Agreed. I don't hold it against PVD.

No, that's allowed by state law. There's a pretty low limit of how much they can sell per person (last I knew). I believe it is the lowest limit in the country.

I know, just saw a similar post in the Boston sub as well. So many aspects of cities in general that I love, but shit like this does come with the territory. I'm moving to a more suburban area of RI after 5 years here.

"Patalano said the driver of the dirt bike and his passenger were rushed to Rhode Island Hospital where both were later pronounced dead. "

FAFO

Nature is healing 💚

I colorized it because I got nothing better to do. Here ya go: https://imgur.com/a/9G2chB9

this is definitely not just a providence only thing, just a weird new trend happening across the country

It’s not sad at all - its a completely logical outcome.

This isn't exclusive to Providence. It goes on in many cities, I think. Boston and Philly definitely.

Agreed. Last year was so busy that I spent more time waiting in line for things than anything. I can’t even imagine it with more people.

Just had my third meal at Res, and it’s been a joy every time.

That dirtbag ATV driving loser Shyanne Boisvert who was arrested for assault was white as can be

What if I told you it was a colloquialism that you almost never heard once you’re out of elementary school?

I love this city, but this here is one reason I'm happy to be moving in a week. After that woman was dragged from her car and beaten a couple summers ago after merely honking at them, I fear for my safety from these idiots in more ways than one.

There are some others too. I just can’t remember off the top of my head. I believe it’s 9 licenses total.

Titled barn, Linesider, 12 guns, vigilante, ragged island and moniker all have wholesale licenses. Going with a traditional distributor eliminates 2/3rds of a breweries margin. If this were to pass these breweries would be crippled, not to mention they would fire their entire wholesale teams.

The alternative would be to crack down and arrest those breaking laws…little known fact:the drivers of these vehicles are often armed with illegal firearms. I’ve had one pulled on me by them multiple times. Scumbags, lock em up

Exactly

Bunch of idiots. The motorcycle crash that left 2 dead last night happened right outside my window. I can only imagine these people will have the same fate

I was under the same impression. The language of the legislation makes it sound like they are trying to prevent breweries from starting or owning their own distribution companies. It comes across more like they are trying to block breweries from self distributing rather than taking away an existing right. Admittedly it's early and I haven't had my coffee yet so maybe there's something I'm missing.

To be clear, I'm opposed to this legislation either way (the Three Tier System is a relic that hurts consumers and small businesses and needs to be done away with), but some additional clarity would be helpful.

Yep.

2 dead in Cranston dirt bike crash

I think it means direct to customer sales. Like buying cans to go while you're at the brewery.

Not scared. The policy from the city is to let them be because it would be racist to stop thier criminal behavior.
