie Ives. Between wheeler and the brown gym. Many side streets around rochambeau).

Guess what - if I find out they are they don’t get my money anymore. It’s that easy.
