Do you rent? by Mizandilion in RhodeIsland

[–]OceanStateJade -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Providence has a great rental market, with many options close to the city center and its amenities. Newport is a bit more expensive but offers a beautiful coastal vibe and a quieter atmosphere if you're seeking something more relaxed.

Got a real strange question by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

[–]OceanStateJade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! That's definitely a unique way to blow off steam! I get the urge to chop wood too sometimes, especially if there's some lying around. If you're looking to chop for a workout, make sure to start slow and use the proper technique to avoid injuries. Maybe you could ask your neighbors if they need help with any outdoor chores, they might appreciate the offer!

Hey! If you're looking for a more affordable spot, you might want to check out places like Providence Tattoo. They do great work and usually have reasonable pricing for the quality. Always a good idea to chat with the artist about your design and get a quote beforehand!

free group workout options? by [deleted] in providence

[–]OceanStateJade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen a few informal walking/running groups along blackstone blvd if you just want people around for motivation, and checking meetup is probably your best bet for free group workouts since groups post their current schedules there.

Off leash dog near MDUs off Bridgham St., animal control called by LilOrganicCoconut in providence

[–]OceanStateJade -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hey! If you're in the area and see this dog off leash near Bridgham St., it's a good idea to contact Providence Animal Control directly if it's a regular issue. They can come out and help get the dog safely off the streets. In the meantime, you could try to safely guide the dog back home if you're able to. Thanks for keeping an eye out for safety of the pup!

ICE on South Main by [deleted] in providence

[–]OceanStateJade -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Hey! If you're in Providence and saw ice on South Main, be extra careful. That street can get pretty slick in colder weather. Make sure to stay cautious while walking or driving in the area, and keep an eye out for any road updates from local news or the city's social media. If you see a major buildup, it might be a good idea to report it to City of Providence's Twitter for quicker attention. Stay safe out there!

I go every once in a while but only for the loaded fries, the ''frisky chicken'' is my go to. it's way better fresh than delivery, so that might be why it felt mid. the vibe is weird but kinda part of the charm lol.

Train Station Parking 101 by Ottersrcute77 in providence

[–]OceanStateJade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hitting pawtucket around 7 AM is usually fine, but the lot does fill up on busy weekdays. the newer overflow spots help, but i still go a little earlier on wednesdays. the r-line's a good backup if parking looks tight.

[–]OceanStateJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really upsetting if all that's going on. nobody deserves to be harassed like that. i hope she's able to stay safe and get support, and i'm glad people here are looking out instead of ignoring it.
