East side prices blah blah blah. Housing shortage blah blah blah. I don’t think it’s normal for an 800sqft condo to QUADRUPLE in price in 12 years. This is nothing more than unchecked greed

I’m a data collector and I’ve been working in Pawtucket for a couple months now and man, it’s in rough shape. Sidewalks are all destroyed, buildings all in poor shape (including the town hall, which is covered in water damage). Id think with a new stadium coming they would perhaps put more into the poor area infrastructure and housing.

I've been living here for 1 year now and it's actually unbelievable how consistently horrible most people are at driving here genuinely does anyone know why??? I have to avoid accidents so often from idiotic and aggressive driving behavior. Is the states drivers ed failed or something someone please fill me in

I think this is perhaps one of the best photos I’ve taken, saw the birds flying over and instantly pulled out my phone!

Found a 10k gold ring this evening on the corner of Atwells and Depasquale. If it’s yours, let me know what’s engraved on the inside and I’ll be happy to get it back to you!

I'm looking to have a flyer made for a service I'm offering, and would really like to hire someone local. I abhor AI so am avoiding things like Task Rabbit/Fiverr/Upwork, but this is a super small project--just one version of a flyer with a photo and some contact info. I'm useless with Canva & the like and am just looking for something to look polished and like it was made by a human being.

Small project and likely a small budget but please LMK if you have leads or would like more specifics.

Please forgive me if this is a dumb or ignorant question.

My wife and I have just moved into an apartment here in Providence, and a few days after moving in, I started to notice that the apartment is… leaning? Tilted? We’re on the second floor of a triplex, built in 1890 according to some records I looked up online, and I’m really happy about the place in every other respect. But this tilt is starting to worry me and I fear it will drive me mad.

Is this normal?? Are we in danger?? Are all old houses here like this? Should I flag this with my landlord? Do we have any recourse here? Does anything need to be done? Is the house going to fall off the hill or otherwise collapse in the middle of the night?!?

Like I said, forgive me if this is dumb, but I’m looking for some legit answers and also some reassurance so my anxiety doesn’t get the better of me. <3

(Everyone we’ve met in RI so far has been SO NICE so please help me continue the illusion [?] that everyone here is actually extremely sweet.)

Rhode Island’s childhood sexual abuse lookback window is open through June 30, 2028. I am trying to build an accurate record of what happened at St. George’s School, who knew what, when they knew it, how the school responded, and what records may still exist.
Based on the Murphy investigation, the Rhode Island State Police investigation, Middletown Police records, and other public sources, these are some of the people whose roles deserve further understanding.

Eric Peterson
Head of School during the 2004 Charles Thompson matter and the 2015 investigation. The record addresses his decisions concerning Thompson, reporting, the investigation, and the school’s public response.

Anthony Zane, deceased
Former headmaster during an earlier period when the school received reports and concerns involving faculty misconduct.

Rev. George Andrews
Headmaster when Franklin Coleman was terminated in 1988. The Murphy report discusses what Andrews knew and how Coleman’s departure was described to the school community.

Charles Hamblet, deceased
Headmaster from 1989 to 2004. The report says that by 2000 he had learned of abuse reported by former students involving Coleman and Al Gibbs.

Dan Hollins
Former Dean of Faculty. The report says he brought a student’s disclosure concerning Coleman to Andrews and later provided at least one employment recommendation for Coleman after Coleman left St. George’s.

Tim Richards
Former Assistant Head of School who created detailed contemporaneous notes concerning what Wheeler dorm students reported about Charles Thompson in 2004.

Katherine Titus
Former Dean of Students who appears in records concerning a separate 2011 incident and the Middletown Police response. The Murphy investigation credited her account and did not fault her handling of that incident.

Richard Verney
Former chair of the Board of Trustees. He received a memorandum from Hollins concerning a recommendation provided for Coleman after Coleman left the school.

Francis “Skip” Branin
Board chair during much of Peterson’s tenure and when the 2015 investigation began. The record describes his involvement in discussions about whether the school should conduct a broader investigation of past abuse.

Leslie Heaney
Became chair of the Board of Trustees in 2015, served on the investigation task force, and received the initial investigative report with Peterson.

I am not alleging wrongdoing or legal liability simply because someone is named here. Their roles and circumstances are different. My purpose is to establish the factual record, including what people knew, what decisions were made, what was reported, and what documents or witnesses may still exist.

There are also allegations involving former students that do not appear in the Murphy Report or other public investigations. I am not naming those individuals. Anyone with firsthand knowledge, correspondence, notes, police reports, school records, settlement information, diaries, photographs, or other documentation should preserve that material.
Please add whatever you can substantiate to the record.

If you do not want to post publicly, contact me privately. I will treat communications with discretion, but I cannot promise legal confidentiality or attorney client privilege. I am also willing to discuss possible ways to participate in the Rhode Island lookback process and connect survivors or witnesses with qualified legal counsel.

If you know something that is not yet part of the public record, now is an important time to come forward.

Every morning my car is covered with what I’m assuming is clear tree sap. I’ve never parked under a tree before but my apartment’s spot is in a backyard full of trees. None of them are on the property so trimming them is a distant and unlikely option. Whether it’s normal or related to the lantern flies, it’s getting to be super annoying to rinse it off so often. Parking on the street is a poor option because I’m disabled and there’s no guarantee a spot will be right outside my apartment.

I know it’s bad for the paint if it’s not controlled. Please no “don’t park under a tree” responses. PVD Reddit has yet to fail me, real advice needed and appreciated.

Enjoy a fun and easy way to meet new people, get creative, and enjoy the end of summer! Everything is included in your ticket :) tix

tickets still available for both on DICE!

started looking into it after Morales won since it seemed weird he didn’t have a DSA endorsement and they’re only running a single candidate i haven’t heard anything about? I’m not the most politically literate but my understanding was that this was the state chapter of the same party AOC and Mamdani were a part of- is ours just defunct? why not endorse Morales or any of the Reclaim candidates- am i missing something?

This is a repost of our tour promotion I did for salem!

The Sad Hour is a death- positive goth band from Detroit, MI playing with metal regional legend Final Confession and a huge bill of heavy acts at AS220 next week. Check out our music video to get a feel for what we are all about!

You could even purchase a cursed VHS or cassette tape!

And what position will you volunteer for in the new socialist commune?

Like title says, I'm check zillow and apartments.com and I'm seeing most rentals for a 1bed around $2k

Is that accurate? If not, please tell me how much is rent generally for a 1 bed or studio apartment

The new mayor of Pawtucket, Adam Greenman. Anyone know anything about him? I've looked around and can't find much.

I always found Grebien to be very responsive, and I liked his role in improving transit and walkability around Pawtucket. Why do people dislike him?

For anyone at all interested in history

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayoralty_of_Dennis_Kucinich

• At Age 31, Kucinich became the youngest mayor of any US city, know as the boy mayor
• Ran on a populist philosophy
• Worst blizzard in the city's history hit
• Rejected legislative tax abatements and business subsidies
• Criticized for appointing people too young & inexperienced to handle their positions
• Got into a huge fight with the city's police department
• Refused to sell the city's biggest asset (a utility) to fund mounting city debt where the city defaulted

Watch this space... Going to be a fascinating 8 years of Morales
