I'd also recommend getting in contact with the folks at Providence Bike Collective, great people and the new shop space on Sims Ave is awesome! Even if you end up getting your bike at RAB or Craigslist or wherever, you can always bring it to PBC during their open shop hours (Thursdays 6-8pm only currently) if you have any questions or concerns about your new ride. They've got tools, bike stands, and knowledgeable people around to help you with all the basics.

Also once you get your new bike, come thru to Providence Bike Jam! It's a monthly group party ride around the city (@pvdbikejam on Instagram for details). The next one is this Friday, meeting at Burnside Park at 6:30pm!

That’s only true if rent is subsidized in a market with private owners. Which, granted, that’s what is going to happen.

But it is REALLY important to point out that the state could own the housing and set the price and it would theoretically have the opposite effect.

But aren’t you just assuming that will be the case here too?

If you’d like to find out more reach out to us at Reclaim RI. We’re a volunteer led org and always looking for more help to make social housing a reality in Rhode Island

Providence bike may have something within that range, they do new & used.

Nordstrom Cafe was one of my favorite places in PVD. Good food, excellent service and a great view of the State House and the East Side off in the distance.

It's confusing, it says it's separate but then it also references the Mass set up where it's actually just a partnership and Level 99 is the sole business

I’d have a Pied-a-Terre on Broadway, and a home on Loring Ave.

Then of course my clubhouse in the Geneva Mills pump house on the West River (Douglas).

I went there for the first time since Covid about a week and a half ago to park for a P Bruins game (it was a Saturday) and I was actually shocked how busy it was. I can't vouch for how many people were shopping or just moving through but there was a bunch of people.

I restore bikes by taking them apart completely. I have a Specialized bike available for sale in your budget. PM me if interested.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather just order from a place that has been doing this for many years and has perfected it. Simple and quick.

I don't want to scour the internet for recipes, go to the grocery store and buy a whole bunch of ingredients (typically in portion sizes that are way more than you'll ever need), come home and start experimenting and hoping it comes out ok. And regardless of the outcome, I'll either be eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner the next day...or throwing it away. Who wants to eat the same thing for days. Waste of time and money.

It says they’re separate if you read it closely. (Not being snarky.)

30% will be for affordable housing and the rest would be market value. When rent gets subsidized it goes up not down

Bold take shittng on tradesmen who do backbreaking and often dangerous work for requiring a bare-minimum level of training and holding people to the standard. I'm sure we'd all prefer if everytime a basement floods some stranger gets a three month paid vacation and a kudos for helping to keep the water-users in their place.

I think I read years ago that there was a company that sold fountains branded as Bubbler based out of Wisconsin and for whatever reason the brand name stuck in RI vernacular. Like Kleenex vs tissue.

Feels like a misleading title, a Level 99 is opening in Providence Place that happens to have ties to Night Shift

That is going to be fogo de chao

There’s been construction activity in the former Joe’s American Bar and Grill space, which was empty for… seven years? I wonder if this is what’s going in.

I support any policy that creates more housing

Cool. I like their spot near the Garden in Boston and have hit up some of their beer gardens around too.

I assume they'll be taking over one of the front facing first floor units near cvs.

Actual mountain bike or just a hybrid with front shocks?

Those used to go new at dicks for like 4 to 500 bucks. As long as you have basic maintenance knowledge and some tools, you should be able to get it to last a while.

I’m excited. I feel like providence place has been struggling for a few years. I don’t go as often anymore since Nordstrom’s closed a few years ago

Awesome, love night shift

The mall needs more cool shit like this
