Have you spent a summer there yet? I abhor the cold, but in Florida if you want to do something like go for a run in the summer you need to be done by 9am or else you die.

You do realize that not all jobs offer health insurance to their employees? And that healthcare is a human right. We have the most inhumane system in the developed world here.

Not like JC/NYC, no :) A lot of Italian. There are more available to you in the surrounding cities, though, like Somerville & Morristown, and of course there are a lot of options as you drive further out.

Good. I went to Morristown for hospital. Most of my doctors were through summit medical in Berkeley Heights. I used a pediatric group in Bedminster (Somerset pediatrics).

I lived in that area for 30 years (1 town over) and then moved to jc, so my experiences are mostly from my town. Here’s some stuff off the top of my head.
It was a great place to raise kids in a lot of ways. Good access to parks and nature. Easy for kids to play with kids in the neighborhood. Nice community for me as a young parent. Very convenient to shopping and services. Far to get to anything like concerts or city life (although Morristown has a new music venue). Expensive, but not compared to jc. Not much ethnic or socioeconomic diversity. High pressure schools. Not walkable for errands- highly car dependent. Mediocre restaurants. Very much suburban in feel and values.
I’m happy to talk more specifics over dm if you have questions.

I went to the Roger Williams Botanical Center this morning. There are some nice greenhouses filled with plants that you can walk around. It's warm and filled with nature. :)

Reply to High winds shatter Cranston Street Armory windows, causing temperature drop by lestermagnum
High winds shattered several windows at the Cranston Street Armory — one of several warming centers open as Rhode Island weathers a cold snap — causing temperatures to drop on Saturday.
Gov. Dan McKee's spokesman Matt Sheaff said the building, which was housing about 180 people on Friday night, was preheated, but extreme winds broke the panes, bringing a chill into the main drill hall. Outside, temperatures on Friday had sunk into the single digits.
"The Governor has deployed his incoming Housing Secretary, Department of Administration Director, Emergency Management Director and the National Guard to assess and address the situation quickly in partnership with Amos House," Sheaff said. "The team is fixing the windows and bringing in temporary heaters."
The plan is to allow people to use other parts of the armory to stay overnight, and allow couples to relocate to a new shelter on Hartford Avenue.
The armory, which will remain a warming station until April 15, is one of eight 24-hour warming centers in the state, though many others are open during the day.
Wind chills over the weekend were expected to plummet as low as 25 degrees below zero, with the potential to cause frostbite in just 30 minutes, according to the National Weather Service.

Walkable? Depends on what you want to walk to. Most of the city feels more suburban than urban to me, and in some of those areas you can accomplish many of your errands on foot. So there’s probably a coffee shop, a drugstore, maybe a supermarket, likely some bars and restaurants. But it’s not like you’ll be walking everywhere. You’ll want a car for most other things. It’s not walkable in the way a larger city is.

The opportunity for random interaction is missing. Also I live on the west side and I don’t like walking around here.

What I loved about nyc was being able to walk around all the time and enjoy the energy of the place. Providence has a more suburban feel, and although you can walk some places, depending on where in pvd you live, it’s not the same kind of thing.

After living in the NYC area most of my life I think the food here is good for a smaller city, but doesn't really impress me. I know I'm very spoiled.

Hey does anyone know if there is a 1-1 correspondence between breaker box and meter? I know which one is my breaker box, I know which one is my meter. I think my bill is higher than it should be, so if I turn off the master breaker in my box, should I expect my meter to stop spinning?
I'm concerned that something in the building is tied to my meter than should not be and I am trying to debug it.
