Brown and College Hill developers can’t do anything right in the eyes of the CHNA and Helen Anthony.

“We want fewer students in our neighborhoods!” Okay, then we’ll build a dorm on Brook Street. “No! It’s too tall!” Okay, we’ll build more apartments on Thayer(where it’s already loud as hell) to concentrate students away from your mansions. “No! Still too close!”

People want the property values that come with living near Brown without dealing with the downsides of living next to any university in America. Wonder why they moved there in the first place

I understand the notion of PVD being BCN, but there are a lot of dynamics that would change the way this city looks in comparison.

I think that an inclusive supportive environment for the arts, including the blue collar industries that would benefit from some of the creativity that is born out of some art forms, is important in seeing a vibrant Providence.

What programs would you want to support that would allow us to continue this dynamic?

I don’t have any restaurant recommendations for you, but if your boyfriend lives in New England, check out https://www.nefoodallergy.org

They have offices in West Hartford, CT and Quincy, MA. My son did the protocols for peanuts and treenuts at the CT office when he was in high school. After the initial visit, one goes back every two weeks to up-dose, so if you have to travel, it’s not too bad.

It’s not a cure but it is life-changing in that he no longer has to worry about cross-contamination. As long as a meal doesn’t contain peanuts or treenuts, he’s good! We can go to restaurants without pre-planning everything these days.
