Sorry, I didn't see the "East Providence or Pawtucket" earlier.

Riff Raff.

Oh wow... I signed up for 1440 a couple of months ago, but never knew one of the founders was a local. So young... This sucks. :/

The Patio is moving in there - they have signs up in the windows looking to hire.

No clue. Gym rats, what can you do? ;)

Yeah, same here; I was a member at the Y before moving to the area, but decided to give Planet Fitness a try, and I am really liking it.

They have machines AND free weights, btw.

...but there are barbells at Planet Fitness.

I think Mutter is playing this week at Mayday - will definitely check them out, thanks!

I've now tried to go to Tea in Sahara three times and they are never open, but someday!

Definite favs of mine as well - trying to break out of that routine and try something new, like going outside for a change.

I've been busy both with work and life in general as of late and haven't been able to keep up with local news like I would like, so I admit I am not as knowledgeable about the whole situation as I would like... But does this also play into the VA hospital on Chalkstone Ave expanding their fencing further into Davis Park so that it now runs through what used to be the homeless camp that was located on top of the hill at the corner of Pleasant Valley Pkwy (Raymond St) and Valley St?

I was floored when I saw them putting that new fence up the hill and what appears to be through the middle of where that camp is. That camp was the perfect place - not visible from the street(s) so no one would bitch about it being there AND secluded from any assholes who may have wanted to mess with them, yet central enough that anyone staying there still had access to the local area/public transit.

I was going to recommend Riff Raff as well - great little independent bookstore with a café & bar (description for OP, not you u/spicysnake333 heh).

I love it! Great work! I hope you post more. :)
