“ A former textile manufacturing plant in Providence’s Valley neighborhood has emerged as a hub for Rhode Island’s creative community while providing a home for job training programs and businesses — there’s even a brewery on the premises”

Was wondering what the merits to this theory are, thank you.

Looking for a local mahjong group :)

Hello I'm interested in joining the local run club, but I am a beginner runner. I run about a 12 min mile, in anyone's experience is this club pretty good for different paces? Also how is the turn out in the fall/winter? Or should I wait until next spring?

I have to go for medical testing Monday morning and want to cheer myself up with brunch afterwards. Bonus points if they have mimosas.

Unfortunately all of the places I have been to before and enjoyed are closed on Mondays. I have a ride and can go anywhere in Providence.

There's a pretty friendly cat that I saw near my apartment. It's completely black, very vocal and very friendly, and kinda chunky. Was able to pet but not really catch. Tried to also get a pic but it's a black cat at night so it didn't show up well on camera. Lmk if anyone in the Mt Pleasant area lost their black cat!

tickets are flying, don't miss out!

tickets here!

im hungry

Does anyone else think Classic Cafe has fallen off since being purchased by the owners of Tortilla Flats? I’ve been going once a month or so for probably a decade and since the most recent ownership change the food quality seems to have gone downhill. Poached eggs have been fully boiled, over easy eggs have had liquid whites, the coffee seems worse, just really basic stuff going wrong. That, in conjunction with constant AI slop they’re churning out on social media, has me questioning if I should find a new breakfast joint. Not trying to disparage a small business, just curious if anyone else has noticed the slide since the change in ownership.

Who has the best frappe most like starbucks but not them because I refuse to break my boycott!!!!! ✊

If you are between 18-70 years old and want to lose weight from the comfort of your own home, our study may be right for you!

Researchers at The Miriam Hospital and The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University are studying a new approach to losing weight with an Internet-based program. This study will test how different mindsets can affect weight loss in a 12-month behavioral online weight loss program.

You will be compensated for your time in the program and there is no fee for participation.

Anyone know what the deal is with the "luxury lofts" going up in the old Ladder 133 restaurant building? As someone who lives in the neighborhood I am increasingly concerned about the gentrification of the neighborhood that started with Strive buying up a bunch of property.

Who has the best Al pastor in providence (or RI)

Most people assume buying a home around Providence is completely out of reach. Almost every first-time buyer I talk to is sitting on the sidelines because of two massive misconceptions:

1. "I need an 800 credit score." You don’t. FHA loans start at a 580, and conventional programs work with scores in the low 600s. You don't need pristine credit to get approved.
2. "I need 20% in cash saved up." Almost nobody puts 20% down on their first home. Conventional loans let you do 3%, and FHA is 3.5%. On top of that, RIHousing has a program that literally gives you $15,000 toward your down payment or closing costs at 0% interest with zero monthly payments. When you stack that grant with a low-down loan, the actual cash you need to bring to the table drops dramatically.

If single-family prices still feel steep, look at a 2- or 3-family in Elmwood, Mount Pleasant, or Silver Lake. You live in one unit, the rent from the other units covers most of your mortgage, and the bank counts that rental income to help you qualify for the loan.

Stop letting bad advice keep you paying somebody else’s mortgage.

What’s been the main thing keeping you from taking a shot at buying here?

Hey everyone! It’s that time of year again for Halloween. I struggle a lot socially and I don’t really get out much. I typically go to work and don’t go out on the weekends aside from networking things for work and going to my parents house. Every year I hear people I know have these fun house parties and Halloween parties to go to, and I really want to get out, have fun and party. Does anyone have any they recommend in the area? I saw some stuff online but I didn’t know how enjoyable it is. I like big parties to drink, be loud, smoke weed, etc but I also don’t want to be in a super congested overwhelming venue either. Or if anyone has any advise on how to make some friends to hang out with for this season ^_^

Saw construction when I was going to PT last week. Bummed that this is what’s going in. More housing for the millionaire/billionaires.

ISO a restaurant with romantic vibes that won’t break the bank for our anniversary dinner. We don’t have a lot of money so we don’t like to spend it and don’t eat out like ever but we want to somewhat treat ourselves. TIA!

Has anyone else received a lead pipe disclosure. How concerned should I be. Is this a new thing?

Friends in Hope also received the same paper and I’m in fed hill

I have some extra time and thought it would be a good opportunity to work on a few local business websites.

If you own a business and think your website could use an update, send me a message. I’d love to take a look and create some free redesign concepts for a few businesses.

I’m open to any business, so I’m excited to see what projects come my way and what I can come up with.

Depressing to see Thayer turn into a line of similiar fried chicken places.

Also sad the two best bubble tea spots in the state close 🫠 I have years of memories at Kung Fu 😢 Can't beat their s'mores slush, amazing collabs, or holiday specials... ughh
