Reply to Local TV News? by Bobbito95

We watch WJAR out of habit. We like Mario and Alison in the morning, but hate the Sinclair content that they sneak in.

Also not a fan of Gene V. or that guy Dan.

I like all the weather people just fine, but I miss Kelly Bates very much. She's on channel 6.

If I switched, how would I be able to annoy my husband about how the traffic person Rosie doesn't know the difference from work attire and going out attire?

It's a dilemma.

Reply to Best used appliance stores in RI? by amybounces

Danny's appliance on academy Ave, have bought many appliances from them at really good prices, some of them are scratch and dent so like new. Also Bucky's in central falls, bought a range from them many years ago.

I don't have a RI store but I recall a scratch and dent appliance store just over the border in Attleboro. It was next to the Habitat for Humanity Restore on Washington St, Attleboro MA 02703. I think it was Tony's used appliances.

Reply to Why does Rhode Island College have such a negative reputation? Is it that bad? by PinkSwallowLove

RIC is fantastic for a lot of majors but it's a trashcan for comp sci and math. The computer science department is an after thought stapled onto the math department. If you want to do comp sci or engineering on a budget, take a transfer degree at ccri that brings you to uri. you will save thousands and will give you a much better education.

Reply to comment by mica1994 in Weird smell outside last night after rain by darthduder666

I definitely think it’s worth a call! The folks who are paid to do that sort of thing (environmental emergency response) really and truly very rarely know unless someone tells them. I also truly doubt it originates from the derailment. I think it’s much, much more likely some facility nearby made a “whoopsie” or something like that. Do you know how to check on the RCRA-regulated facilities near you? There’s an EPA website you can use to check which facilities near you have had violations, as well as check on the types of facilities near you that might one day have an “oopsie!”

we live in providence, so it could be anything really. we're in a mostly residential area.

i'm not sold on the smell originating from the east palestine derailment due to timing and a few articles i've read, but when i saw your comment, i figured why not call it in and let the professionals check it out! it was enough to startle both of us when we went outside.

Reply to Anyone know about buying land in RI? by [deleted]

Do you own property now? I know someone in Scituate who received a USDA farm grant to build a high tunnel on her property, and a high tunnel or two would be a great start at a nursery I bet! (: She received one or two more USDA farm grants too I think! (: Met her on Reddit actually ha!
