People grocery shopping are worse than drunk men hitting balls with a club into a net?

Because Costco will very clearly attract much larger crowds all day long than Top Golf?

That's where Top Golf is going, I thought... but who knows 🤔 So much conflicting information about this

Okay, but Top Golf is okay? A place that serves alcohol? Why is that okay, but Costco isn't?

I like it. The fried coating and sauce can be overwhelming sometimes. If you don't mind the drive, I'd say try Crave in Chinatown, Boston. Best Korean fried chicken I've had so far.

At home. Most fish mongers or grocery like Dave’s will steam them in store.
Cheaper. Easy as pie. Eat at home.

Wasn't the proposal that got canned a different location than the one that got approved? The failed one was Mulligan's Island, the new one is the old Citizens Bank offices, I think.

Yes, people in Cranston are overwhelmingly against it. When I lived there 2 years ago the neighborhoods nearby had meetings about it and everything to make sure it goes somewhere else. And for good reason too- traffic is already abysmal there and would make the quality of life for the people who live directly next to there worse.

I heard they canceled it when the state voted against letting grocery and convenience stores sell beer and wine.

Is the location the actual issue? That's what I'm trying to find out... what is the hold up?

Someone I work with swears by it and says the only better spot “around here” is in Boston. Iv been once and will go again but will always day dream about it more than I could ever go.

I guess that depends on how you like your lobster. Boiled, baked, stuffed, etc.

There has got to be a better location than there. It's only a Costco not an airport. How much room do they need?

First hit and run I’ve ever been involved in, and I haven’t been in an accident in over 10 years. Guess this is the push I really needed to finally buy a dash cam

No idea. It's be nice to have a Costco closer than Dedham or Avon.

The amount of hit and runs I've heard about lately is absolutely insane. It's why I got a dash cam but I still need to get a rear one too.

I don’t know if they still have it, but the bibimbap at the Ivy Tavern is always a great choice

Reply to comment by Desperate_Expert_952 in Push to boost RI minimum wage loses steam as public's interest is pulled to housing crisis by cowperthwaite
Inflation statistics regurgitated by economics are a lie to protect the system from violent uprising. In 1970 it took 22 hours to earn an ounce of gold at minimum wage. Gold has retained its value for 2500 years. If you do the math in ancient Babylon it cost 1ounce of gold by modern weight standards to buy 350 loaves of bread. A sheckle bought 100-150 pounds of grain depending on the type of grain so if you do the math it equals 350 loaves to a Troy ounce of gold and today a quality loaf of bread costs $5-6 so I’ve ounce still buys 350 loaves. But it now takes between 125-250 hours to earn equal value. Minimum wage would need to be $84 to provide equal buying power as it did 51 years ago. Money was intentionally devalued to destroy the progress made by pro labor advocacy in the 50’s&60’s but the wages of the rich were adjusted for this meanwhile those doing the work have had the value of wealth produced by their labor looted so that a small select groups can live in extreme wealth. If you made $900,000 a day every day since Columbus landed in the Caribbean you wouldn’t be as wealthy as Elon musk who built his wealth on his fathers hand outs stolen wages from apartheid emerald miners

What we needed to avoid was legalizing stock buybacks, ending the gold standard, Shipping jobs to third world countries killing labor and unions so share holders can steal the surplus value produced by laborers instead of those companies taking care of those responsible for their luxurious silver spoon in mouth lives by providing them with real incentives to work hard. These days the only way to ensure you won’t have a retirement or own a home is to work as a blue or white collar laborer.
Even Einstein said that economics is not a real science and can not solve the issues associated with the modern world and capitalism. It is a school of thought that defends exploitation and explains its mathematical mechanisms. When you take away the exploitation apologist angle of economics you’re left with basic arithmetic nothing more.

Oh and CPI was around 2% for years which is favorable to our nation and growth.

When you start off your statement by vilifying and entire discipline it makes it hard to take anything you say seriously.
Pain was going to come in two forms we had to pick.
Runaway inflation due to crap fed monetary policies for decades and multiple presidents OR stagnation of wages and rising of rates.
What we needed to avoid was stagflation as seen in the Carter presidency.
Pain was going to occur and runaway inflation hurts the poor the most.

Is this why Phred's drug store closed? There were 3 drug stores that sold lq that I know of. Phred's, Cameron's, and a drug store on the corner of Broad and Norwood in Edgewood.
Costco doesn't need to sell lq. Our Aldi's don't.. everyone else's does. I don't get it.
