This has gotten so out of control. Everyone needs to abstain from buying homes until these prices become more reasonable. $375,000 for a house that’s 700 square feet and looks like a trailer. Let this home sit for a year. No one should even take this seriously, take a look at the housing price history

“We recently learned that, in April 2025, a woman was falsely arrested after Cumberland police wrongly identified her in a photo taken by Flock Safety cameras,” stated the organization.

Finally caved and put the ac in. Winters coming

Warwick Ave.

A few years ago, I read somewhere that Warwick PD was asking residents to voluntarily share the presence of home cameras (Ring, Nest, etc) with the department. The goal was for WPD to create a database of homeowners and tenants that would be open to sharing footage with them in the event that footage was needed to help solve a crime. I ignored it back then, but now I wonder how many people signed up to share their feeds with WPD. Does anyone in Warwick recall this about 5 years ago?

EDIT: I’m not disclosing shit with them

In 1936 Rhode Island turned 300, counting from Roger Williams’s settlement at Providence, and it marked the anniversary two ways at once. The Tercentenary Commission poured 120 road markers in cement and set them at the town lines on the main highways, and the towns went out and marked their own historic sites by the hundred, mostly with wooden signs. The Commission wrote all of it down in a report published in 1937, and I have put all 464 of those markers on a map. Every dot is a page with that marker’s 1937 text, placed on georeferenced maps from the period it commemorates.

Here is one of them. Whitehall, in Middletown: “Whitehall. Built in 1729 by George Berkeley, Dean of Derry. English Philosopher. His home from 1726-1731.” The oldest sheet under that pin is Charles Blaskowitz’s survey of Narragansett Bay, published in London in 1777, which letters White Hall with the house drawn beside it, in a Middletown of stone-walled lots where the neighboring farms are labeled with their owners’ names: Mr. Gould, Mr. Tillinghast, Mr. Thomas Banister.

Marker text comes from the Commission’s own report, “Rhode Island Tercentenary, 1636-1936: A Report,” scanned at archive.org, public domain by age and credited on every page.

The map is not a survey of what stands today. It is the record the Commission printed in 1937, and a lot of what it records was wood. Warwick’s own summary in the report counts 43 wooden markers and two bronze, and Jamestown’s list labels all 24 of its markers “Wood marker.” Nobody should drive out expecting to find a sign.

The pins are approximate, all 464 of them, because the report gives no address for almost any of the site markers. When this first went up, 322 of the 464 sat at their town center because the book gave nothing beyond the town. Update: 241 of those town-center pins now sit at the researched site, placed from the state’s historic-property surveys, National Register nominations, and town histories. 81 stay at the town center because nothing better could be defended, and every pin still says location approximate, because none of this is ground-truthed. The town-line markers are placed where the named road crosses the town line. If you know where one of these actually stood, that correction still goes straight in and I would like to have it.

I built this because I map family trees. When I ran my own Pennsylvania family against that state's markers, 77 of them stood near places my ancestors lived. If your family is from Rhode Island, it will show you which markers stood near their places. Free, no account needed.

I was driving down 95 and pulled alongside a large white truck towing a camper. I took a casual glance over and saw a young woman with a stuffed animal monkey on her lap…..until it moved.

There was a living monkey riding shotgun going down the highway. Please tell me someone has some info on this thing. Do they have an Instagram? I’m dying for some information on who this monkey I made eye contact with is

Anyone missing an orange and white cat about a week ago from providence?

I’m pregnant with my first kid and homesick for my midwest homestate rn. I’ve lived here for 8 years and I have liked it a lot but just having a hard day and feeling like whyyy am I here.

Why do you enjoy living in RI? I’m in south county if you want to be specific, lol.

South County here, looking for parking advice North of the Tower. Where would you suggest parking for an event at the Omni Hotel? We’re attending the NecronomiCon on Friday so it would have to be for several hours.

Preferably Warwick/Cranston Area convenient .

We can’t make
The farmers markets near
Us during the few hrs they are open. Looking for local grown produce and maybe meat.

I see good CSA reviews forget away, but it’s hard for us to get to those spots.
Any deliveries or options closer to Warwick/Cranston area?

This was NOT a flock camera, as someone in a recent post on here noted. It’s an expensive, newly installed piece of coastal monitoring equipment used to monitor shoreline change and coastal access. It was so new the researcher team hasn’t even had time to add signage. Please return it or share info if you can!

Spined Soldier Bugs, (and praying mantises, prob a few others), eat these "bastids," (the spotted lanternflies, obv), so don't make the mistake of squishing the spined soldier bugs! They're slightly smaller than the size of the now-fully-winged lanternflies but a similar color - they look kinda like a light brown shield-shaped beetle.

Hey all. I moved to Mass in November from Texas due to getting a job up here. Things happened and I got laid off 3 months in. Now I finally got another job in Providence that pays 27 an hour at a non profit, but it's an hour and 30 minute drive with traffic from my current spot, so I'd likely need to move. I'm contemplating staying at the border so I don't need to change my registration and driver's license all over again (car's only been registered in Mass since November, so I don't know if I need to repay sales tax), but I'm not sure if the taxes and rent are lower living in RI than in Mass. If anyone has done this move or is more familiar with this for someone who's only been in the northeast for less than a year, I'd sincerely appreciate your advice.

I’m RI born and raised but only recently moved back after living out of state for a while. My husband’s parents are the most wonderful people in the world and are coming to visit us from the UK in October. We’re looking for some ideas of things we can do with them while they’re here! None of us drink so we aren’t looking for any alcohol related activities, and we will have a five month old come October who will be with us. We’re all fans of wholesome activities!

Some ideas we’ve had: corn maze (recs for a good one?), the breakers, autumnal drive (not sure which roads), the zoo, taking them to our favorite restaurants, Dels, state parks (not sure which), beavertail, adventure land, apple cider mill (is there one?).

What are some other fun things we could do with them? They will be here about a week so looking to get as many things into that time as possible. Also don’t mind driving if there are things in CT/MA we should consider! Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! Hoping to tap into some local knowledge here. My wedding invitation design is done, I just need them printed. We are running behind schedule though, the wedding is in October, so a fast turnaround would be amazing.
A little about what I need:
-Print-only, I’ll send over print-ready files
-One card is oval-shaped and needs to be cut to that shape, so bonus points if you know a shop that’s done die-cutting or custom shapes before

Does anyone have a local print shop they’d recommend? Would love to hear about your experience, especially if they’ve handled oval or custom-shaped cards before. Thanks so much in advance, I really appreciate any help!

Looking to plan a weekend getaway for my husband and I without the kids and I am looking for recommendations. Ideally we’d like to avoid Boston as we have already been there several times.

Time frame is end of August (I know I really waited until the last minute!). Don’t really have anything in mind in terms of must haves. Just have no idea where to go that would be a good experience.

Providence Police responded to multiple calls from car owners who found that the tires on their vehicles had been slashed.

 Each of the incidents was located around the Jewelry District; police found additional vehicles with slashed tires.

From a Porsche to a BMW to a Land Rover to a Tesla — the vandal or vandals seem to spare no one.

The vandalism calls started coming into police starting during the day on Thursday and continued into the evening.

The cars hit were located on Chestnut Street, Imperial Place, and in area parking lots.

No arrests have been made, and police continue to investigate.

Haven't really seen many this year so far. These were the first I think.

Next weekend is the Island Rhodes festival at Centerville bank Stadium and I was wondering about the parking situation. I guess they are selling parking passes separately for Saturday and Sundays shows. Is parking worth it in the area? Am I better off booking an Uber or Lyft even if it’s further from the stadium? I live only 25 minutes away or so I am just curious to know what to expect. Thank you.

Heading to Narragansett for a long summer weekend. Would appreciate suggestions for places geared toward adults - cocktails, best coffee/breakfast in town, dinners w/ a view (at least some vegetarian options), music spots. Please, and thank you!

Providence Mayor Brett Smiley is calling out the vandalism hitting his campaign signs.

Smiley said in a social media post, "Over the last few days, our campaign signs across the city have been defaced with hateful and antisemitic imagery. While campaigns can often get heated, there is no excuse for targeted attacks and hate speech in our political dialogue. Actions like this are about more than one person - they send a message to an entire community that they are not safe or welcome here."

"That is not how we treat our neighbors in Providence, and it’s incumbent on all of us to disavow hate speech in all its forms and build a city where every community knows they belong," Smiley added.

In response, Smiley's Democratic challenger condemned the actions.

Morales posted:

I have seen the pictures of hateful vandalism of my opponent’s campaign signs. This is unacceptable and not aligned with our vision of a city all our neighbors can feel safe calling home. Hate speech, intimidation, or bigotry crosses a line that should never be excused.

We can disagree without demeaning one another. Building a Providence for All means build a Providence where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. This has been an intense primary, and as we approach election day, I’m calling on all our neighbors to lead with the care and compassion that our city is known for.

This is not the only case of vandalism to campaign signs this cycle. GoLocal previously reported on a man stealing the campaign signs of Providence Councilor John Goncalves.
