Reply to City approves 5-story College Hill apartments despite complaints about noisy students by cowperthwaite
I thought I drove by a building that looks like this a week ago. They must all have the same architect.

Reply to TPMS sensor and car inspection by techsavior
I went to Carmax one year and they wouldn't even start because the TPMS light was on. They said they fail automatically when any dash light warning is on. So YMMV.

Driving home last night, I was very fond of 50 Cent - P.I.M.P. when it came on. Made driving more enjoyable at the moment.

Reply to Costco? by AHoneyNamedRenee
I posted about the land for topgolf and the latest update in that thread.
Mayor said he signed the papers, if anything big will be announced by property owners, Carpionato.

Reply to comment by bentlarkin in Thoughts on Den Den Korean fried chicken restaurant in providence? by eyesofhazel_
One day, I was driving by Providence Place Mall and saw a Bonchon truck leaving the mall. It gave me hope, but I tried reaching out to their social media accounts and it's been a dud.
I dislike what the new Bonchon has done to most menus. But their chicken has been consistent and sooo good. I personally love the spicy chicken and I cannot find a replacement.

They're pretty good for the wings. Some of their other plates are hit or miss.

Reply to What a difference a week makes. by n0i
Because the sun really hits my house, it's reading 80 degrees inside my house. I, too, thought back to last week and how I was freezing under my blanket because my heat couldn't catch up.

I like the truffle burger at red stripe with their frites.

Mine was done in a couple of weeks, but I did it at AAA so not sure if that changes processing time or not.

So what I do is get a groupon discount like 30% off, buy the groupon through a cashback site. That is the ultimate thrifty route. Massage by Mari is typically on groupon for first time visitors.

Reply to Best Thai restaurant in RI? by [deleted]
Last Thai we had was Lim's, and it's pretty good. If you want Thai/Lao food. Haus de la Vie or Bangkok Republik.

One year, we entered a contest at Buffalo Wild Wings and won a Budweiser throne and had the "best seat in the house", basically a table in front of one of their bigger screens. It was a pretty good game, this was the game where Butler intercepted and helped the Pats win. Not sure if it's as fun anymore though.

Yes, we old him, "yes, please." It's not even a place someone would tip another and we both thought it was just strange especially they were using a church lot as a profitable parking lot during events.

At a parking lot, gave the park attendant a $20 for a $15 parking fee, he asked if we wanted change. He wasn't a valet, he stood there for us to pay him to park.

Reply to Affordable houseplants? by [deleted]
In the summer, Aldi has some super cheap and nice houseplants. Sadly in the winter, they do not have any. If you can hold off you can get huge plants for $15.

Highly don't recommend Tasca. Even a simple oil change can take 3 hours!

Reply to WHY ARE HOUSES SO EXPENSIVE by mommy2boy
My coworker bought in CT instead and commutes over an hour to work in RI. He's a single guy so I'm guessing it's affordable for him to do it. So maybe look wider and expect a commute if your roots are in RI.

Reply to Ice/Snow Removal as a Tennant? by Teagaroo
Gassing it isn't always great since if it's snow, it'd cause the surface area to flatten and cause less friction. I did this once and slid backwards and hit the curb. A neighbor who helped me off the curb said it's best to go slow and turn your wheel in a wide zigzap pattern heading upward. Which did help me get up the hill.
As for if it's all ice and no friction at all, I think you can try cat litter on the surface. But if you have none, if you do have rock salt, I'd try that too but that's a lot of surface for you to cover.

Walmart has good prices for ice melt. If you can't find any there, next stop try Advance Auto but be prepared to pay much more than Walmart.

Reply to Meeting other South Asians/East Asians by asamadx1649
I think I've not seen a lot of South Asians in Providence, they're more around Cumberland/Pawtucket areas. Growing up as a Southeast Asian in Providence, I personally thought there was a lot of us. But there were not many South or East Asians. At work, I have several South Asian colleagues but I they are past the age of clubs. East Asians are more concentrated in Boston.

Reply to Best chocolate cake around? by showmehow2br8kwallst
For a chocolate lover, it's definitely gotta be a death by chocolate from Gregg's. I got it once for my bf's birthday, it came in a cardboard box because it's too heavy for a regular cake box.

I got that as a birthday cake one year and most of it went into the trash. It looked pretty though.

I have a couple of coworkers that love to go to Disney and Universal. One of them later bought a rental down there and I believe she plans to eventually retire down there. I'm not sure the allure either. I also have a boss who also plans to retire there. He told me he likes the warmer weather and is basically done with snow.
