*Does not apply from between the Bucket all the way down to Bald Hill Rd.

100 percent agree with everything you just said. And frankly, I think that's the plight that these companies exploit.

Is it really? I was just guessing. Damn.

So I did a quick map of the West Warwick/Coventry "Dollar Tour"

Starting at the Dollar Tree in Cowesett Ave WW one can visit four Family Dollars, three Dollar Trees, and three Dollar Generals in just over 30 minutes and ~11 miles of driving.

Google map of "Dollar" stores WW/Coventry

I agree with you, but to many perception is reality, "It's only $1.25." And sadly they don't understand that not only are they losing out on quality but also paying MORE based on quantity.

Yep. There's three Family Dollars, three Dollar Trees, and Two Dollar Generals all within a few miles of each other.

Curious if that new building on 117 right on the WW Coventry line is going to be a Dollar General as well.

Ditto. My 2 bed 1 bath burns about half tank every five weeks. Another buck and a quarter a month for electricy. All my bulbs are LEDs now. Have modern appliances. I was actually reducing my bills using more energy efficient products UNTIL they hiked the rates 45%.

Second on Zenni.

I have one in my yard. His name is Brian Griffin.

Yep. They play at Las Vegas this week. Makes sense they are leaving today.

I think there also used to be public access programming that was in "the clubs".

All those people living their best life. Lol.

You know what. You're right. Not the same. Thanks for pointing that out.

I maintain this type of surveillance is unfavorable to the relationship between the community and the city. And that it's a step in the wrong direction.

It's not about the startup cost for the city. Some of these politicians sneeze $160,000 into a Kleenex every day.

It's about them using violative methods to access millions of dollars (see east Providence) in revenue.

Awe. How cute. A police state. Congratulations Rhode Island. You voted for this! Hurray!

EDIT: The downvotes are cute from those that must swallow the bitter pill they took willingly.

ACLU of Rhode Island says this:

"Indiscriminate and far-reaching surveillance efforts promote a police state, not community safety. We denounce the increase of this surveillance technology and urge the city to instead invest in robust housing, educational, and economic supports, all of which promote public safety and trust in the community rather than suspicion.”
