Cause providence is tiny and has minimal options

No one is recasting him as a hero today. That was done by Italian Americans a lifetime ago and it was an effective strategy. Modern Americans have a much broader understanding of history and humanity than was commonly available back then. That was then, this is now.

I asked a pretty direct question. Which option would you prefer?
Any "recommendations" post is asking people their preference. For fuck's sake, that's what a recommendation is

Lasalle doesn’t do Boston cream pies. You can find Boston cream pie cakes there or at Whole Foods.
But if you’re looking for an actual pie, you might be better off making it yourself. It’s not a common item and most bakeries only make them during the holiday season.

I consider "Providence" to really mean "Providence Metro Area" in most situations.

Reply to comment by Psychological_Tune53 in Worst winter ever 🙄 by [deleted]
We don’t get as much as northern New England or even most of Massachusetts because of our proximity to the coast, but we usually get a handful of storms every winter. Other than last weekend when it was jarringly cold, this whole winter has felt much more like spring. It’s pretty unnerving. I keep waiting for the temps to drop for good, but…nope!

well then you would specify that in your post wouldn’t you? and it seems as though this is not ever the case, it’s just commenters leaving their preference rather than answering the question.

I'd maybe check with LaSalle bakery? I have no direct experience but they get recommended enough where it's worth a phone call to check.

FWIW platinum is easily cleaned in a solution of cold water and ammonia in a 1:1 ratio. Let it sit for 30 minutes and use a soft bristle toothbrush for residual tarnish. My wedding band stays blindingly shiny :) (I clearly have no jeweler recommendations - happy hunting!)

Nah dag, the Bus lines stop immediately at the Providence border. I, for one, have absolutely never taken a bus off of Reservoir in Cranston and made it into Providence /s

Let's say you want a good or service that just isn't available in Providence, but there's a couple of options within 10-15 miles in Cranston, Warwick, Johnston, Attleboro, and Seekonk.
Would you prefer
- Nobody answers or a bunch of "I don't knows"
- Being told you can't get that good or service
- Being told the options that do exist, even though they're a little further away

and the post in which i made that suggestion did not specifically mention providence in any way. your reading comprehension is, shockingly poor.

Is there a word for being glad that it's not cold, but simultaneously being reminded of your crushing climate change anxiety?

But then we'd be deprived of delicious irony like the same poster recommending a place in Cranston in this sub literally yesterday.

i’ve been pretty direct this entire time that i’m speaking plainly about posts asking specifically for providence recommendations. either you’re being intentionally obtuse or you truly don’t understand my meaning. so of your options, i would prefer the second then. if i were asking for something specifically in the city and the good or service was unavailable here i would want to be told that, because it would be the correct information.
