Wide multi-lane roads like North Main Street are extremely dangerous and should not be used anywhere you expect there to be pedestrians. The UK has some of the worlds least deadly roads, both per capita and per vehicle miles traveled. Almost nowhere in the entire country (at least as far as I’ve seen) will you find multi-lane roads. Pretty much every road is either a motorway (which are only for motor vehicles) or a narrow local road/street.
Most North American multi-lane roads, especially in RI, were originally widened so there could be a car lane and a streetcar lane, but when we abandoned the streetcars the extra lanes were kept, to be used by cars. This created more traffic, and made the roads unpleasant both for walking and driving. If you expect people to cross a road, making it multiple lanes in each direction pretty much guarantees people will die on it, and traffic engineers know this. These types of roads should not exist

Not local but the best NA beer I've found is Clausthaler Dry Hopped. It was the only one that tasted like real beer. There might be better ones now but I've no idea. Gave up drinking (real and NA) 3 years ago.

It’s not in providence. But shaidzon brewery in Kingston near URI has three different NA beers on the menu.

It starts with police actually enforcing traffic laws instead of turning a blind eye.

Sounds more like a prostitution situation than a Valentine's date. He picked her up at an agreed upon location and then went to park somewhere. Presumably an isolated area.

The Avery has a good selection on NA beers, and also mocktails.

You need to defensively walk in this fing place. Walking around “rush hour” (impatient npcs race to get home) is suicidal.

Everyone is distracted. I was out in the city walking a few dogs last week and literally every car that passed us the driver was doing something that wasn't looking at the road. This included city workers and police officers. I even saw some school bus drivers almost take out a few cars.

I'd like to build on this question, does anyone know anywhere that sells pre-rolled?

This isn't a brewery or taproom, but the Athletic Brewing NA beers are actually pretty good. They sell them at a lot of stores now – I've seen them at Whole Foods and I think even Shaw's. Almost every liquor store carries them. They make different types, too (sours, wheat beers, IPAs, etc).

North main is just too much like a highway, needs a road diet. Throw in light rail while we're at it.

At least she didn't steal his ❤️. He got off cheap.

if you’re trying to stay in the neighborhood, bayberry has a few NAs available usually. not always on draft but definitely in cans. within the city there aren’t any places brewing their own NA though. if you’re able to get outside the city, Origin Beer Project specializes in low abv brews so if you want to go that route they’re the best.

I really enjoy Caroline’s in Uxbridge but Slater is minutes from my house so I go there despite the limited selection compared to Caroline’s. Slayers drive through is cool though.

I’ve assumed it was highway construction but then saw previous comments about scrap ships in the port. I didn’t think of that and I guess it makes sense — but wouldn’t it sound more like crashing noises? This sounds more like deep droning noises from where I am.
I noticed it at midnight and then again at two, as well as times in the past.
Nowhere near the same, but waking up to that sound reminds me of this part in War of the Worlds 😱https://youtu.be/xr10zBblEw0

Mother Earth for the selection and customer service Slater unfortunately has little selection and terrible customer service
