I didn't see many episodes but I did catch one with a very drunk woman who claimed kin with a local politician? Details are hazy lol

ETA: an a segment with a woman driving a clown car full of dogs 😂

Really?

u/cowperthwaite, on the topic of more residential housing, do you know anything about what the end result will be for the property at the end of East St?

It used to be the RI International School (I've seen two different names). It overlooks India Point Park, right at the pedestrian bridge.

Now it's being rehabbed (huge sign says funding by BankRI). Awhile ago, one of the workman told me there'd be 70+ residential units?

Thank you!

>Basically instead of ending downtown, route 10 would have continued through downtown, over College Hill, over the Henderson Bridge, through EP, and rejoin 195 somewhere around Seekonk.

Omg: horrific! 😳 Can't believe anyone anywhere ever could have thought this was a good idea

Here you go: posted this 32 days ago on the Prov sub https://www.reddit.com/r/providence/comments/10f7lzx/one_month_early_neighbors_yay/

>hellebores are budding

Those have been in bloom since early January here in Prov

Snowdrops were blooming a month+ ago in Providence! Earliest I've ever seen.

My next door neighbor's daffodils have visible buds formed, been that way for two weeks.

Another neighbor has crocuses in full bloom, at least a dozen. Those all popped just this week.

All are the earliest I've seen in my 30+ years here.

So sorry: that must have been devastating, particularly losing such a young pup. Poor sweet girl. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss 💐

>If anyone knows any local reporters

There are two who frequently post here and on the Prov sub.

Doubt they'd do an overt hit piece on the state's sole emergency vet but given RI's ratio of pets to people, the story might be how shocking it is that there aren't more emergency vets in the state. (Which btw likely explains why Ocean State is so arrogant: no local competition.)

There's certainly a story in how much all our vets were absolutely buried during the pandemic without a break (I know mine didn't get any time off) and are still overwhelmed now. I hear it's very difficult to find a vet taking new patients 😣

Not to mention insurance rates

Awww. Your family was so kind to find her the help she needed. Most would have put her down early on.

Tufts being a teaching hospital helps a lot. I believe it's among the best for veterinary in the US

👆This is the answer, for sure.

Unless it's for an absolute dog in Nowhere, Arkansas, what property owner would do this? There is no upside for them.

So, OP, if you ever were to find such an offer here in RI, it's telling you loud and clear that it's predatory or worse

>Not a fan of public surveillance

Nor me but I am so ready for traffic cams / robo tickets being issued every time some vacuous dick sails right through a four-way stop with a pedestrian halfway across in the crosswalk 😡

I walk my young high-energy dog a lot throughout the day and can't count the times we'd have been hit if I weren't hyper-vigilant

Pretty sure Tufts is among the best in the US

Yes, corner of Power & Benefit 👍

No, Buddy's house is on the same side of Benefit but a block or more toward Wickenden.

Oak Hill neighborhood, just over the Prov/Pawtucket line beyond Hope / Blackstone Blvd -- that's a wonderful, cozy, quiet neighborhood. Have friends who are longtime residents there and they love it.

Also consider Riverside, just across the Seekonk River from the East Side, in East Providence. Friends who live there all love it.

I lived for 8 years in Silver Lake. At the end of Plainfield St, its crown jewel (and it really is one) is Neutecon(+ several more syllables) Hill which is absolutely fantastic for hiking and being instantly boom! into the woods -- remarkable for a city dweller.

And Silver Lake has some of the best hidden-gem tiny Central American restaurants.

There were a few murders while I lived there (one directly opposite us) but otherwise crime wasn't so bad. And no loud rowdy student parties.

What was bad, and it ended up really affecting me, was the lack of trees and green. If in spring summer fall, you walked around the East Side, then did the same length walk in Silver Lake, you'd notice it. I walk a lot and did not enjoy it there at all -- but having that Hill helps!

Likely a RISDoid artifact

That's the Burnside House -- a Civil War general from whom we get sideburns

I know some types of sober living houses pay for overnight staff

ikr?!😆

As a non-native resident, I keep wishing I could find a map of Rhode Island printed on a vinyl shower curtain that I could study to while away the time.

Since it would need to be wider than long, maybe the state alongside a close-up of greater Providence.
