I may have seen that too! I was driving home pretty much same time and saw it out my left window. I thought maybe it was a reflection the glass from a streetlight, but could none of the other street lights I passed did the same thing.

Even longer now that electricity price hikes are driving more solar demand. I’m still waffling on the install price vs how long I think I’ll be living in RI.

Didn’t they fix up 195 4 or 5 years ago from 114 into Providence? I remember driving through it all the time. I thought they did the bridges and Gano st exit too. Oh and the linear park. Now I’m on the other side of the city dealing with 6/10 construction every day.

Before I moved here I stayed in Seekonk a lot and worked downtown. It’s a short and easy drive. Maybe too cold now, but in the fall my nephews were in town wanted a “tour” so I parked near the pedestrian bridge and we took scooters around. It’s really not too hard to park downtown and walk wherever. You may need to park downtown and do your thing, then maybe move the car up to Federal Hill if your going there too.

The downvotes you’re getting are unfair. This is a good option if one doesn’t mind driving in the city and if you have several people going.

Our neighbors did a few weeks ago. All around, TV, radio, stores, everywhere it seems like Christmas season is much earlier this year. Crap, I even bought a bunch of decorations at TJ max today for the house, something I’ve never done before…

I think only a Google or Facebook algorithm or maybe the NSA knows who the best candidate is. Definitely not any of us humans.

Not really, the energy industry is not investing capital because they got burned pre Covid going into Covid. Remember how we were out pumping everyone? The Saudis weren’t backing down either. Huge world oil glut then shutdowns happened. They took a short term beating. In this past year they have been making record profits. Do you think there is any incentive for them to pump more? Drill more? Produce more? Basically put out more money which drives the price down. Everyone paints the red vs blue picture, but it’s rich vs poor, power vs powerless. You’ve watched too much right wing tv and viewed too many memes and are now one of the brainwashed. Read some oil industry bulletin boards, or some business related articles on oil industry to gain an actual real understanding.

Thanks for replying. I didn’t think it would be so tough being near Johnston and Cranston. We’ll just have to wait til we go back to Utica.

We’ll yeah. I’m all for having nice things but let’s just take the URI question. That’s $100 from every person in the state. Doesn’t seem like much until you realize that kids and babies and people that don’t work and many others are not chipping in. Then the interest on top of that.
The questions should be how was it allowed to get to such a state of decay and what ways can that be prevented or alleviated in the future.
I’m kind of new to RI but it seems similar to the road and bridge situation. They let them rot until they are backed into a corner and for the past few years they started fixing everything in a hurry. Large sums of money spent quickly lead to waste and shoddy work.

Good deal! I live on a new (3 years old) street and they never ran phone lines. Verizon stops at the end of the block :-(

$50 for 250 down/ 10 up with Cox. Works for me. Although you have to redo your deal once it expires. I had to do the same back in NY with Spectrum.

Reply to parking lots and hours by YoureInMyWaySir
You can probably find street parking near the arcade if your there just for a little while. While you’re there rooftop at providence G is nearby, G Pub (not sure if your out getting drinks,etc. ) If you want to take a little walk and people watch I think there is roller disco outside across the street from the Graduate (formerly Biltmore, you’ll see the sign) There’s a beer garden there too. They used to have a comedian on Friday’s, not sure if that’s still going on this late in the season.
If you walk in the opposite down the river the pedestrian bridge is pretty.

In Johnston we have a separate truck for recyclables. But the green waste goes in the garbage truck. So I guess my leaf bags and sticks are getting sorted to compost??
Work downtown in an office bldg. There are dumpsters for cardboard. Everything else is garbage, no recyclables. And since bags go in the dumpster there’s no sorting that.

Yeah I’d did some googling after I sent the reply. I guess if in fact the row of bushes was planted there 30 years ago by them then it’s their property. That’s totally messed up.
What part of the home buying process would cover that? Getting a survey? I guess people skip that if they think the area has been “stable” for a number of years.
