their smoked Bluefish is insanely good

Family Eye Care in Pawtucket has very reasonable prices. If you just need single vision lenses, you can get an eye exam and the frames & lenses for about $100 total. The doctor in charge over there is a great guy too.

Both

Has to be.. it's also currently for sale and I hope someone buys it

It's in the list in the lower right

You are technically correct - the best kind of correct!

Take a look at Oak Hill in Pawtucket, Fox Point in Providence, and Edgewood/Pawtuxet in Cranston. All 3 have most of your daily needs in walking distance, plus good access to RIPTA (RI's statewide bus network)

Zahara. Nova has similar prices but it's always so packed and they herd you like cattle. I prefer Zahara because they include tax in the posted price and it's far easier to get in and out of than Nova, despite being practically next door. Also if you sign up for their text notifications, there are $20 deals semi-regularly

Zahara. They also have $80 preground half ounces usually.

The place I normally go in Attleboro has a selection of eights (usually at least 3 or 4 to choose from) for $25, including taxes. The lowest price down the street is a $33 ($40 with tax) eighth of low-THC bud

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

I think a lot of the people that knock it, also never venture outside of it

I have accounts with Citizens and Navigant (I have a mortgage with Navigant and they require you to have an account). I haven't had problems with either, but Citizens definitely has better hours and more available branches.

They both have fee-free checking as long as you make one deposit per month. Every Stop & Shop and Cumby's in New England has a Citizens ATM, which is nice. Navigant lets you use other Credit Unions' ATMs without a fee which is nice as well.

TLDR: Citizens is more convenient overall, but Navigant is good if you want to stay with a hyperlocal institution. I definitely feel like more of a person and less of a number with Navigant.

I really like the ones at the Hot Club

here's the whole story - https://www.kenyonsgristmill.com/johnny_cakes.html

It's not cake, they're basically pancakes but made out of boiled cornmeal. Way better than it sounds, but you need good butter and real maple syrup to eat them with.

can't go wrong with a box of Kenyon's Johnny Cake mix

I think they're specific to Newfoundland, but Jam Jams..

It's one of those old small northeastern cities that was gutted when all the industry left, but it's definitely on the upswing recently. It has a really cute, relatively intact downtown with a ton of potential and a bunch of very recent development adjacent to the station. Capron Park and its little zoo is a really nice asset too. That said it's definitely way sleepier than Providence (but only a 20 minute train ride away). The bus system there is bad though.. GATRA makes RIPTA look like the Tokyo Metro

I do. Also, Providence is in the process of developing a network of urban trails, the first of which is open and is pretty great for the most part.

Not to talk you out of Providence (I grew up here and I love it), but it might be worth looking into Attleboro. There's an MBTA stop downtown with a lot of recent development clustered around it, so you can easily get to Providence or Boston. It's also in Massachusetts, which has a much better school system overall and access to in-state UMASS benefits. Massachusetts also has the closest thing to universal healthcare that exists in the US right now.

If you can find a daily schedule that works for you, an Amtrak monthly pass is actually less expensive than an MBTA commuter rail pass. Taking Amtrak instead of commuter rail means that there are only 2 stops between Providence and South Station instead of about a dozen, and the train is far more comfortable. You get power outlets, a cafe car, and save about 25 minutes each way.

As far as getting to the station, if you live in walking distance to the R-Line, you can reliably get to the station. It's the closest thing Providence has to a rapid transit line, and it runs every 10 minutes or so and goes directly to the train station.
