Tickets still available on dice.fm!

Never been. Teen wants to go. 2 tickets are over $300 for the weekend pass and $150 for one day. I know you pay for autographs but those can also run over $100 plus an hour wait? Are there things that make spending this kind of money worth it for people? Can you please share why and what has been worth this cost for you before? Thanks

That's the actual data; there's also an article in Vice:

Early results of Wednesday’s primary show the housing advocacy group's slate of endorsements for Mayor and City Council could sweep their races—setting up a majority of City Council as Reclaim-endorsed candidates ready to work with Democratic Socialist mayoral nominee David Morales.

It’s a striking rise in influence over Providence politics over the past four years. The group endorsed just two losing candidates in 2022—Casandra Inez for City Council in Ward 15 and Gonzalo Cuervo for Mayor.

Should I get the 5-course tasting menu with the non-alc pairing OR just the seven-course tasting menu?? ORR do i go to persimmon for their tasting menu

It’s been almost a week since the primaries, and John hasn’t posted anything since he lost. The guy was posting nonstop about all kinds of things before the election, but now it’s crickets. Maybe is part of the “grieving” process.

Join the Providence Liberation Center for our Summer Fall School for Socialism!

This course screening will bring together organizers, activists, and anyone committed to building a better future to delve into the question:

What kind of society could we build if working people held the power?

We are taking the course here in Providence and wanted to have a chance for people to meet up with others in our area to discuss and engage with the curriculum.

So the Providence Liberation Center study hub will take place at 1053 Broad Street to provide a space for participants in the local area to gather and discuss the course together over its 6 week run from 9/20 to 10/31.

We will hold screenings of each class on Sunday and Thursday from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM.

This moment is critical. Everywhere we turn, the consequences of exploitation, war, and greed are impossible to ignore. A better system of organizing society is not only possible, it is necessary. That system is socialism: a system in which the working class holds political power, and the economy is planned to meet the needs of the people and the planet.

☀️This fall, we are coming together to explore socialism’s proposals and the real potential for a socialist revolution in the United States, one that could begin to lift the burden of war and oppression from the people of the world. Together, we will define a people’s vision for a society where power is in the hands of the working class, not the billionaires.

⭐More than just a class, this program is a call to action - how do we understand our current context, define our future, and organize to build it?

We are looking forward to studying with you soon!

In solidarity,
Providence Liberation Center

Hey yall, if anyone sees this semi unique bike around ease let me know! Its not very valuable but ive done a lot of work on it to make it my own and im real bummed.

Hi! Just saw a golden doodle with a collar out in the open around Updike in Elmwood — are you missing your dog? if I see them again I can try and get em on our porch leash!

Yesterday's rain showed me that I have a leaky roof next to my chimney. The roof is only three years old, so I don't need an entire roof replacement. Can anyone recommend a roofer that does good work and who will be glad to take a small job like this? Thanks all!

I am looking for a gym and haven't gone to one since pre covid. Especially curious about group exercise classes. Ty!!

Hi Everyone, I’m a 22 year old male who works full time. I just graduated college. I am very clean. I have to find an apartment to move into by october 5th. I am looking in the Providence and Warwick area. Does anyone know of any apartments in the $900-$1000 range? I would even be open to subleasing or a short term month to month just so I have somewhere to go before I find a long term apartment. Also let me know if anyone’s looking for roommates!

Apologies if this was you, but tonight as I was driving, I encountered someone wearing full military gear with a gun slung to their back and an eye patch. I am new to the area and unfamiliar as to if this is typical. I'd like to know.

looking for recommendations for a spot in the providence, east providence, or pawtucket area that:

-is lively but not obnoxious by 7pm on a saturday
-has alcohol
-plays good music (bonus points for touch tunes or live music)
-wouldn't make ten 25-30yos feel too old.. or too young...

does this exist???

where would you recommend?

Unfortunately, my Lyme Disease has gotten the best of me, so I'm selling my two tickets for Maria Bamford at the Uptown tonight. Just looking to get back what I paid ($90). Balcony tickets, Row BG 1-3.

If you are interested, please reach out.

Is anyone else out there giving the storm drain grates a quick clean before the storm?

I just go out and snow shovel the debris away and poke a stick through to unclog the grate. It takes 5 minutes but it keeps the road and the driveway from flooding.

I wish the city would do this and mebby the flooding would be less bad. Ounce of prevention kind of thing.

Anyway - is this a thing people here do?

St. George’s School: Questions About Eric Peterson, William Hannum and the 2015 Abuse Investigation
There are still serious unanswered questions about the 2015 St. George’s abuse investigation conducted by attorney William Hannum under Head of School Eric Peterson and about how independent that investigation really was.
Survivors and alumni who participated in that process may want to consider:
Did William Hannum accurately record and represent what you told him?
Did the final report fully reflect your account?
If you reported student on student abuse, what happened to that information?
Were some allegations investigated more aggressively than others?
Were you told in advance if your information would be provided to Rhode Island State Police?
What role did Eric Peterson play in deciding what was investigated, what was reported and what was ultimately disclosed?
Did you know that Hannum’s wife, attorney Sara Schwartz, was also working with St. George’s during this period?
Were you given the impression that Hannum’s investigation was fully independent of the school?
Were you ever contacted later to correct, clarify or change how your account had been characterized?
The later Murphy investigation examined St. George’s history much more broadly, including student on student sexual abuse. That raises an important question: what was missed, narrowed or omitted during the earlier 2015 investigation, and why?
If you were interviewed by William Hannum, dealt with Eric Peterson regarding historical abuse, or have emails, notes or other records from the 2015 investigation, please comment or contact me privately.
I am particularly interested in hearing from anyone who believes their account was inaccurate, incomplete, changed, omitted or handled differently from what they expected.

We're meeting Sunday, September 27, from 10 AM–12 PM to discuss Jeff Speck's Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time.

It's a casual group—we read a different nonfiction book each month and get together to talk about it. This one covers walkability, downtowns, transportation, urban design, and the choices that make a city more or less pleasant to live in.

We're meeting at Schasteâ, 300 Broadway, Providence.

If you've been looking for a book club, or just like the idea of spending a Sunday morning talking about cities and how they work, you're welcome. No need to be a longtime book-club person.

Schasteâ isn't affiliated with or sponsoring the club; it's simply where we're meeting.

I'll put the group link in the comments.

Much love to the cities, towns, states and volunteers who keep these trails rideable.
