It was always 7:10 AM.

It’s probably a loss leader. In essence, each $0.99 coffee is sold at a loss to attract customers, in hopes of them buying other things to make up the difference (usually other food items, snacks, sometimes gasoline)

You can take either the Northeast Regional or the Acela straight from Providence, or if you’re willing to cheap out a little, you can drive out to Kingston (near URI) and get the Regional from there.

Or if you’re that much a penny pincher with train fares, take the Shore Line East out of either New London or Old Saybrook, then transfer to Metro-North at New Haven Union.

Nah. No more humidity

Ah Wickford…

Alright for railfanning, but a crap station for any real use. It could’ve been a good station but nah, instead Lincoln Chafee signed off on what, quite literally, is a boondoggle where RIPTA is faster - despite URI being a few miles south. At least it seems they learned with the new station in Pawtucket though.

I feel like if a second platform was built and electrified and if the Shore Line East was extended out here (assuming the Westerly extension happens and ends well) it’d probably help with ridership significantly.

I moved here a year or so ago, so here’s what I’ve learned:

• LA Cafe is probably the seediest place in the whole town. But, even then, use common sense and you’ll be good. (yes I live near here, yes I’ve seen my fair share of first responders, and no I haven’t felt too unsafe even at 9:45pm getting off the bus)

• It’s not necessarily bad so to speak, but it’s still an old mill town that’s seen better days (much like Woonsocket).

• If you’re expecting to use transit quite a bit, you’ll most likely want to stay around Arctic, as that’s where all the local routes meet (the express to Providence, and the locals to Woodland Apts. and Centre of New England, and to CCRI)

• Piggybacking off the last point, if you’re looking for anything remotely walkable, I’d suggest staying around Arctic.

• Lastly, be ready to run into a few nutjobs. Not the drug addict type, but rather the conspiracy theorist type. They’re few and far between (thank goodness), but I’ve met a few.

While McKee is an awful candidate, I don’t see a reason to vote for a woman who carpetbagged just for the sake of holding office. Moreso if they don’t have any level of an actual game plan.

Where the hell is Bob Healey when you need him to run again?
