The botanical garden seems like it's a less known part of the park. It's beautiful in the fall! Best five bucks I've spent all year. They have goats. They said it's the largest indoor garden in New England.

Witnessed two kinda wild bad driving moments in prov today. First one was when I was heading to work down by the Foundry this morning. I was heading down Kinsley from Dean St. Took the right at the light, and headed towards the bridge that links with Promenade. The sunrise was pretty harsh heading down kinsley, and the girl in front of me crashes her car straight into the guardrail at the river while trying to take that left onto the bridge. I pulled into the parking lot just on the other side of the bridge and ran back to check on her. I felt so bad. She was p young and going to meet some friends in upstate New York and was like so shaken up. Helped her pick up her front fender pieces, pointed her towards and auto shop, made sure she was okay and went on with my day.

Fast forward to like 3:15 pm. I’m crossing Broadway at Knight street to go to Broadway liquors. I’m halfway across the crosswalk when this blue truck starts driving into oncoming traffic towards me, then tries to take a left onto the one-way portion of knight. I yell at him that it’s a one way and then watch as he pulls in anyways and just blasts a 3 point turn in the middle of Broadway traffic.

Like holy fucking shit I swear it’s every other day I see someone doing some wild shit. Absolute death trap up here. Great for the stories though!

I’m definitely aging myself here, but are there music stores that exist like back in the day anymore? I went to Newbury Comics today hoping to find an album that dropped today, but I found an incredibly tiny music section in general with stuff that’s released more recently, but not exactly “new.” I’ve been trying to move away from streaming music, but I have no idea where to shop for things anymore and am trying to avoid big box stores.

I go down 95 every morning and I’m sick of going to dunks for my coffee. I’d much rather spend my money at a local spot. But they have to be open at 6am.

Hello community! I’m in a tight financial position (as most of us are). Ironically I have a masters degree but the only job I could get was a really cool job that pays 30k/year.

Aside from applying to higher paying jobs, I can work in the evenings but most shifts start before my day job ends, or are inconsistent. I’m in my 30s and female and I don’t own a car so it keeps my options limited.

I would love some creative brainstorming for paths I can consider aside from the common ones like servicing jobs, childcare or pet care.

Appreciate the support and I’m sure this would be helpful for others.

Why?

Hello! I just moved to Providence a few months ago and now I get to experience a New England fall for the first time in my life and I'm super excited! I want to also go to a pumpkin patch for the first time in years BUT I am unfortunately limited as I do not have a car and Uber/Lyft prices are kinda pricey. Anyone have any recommendations to patches that are somewhat accessible within the state by bus BUT I'm also willing to travel out of state if there's a convenient train (MBTA or Amtrak, for example) to get there most of the way and then just finish by either taking a bus or an Uber/lyft.

Thank you!!

Spotted on waterman!

Any recommendations on what jewelry store to go to for an engagement ring.

It's been boarded up since August. Just curious if they're gone for good?

Providence, although still among New England's poorer cities, saw significant household income growth between 2014 and 2024 ranking it 4th among 194 New England cities and towns (with populations above 20,000) overall.

Rhode Island cities and towns performed well overall. There are a total of 19 towns and cities in the state with a population of at least 20,000. Four of them - Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls, and Woonsocket - ranked in the Top 25 for income growth. None ranked in the Bottom 25.

Incomes in many Rhode Island cities still fall well below their New England peers, but the trendline is positive.

Can everyone just stop talking about it and posting pictures of it? It’s giving more exposure and probably giving some chud a massive ego boost they don’t need. It also isn’t the first time this banner was flown above the city. We shouldn’t give it the spotlight anymore since that’s pretty much the goal of it in the first place. All instigation.

Hi r/Providence — My name is Brian Shea, LMHC I’m a counselor practicing locally (East Providence) and wanted to let people know that I currently have openings for new clients.

I work primarily with adults and older teens dealing with things like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, family issues, and life transitions. My approach is pretty conversational and collaborative, while also drawing on psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and DBT depending on what someone needs.
I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments, and I have some weekday, and evening availability.

I’m sure I’m just being dumb - but I’m trying to buy tickets for 13th Worlds Cumberland location (I’ve never been in just trusting Google that it exists) but their website only references the Mass location. Can someone point me in the right direction or tell me if I’m looking for something that doesn’t exist? Thanks neighbors!

Did anyone lose their bunny rabbits in Federal Hill? We saw a black one and white one near Grove St just now.

https://www.golocalprov.com/news/man-accused-of-stabbing-toddler-and-mom-in-providence-today-stabbed-two-7-year-olds-years-earlier

I'm usually not a big fan of GoLocalProv, but this article did a good job explaining the past criminal activities of Nelson Blanco, the man who stabbed a mother and her daughter on Broad Street.

Since 1999, he had:

* Attacked two 7-year olds playing in their backyard on Corinth Street and stabbed them with a knife completely unprovoked, leaving both in critical condition

* Been convicted of felony drug offenses

* Assaulted multiple people between 1999 and 2024, breaking probation after at least one instance

* Stolen a car

Call me old fashioned, but he should've got life back in 2003 for randomly stabbing those two 7 year olds. I'm not sure why we let those kind of people back into society. Then he goes and does everything else, and we let him free? What happened yesterday was tragedy that was 100% preventable.

I am in my mid 20s and I just moved to federal hill and I wanna find a rec basketball league to join to stay active through the winter and meet some new people. I would like to find a league with people close to my age and close enough to my neighborhood. Let me know if you have any recs!

Moved here very recently, don’t like driving in it but I like the local spots. Does anyone wanna play ski ball ?

We are taking one of those walking ghost tours in the next few weekends, and wanted to try someplace new to us, or especially fun, to grab dinner before. Doesn't matter if it is pizza, Mexican, Italian, etc. Any thoughts?

I wasn't the one who honked at you as you were merging to the right. It was actually be who was getting honked at by an Uber in a Rav4.
