True, but there are hundreds of other license holders that figure it all out. Also they were supposed to renew by December 1st, so all these places are over three months late.

There are a few surprises on there. Dolores, Skyline at Waterplace, Gracie’s, the Strand…

Reply to City to introduce Providence Community Electricity Program, offer electricity at lower rates than Rhode Island Energy by relbatnrut
“In addition, the Smiley staffers were unaware the company had been fined tens of millions of dollars for environmental, labor, and health violations by federal and state agencies.
According to the database ViolationTracker.com, Florida Power & Light/NextEra has been fined in excess of $30 million.
But more recently, the energy company has been alleged to have committed election violations and has poured tens of millions in support of GOP candidates in an effort to block environmental legislation, specifically efforts to promote renewables.”

I don’t think Providence could be a 2,000 year old city in Spain, no matter how hard we try.

And the same owners as $3 Bar
I hope they make it, for the sake of the people who made a living from working there. But this seems pretty ominous.

Saki’s is for sale, so it probably won’t be an issue for long

It hasn’t been the Comcast Center since 2013.

It’s not a major get. It might be a good show that you’ll enjoy, but Jerry Cantrell and Alice In Chains hasn’t been relevant for 25 years.

I think the ownership group has money problems. They also own the Rosendale (closed since last summer?” and Studio Lounge (looks like it closed in November). They still have Fish Co though.

You’re the one commenting on the “barely legal teens” subreddit. You shouldn’t be around anyone

Don’t try and straw man me. I’m an anonymous stranger on the internet. You know nothing about me. Don’t project your gentrifier’s guilt on other people. Look inside and face what you are.
You are clearly not “as liberal as they come”. Just another NIMBY that wants the problem pushed to a place where they don’t have to see it everyday.

Everyone wants to help, but “NIMBY”? Also, those of us that have been here a while know it wasn’t that long ago that the whole Armory neighborhood was like that. Now the gentrifiers are upset that it’s slightly like it used to be.

Reply to comment by Flashbulb_RI in What’s happening with this Bintimani/AS220 drama? by Loveroffinerthings
I’m not saying AS220 doesn’t still do good work - they certainly do. They’re just not as grass roots and altruistic as the once were.
If you watch the video the guy from Bintimani posted, he’s main issue is that AS220 treated them like a business. He says AS220 has a responsibility to help marginalized communities, and then deciding not to host Bintimani pop-ups anymore is a direct act of aggression against a oppressed communities by the “non-profit industrial complex”
I’m really just pointing out how much AS220 has changed and that people shouldn’t expect the same level of altruism they once had.

I was referring more to them being a commercial landlord, renting to a bunch of restaurants and other businesses downtown.

What happened in Boston was a bit more complicated. They were evicted for non-payment of rent

AS220 is far from the community arts organization it started as. Now it’s worth about $20 million because owns a bunch of buildings downtown tax free and is mostly acts as a full time corporate landlord.

Not really that funny. When Ogies opened it was one of the only bars on that part of town. Plus it’s a stones throw from where E&O was.

I heard they pulled out when the state legislature failed to allow alcohol sales at non-liquor stores.
