Understood, and that's what they told me when I first called to get takeout several years ago. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let the customer decide if it was worth it or not, and instead chose to limit their business to dine-in only. I ponder if there would be that much deterioration of the noodles if they put them in a separate container from the broth as Wara-Wara does.

A lot of ramen places don’t do takeout because the quality of the meal (noodles specifically) changes so much when not served fresh

This is ridiculous fearmongering.

There are parts of Elmwood which have higher populations of poor people, thus have higher incidence of certain types of crime. Like most other neighborhoods in which this is the case, if you are minding your own business and not Involved in buying or selling drugs, etc, nobody is going to bother you.

Also this is not all of Elmwood. My street and the one mile radius around me is full of 300-500k houses and families. It’s gorgeous and well maintained and there are kids and families out walking around all of the time.

You’re just as likely to get mugged walking around the east side late at night as you are on the south side.

The reason to live on the west end is that it’s closer walking distance to places you might want to go out. But it’s also increasingly expensive. You can easily spend Boston or NYC money to live there. And personally, I wonder why I would do that it I can live for 30% less a few minutes down the road.

If the goal is get the bus from one stop to the next the quickest, then the bus driver fucked up. Instead of waiting 4 seconds for the car to pass the parked cars, the bus effectively is waiting a full minute.

The bus fucked up. It's not complicated.

I’m pretty sure Saki’s regularly fails inspections too so

The problem's right there in the bus's destination sign:

RIPTA.com/jobs

No, because the bus is across an intersection before OP enters the road—the “road” in this case referring to the single stretch of the street between those two blocks.

In any event, you proved OP’s point here by pointing that 1) the bus was across the intersection when OP entered the road, and 2) that the bus had the room to let OP by prior to blocking him in.

As far as the bus having to back up, technically that would be the case. However, I actually think OP did the smart thing by backing up, because yes, by that point, it was safer for them to do so than the bus since the latter clearly had no intention of doing so. Having said that, OP doing the smart thing does NOT mean it wasn’t the buses fault to begin with.

Maybe it’s “completely obvious” to someone who has no common sense and should probably take driver’s ed again.

Didn't see the sub. Legitimately thought this was posted in r/idiotsInCars and said, "Hey, that's RI driving right there."

The bus should have right of way regardless of the number of passengers. The car in the OP video is the one that drives the entire street length knowing there is no way forward lol.

You can see starting at like 6s into the video we might after the car turns that the bus is through the intersection.

The bus is already through the intersection and the OP keeps driving straight towards it lol. There is no interpretation of this video where the bus is in the wrong.

They do, saw them last week. Also Sin Bakery, I believe Wrights Farm, and try Seven Stars.

The bus was navigating around another car in the middle of the intersection when the OP enters the road lol. It's pretty obvious staring at like 5s into the video that the car in the OP is in the wrong for driving the entire length of the road knowing there is no way forward.

Wild you think the bus should be the one backing up?

That’s about when he texted me! I looked at my phone and it seems like the gunshots were before 8:30 PM

That road should either only have one side parking or be a one-way. Removing parking always gets someone mad but removing parking benefits more people like 99% of the time. Especially if that speeds up transit operations.

I don't think so, as I never heard or saw an ambulance.

RISD Museum, snack your way around downtown: Jewelery District, Wickenden, Federal Hill. Maybe hop a bus down to Roger Williams Park.

That doesn’t make any sense…are we watching the same video?

OP is proceeding down what is effectively a single-lane road prior to the bus entering said road. It was the bus driver’s responsibility to make sure they had a clear path before crossing the intersection, which they did not. The car is already in the road and has the right-of-way, which is what this post is about.

These are very simple rules of the road. No wonder we suck at driving in this state. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Anyone get hit or die?

That bus had 5 seconds to spare to let the car through. Took longer to make them reverse to get through.

They found the casings by my neighbors car! It was super loud. Heard a car speed off too right after. May or may not have dropped to the floor in my kitchen.

Ok, what if the bus has zero passengers? Is it a tie then? This is shitty logic. The bus could've waited a few seconds to clear the room. Proceeding forward and forcing an oncoming car to back up nearly the entire length of the street is not the way this should've gone.

I would do the same when it makes sense, but the bus should've probably waited a few seconds and not made a person back up like 200 ft. I'm not sure if the bus driver either didn't look (yikes) or is just kind of an asshole

This is my fear! That I’ll arrive and not leave - I can already feel it’s magic. Thank you for the suggestions!

Good to know that the travel blogs aren’t exaggerating it’s walkability.

Lasalle used to sell them! They might still. I bought it there a few years ago.
