Posts like these are good for letting idiots out themselves. Q cultists are a weird bunch

Reply to comment by JMS79 in Are there any Baltimore or Pittsburgh area transplants living in the Providence area? We are considering moving and I have some questions! by marissarae
I commuted to Baltimore a bit for a hotel project I worked on. This answer makes me so happy to hear you are happy with your move here so far. Welcome!

My biggest pet peeve is that many people don't understand 4-Way stops.
It's especially annoying when riding a bike. I know the rules and I follow them. Don't stop to let me go. Do your job. I'll do mine.
Oh wait. Don't take a left turn that blocks traffic! If you have a line behind you and no opening in sight, bite the bullet and go straight. It will take you an extra minute, but save several fellow drivers several minutes - each.

I'd suggest looking through some of the similar threads here. There's some great info out there, already.
I like walking, as suggested above. I start near the Pedestrian Bridge. From there, you can do the river walk or Benefit Street or Fox Point or the Jewelry District.
If here on Saturday, go to Hope Farmers Market. If here on Sunday, go to The Flea, and the RISD museum (free on Sundays).
Get a coffee, get a slice of pizza, get a beer or get a cocktail, depending on your tastes.
I did all that 10 years ago, and ended up buying a house here. I've never regretted that move.

I didn’t downvote anything they said till now. Typical “that’s your opinion, man” stuff, but that just went mask off.

I believe that there is a Maine rest stop nearby. So you can visit both in one exit. I love a good rest stop on a long road trip.

Nice. I've never seen it from above. But I was lucky to visit when the store was there. I don't use them to navigate in my car anymore, but I still have several Delorme atlases.

Real talk though, why can nothing ever stay in that little plaza?

My advice is to ditch your car and walk everywhere. Providence's beauty is in the details, stop often and appreciate your surroundings.

Yeah public allowed at least when I went pre-covid. Had driven past it a million times on road trips to visit my grandparents in Maine, finally actually stopped to visit a few years ago. There was a security guard, but we just told him we wanted to check out the glove and he showed us to the elevator for the best view.

One side parking all over the east side would be an improvement. (Not literal entire east side but strategic use of it. Ie Ives. Between wheeler and the brown gym. Many side streets around rochambeau).

You were almost out of there when that bus just decided "Nope! Not today." That part of Ives is always terrible and the bus loves just heading straight down. I wonder if making parking on only one side would be a possibility

I can't believe you made it down almost that entire street and missed all those opportunities to double-park.

Not surprised tbh. I think I recognize the server and they’re related to the owner I’m pretty sure. I stopped giving business to this place when I found out the owner was taking the servers’ tips.

You’re better off in New Haven.
You won’t have any form of public transportation after a night out as RIPTA ends before midnight, and you genuinely wouldn’t want to be drunk and on a RIPTA bus with the locals who use it as a hangout spot.
You’re honestly better off living in Westerly. You’re commute will be less, and the actual quality of life will be dramatically better.

An employee was wearing a Q sweatshirt who gives a fuck. Now your gonna boycott the store? just don't even come out of your house if a sweatshirt is gonna offend you, good god your so weak minded. Posting this just goes to show how vicious this subreddit is to any outside views that don't align with MSNBC. OMG look its a person who doesn't agree with my politics.. Get the Pitchforks. "Everyone who is woke must be warned to stay out of Saki's pizza because they have thoughts and opinions that I don't like." This is what I hear when I see this post.

Why wouldn’t you tell the manager or something instead of never going back lol? They probably didn’t even know she had it on or even knew what it was. I wouldn’t have known that’s what it was until reading this post.
