Cheeseless pizza is actually the original pizza.

In Naples it’s called pizza marinara and it was the original pizza. Anyone who tries to tell you pizza strips aren’t ‘real pizza’ is full of shit.

What do the other two places have to do with Northeast being better than the places in RI?

I had a not super experience at Natures medicine and I like Nova Farms, too, FWIW.

I’ve had a card here for years, and nothing in RI is anywhere near as good as Northeast Alternatives in Fall River. Better selection, better prices.

In addition to pizza strips getting rooked on this list, that Canadian Pizza Cake sounds awesome.

It was dark - some time in the early evening, but I don’t recall the exact time. 7ish maybe?

No, but I can tell you that they flew so low over our house during the heavy winds that we all thought a tornado had touched down and our house was getting blown down.

Location location location

It is fucking FREEZING up that far north. We visit the NEK area a lot, and it’s MUCH colder than here. Also, there’s no ocean and nowhere to work.

Edit: it is currently -13 f and 14mph winds in Alburgh for context

We came from NYC / NJ, and I have to say that’s the best way to put it - there are plenty that are fine and a bunch that are just terrible.

We’ve resorted to just buying bagels when we visit my wife’s mother.

You could try Delta-9 gummies.

My MIL has trouble sleeping as well and is in her 80’s. She doesn’t want to get ‘high’, so I got her some D9 gummmies from cbdmd and she loves them. Sleeps well, stops her foot pain and she hasn’t fallen or been off balance at all.

Totally agree - it shouldn’t be a choice. When the wipers are flipped on, lights automatically come on too. No brainer.

I honestly have no idea why people in relatively new cars ever turn their headlights off…. basically very new car has an ‘Auto’ setting for headlights. No idea why people don’t use it.

Despite the dumb name, La Favorite bakery in Warwick has done several custom birthday cakes for us and they’ve all been great.

Gregg’s is OK, but overrated IMO (as someone not born and raised here).

UNO’s is better than Sicilia’s bland pizza.

Theres a place in NK that has Chicago style, but I’ve never had it. Supposed to be OK, but I can’t vouch for it

I would try the Gift Box in Warwick, over by the mall. It’s a decent sized store, and all they sell is Christmas stuff, I believe.

For that kind of money, I’m sure the bosses really try to push your buttons

Why are you not naming the stores?

I want to see what and where they have a oz for 200.

I guess I’m a three-time loser then - I don’t have any of things.

But I also don’t listen to that twat Matt Allen, so…

LOL, why do I stay if I don’t pay extra money for a government mandated vehicle ID?

I stay for the effective governance and superior roads, obviously.

> I know we all get excited about single digit plates

As a transplant to RI (albeit 20 years ago), the infatuation with custom plates is one of the few Rhode Island things I just cannot grasp….

If you’re interested, ocean state job lot has ketchup chips from time to time (along with a bunch of other weird flavors )

Naturey Things to do:

walk on First/second beach

Norman Bird Sanctuary

Sachuest point wildlife refuge

Ocean Drive sightseeing

Walk Thames St (pronounced with a hard ‘a’ sound)

Beavertail state park (Jamestown)

Restaurants:

Scales and Shells (old school seafood)

The Mooring (mostly seafood, some non-seafood. Get the Bag of Donuts)

Pero Salado (Mexican, good margaritas)

Diego’s (Mexican, get the duck empanadas)

Castle Hill Inn

White Horse Tavern

Midtown Oyster Bar

Pour Judgement (pub with nice beer selection and quality food)

Fastnet (Irish bar, decent pub food)

Can’t speak specifically to rum cake, but Scialo’s definitely is not the same with the new owner.

Scialo’s was our go-to for all baked goods pre-pandemic. When it reopened we were so excited,but… definitely not as good now.

Ah. Thanks for that info!

I’m asking bc my kid is in HS and looking at options for college right now. URI is the default if she 1) doesn’t get into a ridiculously good school (Stanford, Brown, etc) and 2) can’t find a different school that will cost a similar amount to URI.

A full-tuition scholarship would certainly tip the scales toward URI….

What is ‘centennial’?

You’re seriously saying you don’t know any of the myriad things Don is being investigated for? LOL.
