Look a little further down Hope past the Pawtucket line in Oak Hill? If you stay west of East Ave. (i.e. what Hope becomes in Pawtucket) there’s still some housing that isn’t outrageously expensive if you’re willing to put in some improvements. Also still walkable to Lippitt Park and some restaurants.

There's a bit of a coffee shop desert at the far edge of Oak Hill in Pawtucket before you get to 95, although there's a lot of residents there that would love one (I know Wildflour exists, but I'm talking further from that plaza). There is a 'for lease' sign on two little storefronts around 420 Pawtucket Ave. that I've always wished were a tiny coffee bar. Bonus: it's just around the corner from where Butterbang opened up shop. And honestly, there might be other available spots on Pawtucket Ave.

Yup! And they've got pretzel rolls and the oyster po boy on the Garden Grille menu now.
