Wear comfortable walking shoes. Benefit Street, RISD Museum, Athenaeum, Brown campus (maybe those big old magnolia trees are in bloom), Prospect Terrace, Wickenden Street, India Point to see water? Eat Dune Brothers on the pedestrian bridge.

Nah, that bus just has to wait a few seconds for you to pass, instead of making you reverse down a busy street. I would have waited. Normally I give busses, trucks, delivery people etc the benefit and let them pass, but that was an asshole driver

Read the very first comment in this thread; that’s the context in which I made my reply. They can be reckless, as that comment points out. Drive around Providence for any extended period of time and you’ll see RIPTAs routinely run red lights, stop signs, disobey crosswalk laws, etc.

This particular instance involved using the size of the bus to bully someone out of the way. I wouldn’t call it “reckless,” but it’s definitely idiotic and unwarranted.

There is no way that Hope should be allowed double side parking on the block between Wheeler (Angell) and the Brown gym/rink (Lloyd). The shoulder there literally is not wide enough for cars on the west side of the street, yet people park anyways. If the city tried to take it away you’d have everyone pissed, brown kids who drive to the gym (lol), wheeler parents, etc. They all have $$ and status, so squeeze down Hope Street we do.

Yeah, typically if I go into a place and discover that it employees fascist cult members I wouldn’t give them my money again, and I would be glad to know places that do so so I can avoid them when possible and feasible.

If a shop had a whites only sign out front, I wouldn’t give them any money, and if they had a Q flag out front, I wouldn’t give them any money. Why this is difficult for some people to understand, might say more about them than the behavior of people wanting to avoid these establishments
