That it’s not an island. Oh, wait…

Feigns surprise

Tollgate, too.

Drove by it on my way home tonight. At first I saw the channel 12 truck and cameras posted at the corner of the park, and thought something must have happened to Oak Bake Shop (which is freaking amazing BTW.) Then when I pulled up to the stop and saw the cowards in their face masks, I knew what was up.

EDIT: Good to see the crowd was on the right side of things. Still, if you need to wear a face mask, my comment stands.

I’ve noticed what seems like a big uptick in the number of cars with NY plates driving around lately.

Maine for me, but same.

The consistent full send of police, fire, and ambulance for every call is my biggest complaint. 4 years in PVD has had more sirens than 15 years in Boston.

Someone needs to make a PVD remix of Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.

I lived in the same Boston neighborhood as the first Bintimani. Then saw they moved to a different neighborhood with a more diverse population, which made sense. Then Boston prices skyrocketed and they, like we, decide to pack up and move to Providence.

Since then, I can’t believe they haven’t had a single chance to open a physical location. I can’t see how, if it’s a grift, it’s working, but man I can’t see them opening anything ever.

Colonization pour la victoire!

Sauce, please.

Thanks for this. I’d expect if, say whenever you need to re-side your house, you add some “outsulation” (exterior insulation), that $145/mo will drop considerably.

We live in a three family that was gut remodeled before we moved in back in 2019, so it has decent insulation. Plus the upstairs and downstairs neighbors sharing what physics insists they must. And my wife loves to cook, so the stove or oven is running at least a few minutes every day, and that releases ambient heat.

We still haven’t turned our heat on. We both run warm, and the temps in our place haven’t gone below the low- to mid-60s. Once it hits 59, I call it and turn the heat on, though. No need to be uncomfortable.

The Shop on Wickenden is nice, but small. Seven Stars Bakery has a few locations in Providence, and all have some space to work.

I have dreams about their cinnamon rolls.

They offer Jerusalem bagels, which sound hella Jewish, but not sure if that’s what OP is after.

You can’t cut your own, but Mike’s Tree Farm on Pippin Orchard Rd in Cranston’s prices haven’t changed: ($70 for a 7’, $80 for 8’, etc.)

I rent on the East Side after living in Boston for 15 years. Both neighbors above and below me are on multiyear fellowships at local hospitals. It’s city living, for sure, but there are tons of young families around. There’s a tot lot on Morris that seems pretty perfect for the wee ones.

This is the way.

Oof, not great. I noticed the Hopkinton one was out of order last weekend on my way back from Mystic. Luckily I had enough to make it back to Providence without too much worry.
