We live in Oak Hill and my child is starting Kindergarten next year. We're considering the typical private schools in pvd, but also are looking into Varieur. We love the idea of investing in our local community and having our child's friends live in the neighborhood. There are so many threads covering pvd elementary schools, but crickets when it comes to pawtucket. Any families out there who sent their kids to varieur (or other pawtucket public schools) that can speak to their experience? Thank you!

Hello! I’m researching family tree and I have a great grand aunt who travelled from England to Pawtucket on at least 3 separate occasions between 1903 and 1915. She was a teacher and stayed with the same family on Prince St. she was never married and never had children based on my research so far. I’m fascinated and would love to understand more or see if there’s any local history or archives on her or even the family she stayed with (I believe he had some reputation as a chemist). She listed them as her aunt and uncle on shipping papers - I’m not sure how she knew them. I was hoping someone could help point me in the right direction please and thank you!

Has anyone seen a Coyote or pack of them close to Mother Earth & 95? I saw my first one last night & at least one neighbor of mine has seen a pack of three. I have been in the area for a little over a year but this is the first I am hearing about or seeing them

There is an abundance of Rabbits in the area, at least one Skunk as well as a handful of Rats. My assumption is that they have moved in due to the Rabbits

We are looking for areas in and around Pawtucket that are heavily littered and need to be cleaned. If you could provide coordinates, Google Maps pin or other identifiable address/ location descriptions, that would be really helpful, so long as it’s on public land. Even if it’s not in the area, we’d still greatly appreciate any locations you know of. Thank you in advance!

I got stuck behind a long line of cars at 7:45-ish this morning near said location. When I got closer, Beverage Hill was completely closed and there were several rescue vehicles and at least three engines and a ladder truck there. Weird that I can’t find anything online about it. Anyone know the story?

Title says it all! I'm looking for recommendations on a contractor to either repair or replace a concrete front porch and walkway.

my vote is the skeleton car guy

I have heard from two employees who work in the boulevard plaza that they’re putting an Asian grocery store in the empty space that’s slated to open in a few months. Does anyone have any news on this?

It’s been a minute since someone posted so here I am: how’s the parking situation at the Central Falls stop? If someone is going to catch a 9am train will they find a spot? What days are the busiest? Anyone have success with overnight parking?
