Just checked their Facebook and it says April?

Awesome! Thank you!

And Tennessee, I see at least 4 Tennessee plates a week, I don't think I'd seen more than one or two a year before 2021.

The 1 line would bring you to market basket in S. Attleboro. You can also transfer from the 1 to the 78 at Pawtucket and that would bring you to aldie Shaw's and Stop & Shop(I know this isn't what you want but it is an option) in East Providence.

The 1 line runs up Hope to market basket in South Attleboro, sounds like it would be a good option for OP.

Does anyone know how thick it actually is?

You're not wrong, but TJ's opened what 2/3 months ago? They had to have been in rough shape already if 3 months of competition has driven them to this

I always do, but never feel like I get the heads up. Hopefully it's just earning me good karma. I'm seeing a lot of people saying x number of flashes me this or that, I'd never heard that. I always thought flashes of any type, meant check everything, your lights, your driving,
your environment.

I'll flashlights if someone looks distracted and they're drifting lanes, it feels less aggressive than honking.

That was knocked down on appeal. It's protected by freedom of speech because it's a communication method, just like your clothes are protected.

but you still need to have navigation open, are people really using navigation to go to work and get home everyday?
If I'm going somewhere out of the norm, I'll mark it on google maps, but I still flash my lights.

I was super lazy and had the scrappers from FB pull mine out of my basement. My basement stairs are a death trap, and getting the new one down there was hard enough. They were more than happy to pull it up the stairs

Unfortunately we've got plenty of our own here in RI.

I like the thick crust, and the pepperoni. Providence has so many good pizza shops, I feel like there's a pizza for every mood. Caserta's for a thick crust & pepperoni with a hint of spice. Minerva's in Wayland is a bad day special, when I need extra cheese as I'm grabbing a pizza on my way home. Sicilia's for a deep dish that's meant for sharing with friends. Big Cheese (technically Cranston I know) is for the classic circle cut into squares with extra cheese that screams family meal night with the extended family, you get like 4 or 5 diff5types of pizza and the smaller slices mean you get a little of each one.

You've definitely hit the moved out of state missing good pizza thing on the head. I've got family in bumfuck nowhere FL where all they have is a domino's and pizza hut the next town over. I frequently buy pizzas and wimpy skimpies the night before I fly and freeze them, then pack in my carry-on because they're so missed.

This just got me thinking, what would a third place look like in 2023? Social clubs used to revolve around shared heritage for the most part. But what would it take to start one now?

I'm not asking for you to answer this so much as I would love to spitball the idea and see where it goes.

Stop in, their chicken apple walnut salad/wrap is a favorite. I love their thanksgiving dinner when I'm craving comfort food but don't want to go through all that effort. But you really can't go wrong. When my family visits from FL, Gregg's is always a restaurant we try and work in. Chelo's is good too, a little more greasy than Greggs.
And the table pickles at Greggs are amazing! don't forget to get those!

Death by Chocolate from Greggs is the only acceptable answer for die hard chocolate lovers. I like a little variation, so I'm here for the heath cake.

Going on Sunday, this is good to hear!

I live on the East Bay Bike Path, there are people on it all hours of the night and that's just fine. We don't say people have to stop using roads after sundown, why should they have to stop using the bike path? This is a tragic death. But that bike path keeps riders and walkers on a protected path away from vehicles, for some people it provides a more direct route to where they're going. Our communities aren't 100% safe, nothing is, but the path is a lot safer than forcing riders to share the road late at night with distracted drivers.

Stop making this about the victim being where he "shouldn't" have been. If it was a health issue, then him riding on the side of the road would have been just as dangerous. If there was something more malicious at play here, then the only person responsible, is the person involved.

EP police drive up and down the bike bath randomly at night, the homeless guy who lived on my section was forced to move, even though he wasn't hurting anyone by living in the woods. The bike path at night is just as safe if not safer than the roads.

Exactly, Providence shouldn't. It can choose to, but it would be bad for the city it would be bad for the state. I didn't argue saying it was a good option. I just said it was an option and I warned what would happen if it was taken.

You'd be surprised at the number of people who don't live in Providence who visit every weekend. My friend is from Brockton, not a transplant, actually from Brockton, and she drives out here 2-3 times a week. She goes out in Providence more than I do.

You say "should we choose to accommodate cars", like Providence hasn't been doing that for 50 years. The reason the walkable city mentality is having trouble is because pvd has prioritized cars for 2? 3? generations, no one remembers when Providence had street cars, and you could take a street car to Cresent Park or Rocky Point. Now we're having to pull back that infrastructure in favor of pedestrian infrastructure. People don't like what they perceive as a step backward. People aren't understanding that infrastructure reduces car use among everyone because they don't want to. They either can't see 5 moves ahead to understand that, or they feel entitled to be able to take their cars everywhere because the US is such a car-centric country, and our rugged individualism views public transit as less than.

I don't think most people drive in Providence because it's dangerous to walk. I'd argue there are more car windows broken and cars ransacked every night than there are muggings. Compare Providence to the next most populated city country wide, Knoxville? And you'll see Rhode Island has significantly less crime. Providence isn't a dangerous city if you look at 2021's crime report and look at what's considered street crime (robberies and assaults), there were a total of 2,409 offenses all year. This averages out to 6.6 crimes a night. If WaterFire brings in an average of 40k people, let's assume there are 10k people who are going out on a normal Friday night and triple the average crime rate because there's more crime on a Friday night than a Tuesday night. That's one crime for every 5,000 people out. And yes, I know street crime is under-reported, and that's not even taking into account that most reported crime is committed by people known to the victim and not strangers. But seriously, can we stop saying Providence is dangerous? It's a bullshit excuse people from the suburbs use to say I'm uncomfortable if there are people of color in my vicinity.

You can choose not to accommodate people who don't live outside providence, but most of the Providence economy is service industry, and if you take the patrons away, Providence will be right back where it was in the 70's and 80's.

You don't need to drive in Providence, but many of us need to drive to get into Providence. Once you're in the neighborhood you want to be in, you're fine, but you have to be able to get downtown, or whatever neighborhood you want. It's a catch 22, you can't have a great walkable city without infrastructure changes and increases in RIPTA, but you won't get those things until you have the userbase to necessitate it, and that population won't come if it's not convenient. As a capitol city, it gets a substantial number of out of towners, they have to get to the city some how, and RIPTA isn't convenient. I live in Riverside and work in Providence, it takes me 25-20 minutes to drive to work everyday, but would take 1:35 on RIPTA. I don't want to see Providence paved over, but I have to be able to conveniently get into the city, so that I can enjoy it. I want better RIPTA service so I can take RIPTA home from a night out in Providence. Right now, the last bus from KP leaves at 10:30, that's barely dinner, no show, no dancing.
