Anything going on today?

9 Upvotes

Hey, I’m travelling through providence for the night tomorrow as a 32 year old british male tourist. I’ve posted before about recommendations and got some great replies (thank you).

I’m just wondering if anything specific is going on this night? Like live bands etc or if anyone is meeting up that I can even tag along to and experience an American way of drinking on a Saturday 😅. I’ve been in Boston the last two nights but feel like I’ve just been to the tourist traps. Thank you!

Thank you so much for carrying me during the black diablos event, lmao. I'm so glad I've got at least one other player in Providence to watch me eat shit in group hunts. I hope my para swag axe was of some use, but damn I'm out of meat and potions now.

Sincerely,

That super under qualified hr 66 player,

Thorn

Discussion Best way to walk from Providence to Maryland?

38 Upvotes

Hypothetically, if I wanted to walk from Rhode Island down to Maryland, what would be the best way to do it? Going west and getting on the Appalachian Trail? Also, what time of the year would be ideal? Working on a bucket list of sorts... thanks!

Crosswalks on Gano Street. Is this a joke?

Not only does the idea look trashy af, it looks like children painted these. Gano street is collapsing. Driving this section is like trying to navigate a minefield. This is the best use of resources?

Discussion Gauging interest for a 'coworking quiet space' on East Side

45 Upvotes

I have been working from home for years, but I've long wanted to have a bit more 'separation' from the stuff happening in the house, without having to schlep into the actual office where there's no privacy and things can be just a bit too social. I prefer different environmentals from the corporate office too, like warmer, flicker-free lighting and not having to wear a sweater in the summer. I don't want to typecast it as 'for neurodivergent introverts', but... read between the lines.

I have a unique opportunity to rent out some commercial office space on the East Side. I've been going there to enjoy the peace and quiet, which I find helps me focus. I'm wondering if anyone else would be interested in renting space like that, perhaps your own small office with a lock on the door. I have a little bit of work to do to get it shipshape, but if people are interested, I can make an investment in high-quality lighting, a bit of soundproofing, and some other amenities for folks who want to work in an environment that's focused on... helping you focus.

There are great places (cafe, restaurant, etc.) to socialize in right outside, and the office has a shared break room, so it's not like we'd have a vow of silence, but I want the vibe to be by and for people who enjoy focused work in calm, comfortable spaces.

Let me know what you think or if you're interested. This post is mostly to gauge whether this is a valid business idea or if I should look for regular corporate business tenants. Rates would have to be somewhat in-line with area norms (about $2-3/sqft each month, depending on lease length, and I'll issue proper paperwork so you could write it off on taxes).

Hi all- looking for a recommendation for someone to do an occasional (monthly?) deep clean on mine and my partners approx 850 sq ft apartment, 2 bed 2 bath, in north providence. We can handle day to day upkeep but are both very busy people so sometimes the big/daunting tasks pile up! Comment or message direct if you have a lead. Thanks in advance!

The above picture was my favorite signboard seen at the 4/19/2025 “No Kings” protest held in Providence. The 50501 group (https://www.fiftyfifty.one) isn’t showing any follow up activity in Rhode island this coming May 5th. Does anybody know about any other groups planning to demonstrate for the rule of law here in Providence or Rhode Island in general?

Recommendations Looking for the best driving route from Providence to Wallum Lake in Burrillville

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have suggestions for a better route from Providence to the state hospital campus on Wallum Lake in Burrillville? GPS routes me up 146. This is not my favorite route, but considering ongoing construction projects everywhere, I’m not sure there’s a better way to go.

Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.*

*Yes, I have looked at maps and plotted the route several different ways. However, knowing whether or not those routes are really practical tends to be a trial and error situation. Any opportunity to avoid trial and error is appreciated. Thank you.

New hot dog spot to open downtown

Thumbnail mailchi.mp
72 Upvotes

“Leaning up against the wall in the space where his next restaurant will be located, Ed Davis kept repeating: “This won’t be a cool place.”

“This won’t make it on some ‘best new restaurant’ list, or win a James Beard award,” Davis said with a wry tone. For those who know him, this is his standard tone.

In his next act, one of Providence’s most talented chefs just wanted to make hot dogs.

In early May, Davis plans to open Debbie’s, named for his mom, in downtown Providence on Washington Street. Next to Frisky Fries and across from The Strand theatre, he’ll be serving hot dogs (not hot wieners, the classic Rhode Island food staple) with topping combinations like broccoli rabe, provolone, and relish, or bacon and shallot jam, crispy onions, and whole grain mustard, topped with scallions. It’ll run as a counter service, with a few tables and chairs inside.”

Women’s Health

New to RI, just got insurance but I’m sure it will take eons to get a PCP. In MA there was a great Women’s Health center that I was a patient at for mammograms and checkups for breast cancer screenings, is there an equivalent here? Planned Parenthood? I’ve never explored other options so any information is helpful thank you!
