These are valuable questions. Step One would be to check your lease/rental agreement. Step Two would be to check the RI laws on Landlord-Tenant responsibility. I am pretty sure they’re supposed to keep walking areas and parking areas safe at a basic level. Salt and sand for example.

Bingo. That was going to be my recommendation. Great food and breweries up there to boot.

I love your Bourdain-like sense of whimsy in this post. Just wanted to share that.

Especially natural gas. It powers our heat/stove/hot water, and many power stations. Kinda sucks, but it’s happening.

Whenever I read disgusting stories like this (the slumlord not the poor victims) my blood boils. We still aren’t that far removed from The Jungle, are we?

Third this. Phenomenal.

I would feel comfortable as a patron with staff like that. What an absolute jackass.

Fair enough. I just know that’s why people buy them.

Take it with a grain of salt. They’re still worthwhile for most people.

Electric heat alone will jack that up. But yeah the baking increase for sure also spikes it.

Fees are going up everywhere dude to increases in prices for non-renewable fuel resources. Granted, I’m sure there are states where it isn’t as bad, but the northeast, and the surrounding areas, are all seeing increases.

Weirdo people posting here: “RI residents are entitled psychopaths! What’s up with that?

Wait, why is everyone disagreeing with me and downvoting me?”

Some people are desperate to “defend their rights” or some shit. The covers block pictures taken by cameras. It’s a pretty hefty fine for having one.

The blind entitlement OP is showing by telling people that they owe them something because they did the barest minimum is wild. I’ll take kind people over this type of “nice” person that expects something from those they’ve deigned to be nice to.

Sounds like something I’d respond with depending on the tone of the other person.

Also, if you expect things from strangers because you did the bare minimum that might make you the entitled one in a weird way? It shouldn’t be transactional.

If you’re wandering through your life expecting something out of strangers then you’re going to be expecting for a long time.

There’s a really good post that explains this idea quite well. Nice vs Kind.

If you do kind things for people and expect something in return you’re going to have problems. You appear to fall right into the target of this post.

Could it have been military jets/planes on maneuvers?

Nah, that lane is for assholes to hold up traffic because “I’m already going five over the speed limit, that’s fast enough, DAMNIT!”

Guerrilla donation gathering? I kinda like that.

Yep. I even had hoped there’s make them a dark blue background with light lettering like the URI sign and Welcome to RI signs. Noooooope.

In Wakefield Ocean Catch has a blend of fresh, and fresh-frozen. Just have to look at their descriptions, and ask questions. Sometimes it can be difficult to find fresh because of the way the markets and wholesalers work.

To order for delivery you can check out this link They’re locally owned and operated. The Local Catch has some great options.

Dune Brothers is my answer to everything seafood related. They are unfortunately still seasonal.

Westerly has Nigrelli’s Jewelry. I’ve bought most of the jewelry my wife has, and my father always went there for his purchases. They have helpful staff of many ages.
