Pot hole filler, while my brother drives around, making them.

Smokestack closed back in November, but I haven't heard of BT's Worcester location closing. Would be sad if they did.

100% Best BBQ in Southern New England. They catered my wedding, Brian knows what he is doing. They have a second location in Worcester and does a pretty good fried chicken sandwich.

Your insurance company should pay for any extra power usage caused by your living situation and what the mitigation company used. Send your electric bill off to your adjuster.

They have a case of sushi grade fish that is packaged separately from their other fish.

Good Fortune in Providence.

I moved 8 years ago to Rhode Island from the far off distance of Connecticut and it has been great. Love the state and the character it has, Providence is awesome and is my favorite city, and the beaches/coastline is beautiful.

It is New England so people are kind not nice up here, so don't expect us to have a conversation with you in the checkout line. Things are expensive but salaries are pretty good. Things are not as expensive as Boston.

Gas has low margins but is one of the main reasons you stop, coffee is cheap - incredibly as pointed out above - they provide a hot cup at a reasonable compared to a coffee shop cup it will still feel incredibly cheap. They can subsidize their promotions based on the amount of cups they sell outside of the promotion. Finally if you get a cup of coffee you may be more inclined to begin the breakfast ritual and you'll buy food too. Once you're out of your car and in their store, it is all mostly high margin items (except for cigarettes and lotto tickets).

They actually had a really good variety of graphic novels with a decent price. Though yeah, definitely a job lot type situation, makes sense since they are jobbers. Which are people who take deliveries that get canceled by larger companies.

More representation for our state, it is all based on population but the number for total membership is fixed. More reps = more votes = larger percentage = more power. We almost lost our second this year, so unless we start having greater population gains versus another state we may possibly lose one. Every 10 years we do a census and that census determines congressional redistricting. Which is why the census is also good to do.

Maybe in 8 years we'll only have one.

Providence Flea is more flea/craft market. Saturday is the farmer's market and Wednesday 4 to 7pm the farmer's market is at the Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket.

Rogue Island is amazing. 100 percent go, I love it so much. We usually park at the mall or if we are feeling lazy in one of the surface lots. Mall is for sure cheaper.
