Reply to comment by hotpenguinlust in Is Pawtucket the new up and coming area outside of Providence? by jeanclaudevandamnnnn

I just moved to Riverside from out of state. I love that I can walk two seconds from my front door and have several restaurants, a bakery and a recreational area. However, there's not much of a "nightlife" and there's LOTS of older folks. For example, I have an elderly woman on one side of my townhome and an elderly couple on the other side. Another gripe is the grocery store there (Shaw's) is kinda crappy. I drive to the Stop n Shop in Seekonk for my groceries. This is just my two cents though!

The layout is just so bizarre to me and feels very claustrophobic. Like the eggs are on an end cap... What is that?!

I suppose I’m just used to it. I know where everything is. They did a remodel a few years back and the rows are closer together- so feelin the claustrophobia comment. The staff are super friendly and helpful and it’s been mostly the same group for as long as I can remember. Feels like a neighborhood grocery store. I like that.

I only go to that shaws usually for sale items or quick needs, that I dont feel like driving to stop and shop in EP for. I will say, you are spot on at the same workers. I dont know them, but i know their faces and some of them have been there since i was a kid. (Im 38 now). Also, so much cleaner since the remodel!

My SO and I call this one Shitty Shaws. It’s a little nicer now after the remodel at least.

Yea we drive down to the market basket in Attleboro, I feel the meat and general prices are heater than shaws. Good news is from most of pawtucket you can drive to the wholefoods and the new trader joes fairly quickly if you need more options

Is there something wrong with elderly neighbors? Mine are nice folks and I enjoy their company.

No but someone was suggesting Riverside is up and coming and a larger elderly population doesn't exactly scream that.
