Madrid European Bakery. It's semi quiet, though sometimes pretty full of people working.

I think if people zoom out and look at other cities around the nation, they'll see that this sort of thing has far less to do with local law enforcement or politics and almost everything to do with the economy and stress caused by macro factors.

I used to bounce between Providence, New Haven, and NYC quite a bit, and I was always sort of stunned by how each community would be experiencing the same exact thing and each thought it was a local issue. Then I'd look up somewhere distant like Dallas, Jacksonville, or Minneapolis and the stories were the same there too.

This is the correct answer. Best Chinese food and some of the best food period in town.

Sounds like Tucker “just asking questions” Carlson

Hah, good work!

Do it where you go. I just moved back from to RI from CO and I know the pain. I mostly go hiking, camping or climbing in New Hampshire so I always set some time aside to go the outfitters there. Small outdoor enthusiast towns will have the best prices. Look in Lincoln or Conway

My favorite is from Sal’s on Chalkstone - they offer red and white pizza strips.

If Warwick's not too far, Brewed Awakenings is a good spot.

Outdoor Gear Exchange, I think? Loved it and plan to go back this summer.

I've lived in RI for 27 years. I lived in both Maine and NY and I love RI so much more than those places. I adore it!

That being said, I would never eat one of those gross looking things.

Dunno. It's looking like being former Housing Secretary is pretty sweet. Guy gets fired for not hitting any of his performance metrics in his first year, then gets hired right back as a consultant at a pay rate one-third higher than before, and is probably there indefinitely, no term limits ☹️

Wait where was GoLocal on this? previousfloor?

Being the number one scumbag in Rhode Island is seemingly an incredibly difficult venture yet Paolino always manages to anoint himself with the crown lol.

red door’s sliders are rad

There is some interesting scholarship that points to Columbus being Portuguese.

>This is a form of you have no perspective at all and are irrationally afraid of what you don't understand.

"Hey it's safer than St. Louis!" is not acceptable.

You're the guy who eats frogs, right?

Moved here from CO. I also need the consignment gear fix. In the meantime there’s: R/geartrade
