I’m from MA right over the RI border.

We loved them both equally, but I think Village Haven felt fancier because it was less crowded and they have the cinnamon buns there. My Uncle and his ex wife had their wedding reception there.

With that said, my sister had her wedding reception at Wrights and my Senior Prom Committee (I was on it) chose to have our prom at Wright’s because we all went often.

TLDR: Love them both

I genuinely always wonder why we don’t use funding to create jobs to do things like this regularly.

Eye Buy Direct is an online wholesale distributor.

Use Eye Buy Direct. You input your own vision prescription details. They’re super affordable and good quality, and often have good sales.

Nailed it.

Progressive Insurance is hiring multiple roles. It’s not the best job mentally and can be stressful but it does pay well.

Little known fact but Enterprise can pick you up if you aren’t too far and bring you to their branch. Not sure what you need the rental for but figured I’d share to maybe save you an Uber trip.

There’s an alarm that has gone off near the elementary school in Fox Point twice this week around 530am. I think it’s the building they’re doing construction on, but it goes off for 10-20 minutes straight.

Is there, though? Because that’s literally why people ride in the streets.

Agreed. Last year was so busy that I spent more time waiting in line for things than anything. I can’t even imagine it with more people.

Reach out to the councilperson in that Ward. I think it might be Sue Anderbois. She can definitely point you in the right direction.

This feels like foreshadowing and feels like PVDFest is gonna be lame. The first couple were so good and it’s just been less enjoyable every year.

I don’t know a single person who is calling for more affordable housing that was okay with the stadium being publicly funded.

The mall needs more cool shit like this

The check was the deposit. I gave it before officially signing the lease, and they confirmed it would be returned if I didn’t take the unit after all. I live in a newer building with high demand on the East Side, and it was to hold my place until all the docs were signed. Then first month was due before move in day.

I had to do this with Samson as well. Also felt weird to me, but I’ve been here for almost a year and haven’t had any issues.

Check out Frog and Toad, The Matchbox or Stock in Providence for some unique finds.

I’d also recommend locally roasted coffee like New Harvest, Borealis, Bolt, etc or beer from a local brewery like Proclamation or Moniker. ISCO spirits would be good too.

Plum Point Bistro on Boston Neck Rd is one of my favorite restaurants in RI in general.

I also really like Alma Juice Bar & Market in Wickford for breakfast/lunch too.

Real talk though, why can nothing ever stay in that little plaza?

And Noodles 102 in Fox Point

I had a bomb mocktail at ISCO last summer.
