what is with some of the people that post in here that chime in with their unhelpful information? it happens nearly every day, twice so far this morning. someone comes in here asking “hey where can i do X in providence?” and a handful of comments will be like “you should go to this place in warwick/cranston/east greenwich/etc”. if someone lives in the city and wants to have something done in the city, why would you send them elsewhere?
edit (maybe half an hour after the original post): a lot of comments are saying that because something is a short drive from providence it is a valid suggestion, which presupposes that the person asking for advice has a car or a means to get outside the city. if this is supposed to be a community for the city, it should be a reasonable expectation that you can get advice that is specific to the city.

They are giving options, considering how quickly it is to get to certain places. The poster can always just ignore and keep it moving...you also have that option.
