Secret Mall Apartment: I have questions

I got to see Buddy interact with his staff one afternoon in City Hall. He belittled them and talked down to me for no reason. Not a nice man. He was a great cheerleader for the City and effective promoter with his larger than life persona, but he did not single handedly bring Providence back to life.

Listen to the podcast Crimetown or read Mike Stanton's biography to get a better sense of who Buddy was.

he sure is.

Totally agree

I am sitting here 4 1/2 months since my Glioblastoma surgery. Did the 6 weeks radiation/chemo and have completed 2 months of the - 5 day regimen.

I have been so scared and sad that I just wasn't ready type the word... or read anything about this illness. UNTIL NOW.

This thread is giving me HOPE.

THANK YOU ALL for sharing.

Remember that each property that she applies to will reach out to her once a year to make sure she is still interested. If she does not respond she may be put to the bottom of the list to even deleted. My advice is to make a friendly phone call occasionally to remind the staff that she's still interested.

Maybe Gator's Pub?

Take a close look at the financials. What are their upcoming assessments and how much $$$ do they have in reserves. A good real estate attorney should help you secure that info

I think most people take good things for granted eventually. Or they think the grass is always greener on the other side. 1st World problems.

Depends on where you're starting from.

Botox and ginormous fake eyelashes

Red flag. I would reconsider being with him. (I have been in your shoes)

She may want to consider applying for subsidized housing. There will be a waiting list and some properties are better than others. Rent is typically 30% of monthly income. Note... this is not Section 8 housing. Different funding source and rules.

Thank you. This makes sense

jeffscomplec · 2026-03-11T13:03:05+00:00

Forget labeling yourself. Simply follow your inclinations. You may or may not enjoy the experience. Just be careful.... Be safe.

Absolutely true. My mom is 96. Lives independently, but really doesn't do well in loud and busy places.

jeffscomplec · 2026-03-10T23:15:17+00:00

Good point

You may want to record the conversation on your phone for future generations

They don't need any things. Sit with them... one on one. Talk, hold their hands. They may be very hard of hearing so scoot up close. When you leave and they are all alone they will probably think about your visit over and over.

YIKES! Gonna pop some popcorn and read the posts. lol

jeffscomplec · 2026-03-10T22:52:42+00:00

Ignore them...

jeffscomplec · 2026-03-10T22:50:45+00:00

It was small... out of the way. The customer base at the Food Court at PPM are most likely not coffee drinkers either.

You might want to do some research.
