>Also, there's a "movement" to Keep PVD Secret

I can't decide what's stupider: that slogan, or the fact that a store owned by a suburbanite who hasn't lived in Providence for decades is the one pushing it.

If their customer base was limited only to people living in the city, they'd be out of business in a year tops.

All I'm saying is Be Careful What You Wish For. Ask Austin, TX. The people I know who used to love it there have moved. Tourists and hipsters ruined it for a lot of those who made it a special place.

Providence is a special place. I'm not a native. I CHOSE to live here. I own property, pay taxes, pick up trash, connect with my neighbors and communities, I try to volunteer in every one of our 25 neighborhoods, every year. I support local music, local art, local farmers, local artists.
