It honestly is not anymore, you are better off going to Whole Foods. The quality is better and in most cases you can find the 365 brand cheaper than anything you will find at East Side Market. Since Stop and Shop/Giant bought them a few years back their prices have gone through the roof. What makes it even worse is that it is all Stop and Shop signage, product etc priced much higher than Stop and Shop.

There is going to be a parking garage attached to the condo they are building at that location, I don't know how much it is going to help it doesn't look that big. And yes the street parking there is extremely limited as it is, especially with the changes they made on South Water St where the bike lane was added.

Have you actually been to the location where this is going to be located? There is very little street parking around there, one side is a highway off ramp and the other side has only a small section of on street parking especially since the change with this new construction.

The TJs in Warwick has the benefit of having a large parking area that is shared with the whole plaza and at times around the holidays is an absolute nightmare.

Where this is in Providence is going to be like the worst days in Warwick(which has also been open a long while now so less of a draw) parking area that are adding is also going to be for the condos that they are building at that location as well so there will be a ton of cars coming in and out of that location where there is already a huge amount of traffic on a good day and a hellish amount on a bad day.

This is true. There is already too much congestion and activity in and around this area. I am all for a Trader Joes going in and even in that area just right there is going to make it a complete shit show.

To those saying its great that it will be walkable, yes that is a plus, but it is also going to bring a lot more congestion to that area and actually make it less walkable because of the amount of people that will be driving to this location from outside the city. This is going to be a huge draw especially for the first year or so. There are going to be so many people coming in that do not understand how to share the road with people on bikes, pedestrians and scooters etc that it is going to become mildly more dangerous for those people.

Add on the fact that it is directly off the highway with what looks like not very well designed entry and exit to the parking lot it is going to a nightmare for everyone in and around that area as it is already has heavy traffic.

This would have been better suited down where the empty area down by Tops Electrical is where there is a huge empty space with enough space for proper entry and exits without fighting people coming directly off the highway. Still walkable but better overall.

Should direct your anger at Nexstar who wants a huge increase in their per sub rate. Not saying Verizon and Comcast aren't greedy but the channel provider are removing content and asking for more money which in turn would make your bill higher.

It sucks for the layperson for sure that doesn't know the ins and outs they just see stuff is gone.

Yeah there is no one solution yet, its gonna be mostly like a YouTube TV or Fubo TV and then adding things like Hulu and paramount

...and this is the one you know about. There is also a bunch of other contracted must carry channels that they want too. Look at Rewind TV a channel that carries nothing but old ass shows and they wanted like $3 per sub.

There are too many apps to get a the channels you want. People have wanted "ala cart" cable TV channels for years and years and this is where it gets you.

There are actually a few options out there/on the horizon that function very similarly to cable as it is now, they just don't always have all the content and that is a huge part of the problem. I put this more at the feet of the channel owners than the cable providers as they are the ones raising rates insane amounts. In some cases they are asking for almost 100% increases per sub and the cable companies are just stuck with it.

It might be a while. Cable providers (all of them) and not that I feel bad for them, are seeing huge increases in their contracts with these channels especially the locals like 6,10, and 12 based on their corporate owners in this case Nexstar while at the same time moving content to their streaming services. Cable providers are getting push back from their customers about rate increases and some providers are just not willing to pass these higher rates on to their customers. Especially when the content is available for free over the air, yet cable providers are being asked for upwards of $6-$10 per sub for these channels. A lot of these channels have already by dropped by the likes of Dish. "Cable" TV is dying and these channel operators do not see the writing on the wall and are continuing to seek increases every year while viewership is going down. They have completely lost touch.

Could also just do a really decent quality mesh to go from the basement to the 2nd floor. There are a lot of systems that will cover that distance especially as a temp fix until the lines get run.

They wouldn't be able to do MoCa as the lines to the apartment have been cut so there is no Coax, it is a great suggestion though. This would work if they have any active outlets in the apartment, but so would just moving the modem.

This is wrong. To have lines wall fished regardless of voltage you need to be licensed as it can interact with the high voltage system.

Cable/internet installers are able to drill through walls and floors but are not allowed to fish as they are not licensed. If the landlord does not want it run on the outside of the home it needs to be fished and that needs to be done by a licensed electrician.

Sweet Berry Farm is pretty good. Good variety.

They need to have their own permit first. I was gonna suggest this but read the permit rules and assumed because they said their friend had a driveway they wouldn't have a permit.

No problem, there was a time you could call the Providence police and let them know you were parking overnight.

I would risk the ticket, good chance you won't get one especially if it isn't a high traffic road/area.

There is no overnight parking in Providence, worst you should get is an overnight parking ticket. Just make sure it isn't a tow zone or anything. Might be fine and not get a ticket at all depends if they are on that street that night.

I would worry more about it getting hit or broken into depending on the neighborhood. Providence is fairly safe, but there is always the possibility.
