Tavern on state.

Best place in town.

I’ve lived in Smoothie and 38 crown in the past. Smoothie overlooking Olive was probably quieter. What I really hated about 38 crown was that the traffic light to cross Orange is extremely long and motorcycles will sit at the light and rev their engines while they wait. I’ve had to pause movies to wait for them to get at least a block away and they woke me up from a dead sleep all summer long.

Anywhere downtown is absolutely awful in the warmer months. Dirt bikes, ATVs, loud pipe road bikes, Loud stereos. People come from all over the state just to make noise downtown all night because they want an audience.

Your only options living downtown are:

1. Be okay with the noise or get used to it.
2. Move onto the height floor of a tall building.
3. Get a good white noise machine or earplugs (which won’t overcome a straight pipe Harley going max rev at 2am)
4. Move to East rock.

Zeneli’s pizza.

Mecha has surprisingly good drinks

Yet, these gadgets always end up in the hands of “influencers” who use them to harass wildlife.

Not trying to start a fight with u/j54t, but the pizza place you should really try is Zeneli’s.

Possibly unpopular opinion: if underwater drones become popular, I worry about them becoming a nuisance to wildlife and scuba divers. One thing I love about scuba diving is that it is a community of people that is largely free of influencers and advocates for passive, respectful encounters with wildlife.

I would hate to be diving and have some drone-bro scaring off all the fish, damaging reefs, of possibly making my dive more dangerous.

Maybe it’s a hot take or maybe I’m tired of drones infiltrating all of my surface-based activities.
