And one of them was called desire.

Not in Providence, but Baxter's in Warwick is great!

Definitely seemed to me like he took the fall for the administration’s failure and got a swanky position for doing so

I feel like it's being lost in the conversation that no modern American has an issue with Columbus because he was Italian.

The negative sentiment exists because Columbus was, charitably, a somewhat careless credit-stealer who failed upward and ended up way out of his depth, whose major claim to fame was accomplished by someone else 500 years prior.

Less charitably, he was a ruthless mercenary colonizer blinded by the promise of wealth whose exploration directly led to hundreds of years of oppression and subjugation that some have termed a genocide.

The recasting of Columbus as an Italian Hero doesn't jive with a modern understanding of his role in America's history.

Do we normally get more snow? This is my first winter here and at first I thought the lack of snow was because we're on the coast.

RIP malachis 😭

He didn't come up with this idea. The Italian American Anti Defamation League started a national Columbus campaign nearly a hundred years ago. Back then, Italians weren't considered white and were discriminated against across the nation. Someone decided that pitching Columbus as a white explorer who discovered these lands would help bigots embrace Italians. It kind of worked. But that was then and this is now.

I’m just amazed by the 65 degree difference in temperature between this Friday and last. Is that a record?

Poindexter at the Biltmore is really good. There's plenty of space with lots of tables, or you can just take your coffee and go sit in the hotel lobby.

dont listen to him!

At least it sounds like you’re immune to bullets now

Copacetic on Peck St. downtown is great. Try giving them a call.

Kinda wanna see the steel yard get it and watch their classes tear it apart and mold it into something new. PVD should donate it to the BIPOC class they run.

"Dear sub: I'm moving to Providence from Ohio ...WHAT'S THE SAFEST NEIGHBORHOOD?"

Cooler, but warmer. So lame, but it’s facking accurate.

What a bummer! I haven't been in several months, but the last couple times we got takeout, it was not the best. I chalked it up to being takeout rather than dine-in, but maybe they're going downhill. Their Korean wings are still bomb though!

I bought my wedding band at the Diamond Bar on wickenden and they cleaned my engagement ring for free and offered to do so again before the wedding. Sabrina is one of the owners and she is lovely!

Honestly, I was going more for the New York Times.

True since crugnale bakery folded. RIP.

So strange that he didn’t post this article himself, considering his very genuine interest in local crime.

Its almost like he ignores info that doesn’t fit the Mainstream Media narrative he wants to believe!

Chengdu Taste might have the best food in the world. If aliens came to Earth and gave us one chance to convince them not to destroy our planet, I would give them a plate of Ma Po Tofu from Chengdu Taste.
