This. If you want more rural, only Rehoboth and western Seekonk north of Route 44 would meet your requirements for Massachusetts. But, Rehoboth is growing quickly, lots of houses being built there.

Google TurtleBoy Sports along with her name. There’s a good write up on her.

Great Summary, and I would toss in a trip to Bristol, and stop at Blithewold and Colt State Park. Blithewold has one of the only Sequoias on the east coast and the gardens are amazing.

The gardens at Blithewold

When I was a kid I used to jump off of this bridge, and the Nanaquaket and Seapowet bridges in Tiverton. I think the police will run you out of there today, tough.

Came here to say this. Frog and Toad and some other shops in Hope Village.

Welcome to Lifespan. I work there. One app you should download is "Ride Systems", which tracks the Lifespan shuttle buses to and from the hospitals to various parking lots, etc. You might be able to take a RIPTA bus to a location along Allens Ave, then jump on the next Lifespan shuttle to and from work. If you get a place in downtown Providence, it's an easy walk over to the Coro building and take a shuttle from there to work. In bad weather you can walk the "tunnel" that stretches from Hasbro Childrens Hospital all the way to Women and Infants, it's a 5 minute walk underground one way. There are off shoots in that tunnel to other buildings, so don't get lost like I did my first week on the job!

I did 2 gut renovations in 2020 and 2021 and both cost around 11k. But here’s the key- purchase all the materials yourself. In essence, be your own contractor. I used Ardente for my tub and toilet, build.com for the fixtures, kitchen countertop in Pawtucket for the vanity countertop and sink. glass door at Bristol county glass and I bought my vanity and mirror at Lowe’s. Once that was done I went looking around for labor. Plumbing labor was $1000 per bathroom, tile labor was around$3000 per bathroom, carpentry was around $1000 total. Plumbing fixtures cost about$1000. Lighting another $500 per bathroom including vent and vanity lighting. If you do your legwork you can get the price down substantially.

This is the one I have and I agree. It’s a great all-around chainsaw for any spring cleanup for a homeowner.

You could look in Hope Valley, or westerly, both are good choices to look.

Bristol. Colt State Park, East Bay Bike Path, downtown, historic homes, and the 4th of July celebrations throughout town and the parade. Good restaurants and very walkable.

Best time to get tickets is when the schedule is announced. Best time is November-December. With only 2 home games left and PC in the top 25 tickets are at a premium at this time

Check the Vermont subreddit. Particles from the train derailment are nearly here, there’s a map showing the particles. It’s spreading over upstate NY and NE

Their hoot sounds like “Who cooks for you”?

It’s a barred owl. I have one in my backyard. We get into staring contests on the weekends.

This. Once you discover the East Side and Fox Point you’ll be looking for a place here. Oak Hill in Pawtucket is desirable too.

Yes I saw Frank Santos the R rated hypnotist there back in the early 1990s. He hypnotized a group of women out for their wedding shower and had the bride-to-be make out with a complete stranger. When she came to she threatened that her future husband would find him and “beat him up”. He put her under again quickly using a key word and she went back to making out with him again.

They are strict. The park closes at sunset and that’s it. It’s the same for all RI State Parks.

Looking forward to the 6/10 project wrapping up this year.

My dad delivered mail in the Darlington section of Pawtucket for years. He always spoke well of that area. He brought home lots of Xmas presents every year from the folks he delivered mail to. Lots of single family homes there. Worth looking into.

I found one by calling blue cross and asking them if any pcps under my insurance were accepting patients. Blue cross web site was outdated, when I used that list online, I got rejections as they were no longer accepting new patients.

The list of startups here looks promising:

Look up Christmas Lane in North Kingstown. It’s off Route 1. Every home on that road has beautiful Christmas displays.

I just checked Zillow for properties for sale SW of Mount Pleasant. If it’s anything next to or within a short walk of Triggs Golf Course you should be ok. That’s Chalkstone Ave. But, avoid Manton Ave, that’s a bit rough. Chalkstone is at the top of Mount Pleasant (hill) and Manton Ave is at the bottom of that hill.

Any Chelo’s location.

If you go in 2 weeks the mansions should be decorated for the holidays by then. Visit the big 4 (Breakers, Elms, Marble House, and Rosecliff). Have fun!
