Just curious, what did you expect and what’s been the reality?

We have a list of amazing restaurants! And I have a list of places that have a wall of calendars and fliers that have so much going on!

If you want them let me know and I can message you directly. There’s so much going on right now between markets, art shows, concerts, talks etc.

Girl I understand completely, I was also completely disappointed with Providence after moving here. But I am starting to like it now after 3 years, despite the fact I haven’t made a single friend!

To be honest, I just like it because I’m comfortable here now. But honestly the food sucks, the people aren’t very friendly or intellectual, the construction everywhere is unsightly, practically no interesting events ever happen here. Just typing this out is making me realize I should probably think about moving lol!

I’m 31F and in a similar boat of trying to just get out there but now that it’s winter it’s extra difficult to get out there. Still need to join a gym though so maybe that will help.

Come join Providence Roller Derby! You don’t need any experience in skating and it’s a great workout!

Awesome! If you want to DM me, I can add you to our email list and you’ll get an email about the after holiday season.

We have a group of new skaters too who also just started a few months ago!

Can you add me to the email list?!

Sopressata t1_iyt39dz wrote

Absolutely! If you send an email to

Skaterrep@providencerollerderby.com

You can just let them know you’re interested and you’ll be added!

Also follow us @provrollerderby. We post a ton of information on our info sessions and new season sign ups. Expect the new season to start in January.

I’m going to post stuff on Reddit too when it gets closer. But we are so excited to get rolling and build a community of empowered people!

I swim too! Well I haven’t joined one here yet but back in Ohio I swam regularly. If you don’t mind my asking which gym/pool did you choose? I’ve been looking. DM if you’d rather not put it out for the world to see if you’d rather.

Also I’m sorry about the weather! I can’t imagine being used to a 70 winter and then dealing with this.

If you're interested in stimulating conversion, I 49m and a buddy hang at Plant City coffee house in the evening. We don't talk about sports, video games, or topics of popular culture, mostly intellectual and the philosophical. Good luck!
