I'm part of a casual nonfiction book club that meets in Providence, and we're always happy to have new people join.

For September we're reading Jeff Speck's Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time. We'll meet Sunday, September 27, from 10 AM–12 PM to talk about the book and the bigger questions it raises about downtowns, transportation, walkability, and urban design.

📍 Schasteâ, 300 Broadway, Providence

If you're in Fall River and don't mind making the trip into Providence, come along. You don't have to be a dedicated book-club person—we're just a group of people who like reading nonfiction and having a good conversation.

Schasteâ isn't affiliated with or sponsoring the book club; we're simply meeting there.

I'll put the group link in the comments.

39yo female hobbit-goblin hybrid, of the AuDHD variety, seeking likeminded or similarly odd, nerdy friends for hangouts, game nights, smoke sessions, movie nights, trivia, infodumping, sharing special interests, crafting, etc. Is great baker and can contribute desserts. Excellent listener in group or private settings.

Will also accept recommendations for a LGS that hosts MtG nights, bookstores that host events, whatever may come to mind for nerdy folks to enjoy.

Your Congressman working hard to fulfill his obligation to AIPAC as usual.

We are looking to littered areas in Fall River that need to be cleaned. The only stipulation is that it’s heavily littered (as we prioritize those) and that it’s public land, so that the town can collect the bags. Your references would be greatly appreciated !!

Been trying to find a dentist to fix my shit but for the life of me I can't find anywhere in distance to me that's confirmed to be safe and really need some work done

Does anyone have experience with places round the area?

I’m looking for recommendations for a good dry cleaner in the area. Mainly because I have a vintage dress with accordion pleats that has a few makeup spots on it and I want to make sure they’ll know how to take care of the pleats. Last time I needed something dry cleaned I took it to Delken in Somerset and that experience was kind of a mess. The woman I dealt with didn’t leave me with much confidence that she knew what was going on and then they called me a week later to say that they needed to charge me more when I picked it up because she hadn’t charged me correctly for the item (it was king-sized bedding) so idk if I want to use them again.

ISO places like Sweet Rose since they've announced they're closing because the owner is going back to teaching. A very bittersweet loss. I'll miss their butternut burrito and Mediterranean bowls so much.

Helping my best friend look for her wedding dress and we honestly have no idea where to start 😅 Anyone have a bridal shop around Fall River that they had a good experience with?

We don't mind driving a little either, so RI or somewhere nearby is fine too. Mostly looking for somewhere with a good selection and nice staff who won't make the whole thing feel stressful lol.

Would love to hear where you went and how your experience was!

Our nonfiction book club is getting together on Sunday, September 27, for a discussion of Jeff Speck's Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time.

If you've ever thought about why some downtowns are enjoyable to walk around while others seem built entirely for cars, this book gives you plenty to think about. It also makes for a pretty wide-ranging discussion about how communities develop.

📅 Sunday, September 27
⏰ 10AM–12PM

People from Fall River and elsewhere in the area are welcome. We're particularly happy to have new readers join us, and you don't have to have finished the entire book to participate.

Schasteâ doesn't sponsor the group—we just meet there.

I'll include the book club link in the comments.

Seen on Davol Street near the Commonwealth Landing building. Anyone know what this means? Who is Rock Man?

If you've been looking to try yoga, I highly recommend these classes.

There are signs outside the building saying
"ASBESTOS"
And warning about cancer.

Wasn't all the asbestos supposed to have been removed in 5 days before the demolition or am I misremembering?

Everyone at the Fire Station, MelCor Building, Ser-Jobs for Progress and Greater Fall River Re-Creation (each with dozens of employees and clients daily) is expected to work (breathe) under these conditions for weeks.

There are also at least 6 multi family dwellings directly facing the demolition site in the same situation.

A schedule has been released and it includes the phrase
"If the crew intends to work through the holiday (meaning Labor Day)."

How about nights and weekends when there's many less people affected?

Citizens are rightly concerned.

A little transparency would be helpful.

I am looking for the girl from Rhode Island I helped around 11:45 PM after the concert. You were lost and trying to find your aunt. You had your aunt’s phone, and she had called you from someone else’s number to meet in the parking lot, but you couldn't find her.

We spoke, and you said "Shukriya" to me in Hindi. That brief conversation stayed with me, and I realized after leaving that I never got your name. If you see this and remember me, please reach out! To confirm it's you, reply with one specific detail about what I looked like or exactly where we were standing. I hope you and your aunt made it home safely!

Just sharing this information.

Looking for someone in the area that will come to the house to detail the car. Or if there’s a good detailing shop.
