I see drivers in vehicles from Johnston breaking laws in Providence all the time. Thank you Johnston for setting the precedent my neighborhood has a right to selectively deny them access!

Media could have done this years ago. Never forget that the reason they did not was because "The Politics Show!" starring... that zany Donald J Trump! was solid $ ratings and required no writers, journalists or other significant production expenses.

Everybody, if I ask you instead instead of google be flattered I esteem your human intelligence over $trillions worth of fake intelligence. I have had it wading through contradictory answers and slop.

You want efficient transit? The easy part is spending money to build and run it. The hard part is not having everything so hopelessly sprawled about that driving remains necessary for everyone. #RhodeIsland has the hard part in the bag but keeps choking on the easy part. motifri.com/free-range-r...

The entire history of map shops is the good ones are destinations, institutions, that customers with any measure of enthusiasm make their way to. Maps shops in high rent locations fail if they devote space to geeky maps instead of souvenirs and such.

Only one component of this project is likely to measurably improve service from any rider's point of view: Connecting Exchange street to Gaspee st will shorten a few routes by several minutes.

Every healthily curious person needs at least some true crime and gory war books/movies material. Just worry about those who never get enough of it.

Legibility of effort ennobles even genre output. A big reason slop repulses is the obviousness that nobody gave enough of a shit to actually create it. I will look twice only at works that let me know a human put time into making me notice.

Don't care how many great use cases it has. The number of people who actually have a worthwhile use case in their daily life is tiny.

I have an early memory experiencing the burbs while not in a car, being very annoyed and thinking if I were born with 4 wheels instead of 2 feet I would like it here. Those people letting themselves turn into cars were weird

The bus service is just too skimpy for me to recommend Slater Park for 2f2b excursions. It is a very nice path back down there though. And the non- exorbitant snack bar is much to Pawtucket's credit.

Hot Club is that bar where sooner or later you meet just about anyone who is anybody in Rhode Island. If you go more than once you are a regular! Go there tomorrow Tuesday July 21, 6pm. Check out the brand new 2 Feet 2 Bucks maps and posters - and buy some to benefit @pvdstreets.org !

That 37% that keeps showing up in polls are people actively taking advantage of the corruption, criming and impunity plus wannabes. Remember when it was 27%?

OK, nowhere in the USA measures up to Europe. But is vacation travel via active transportation completely impossible here? It can be done in Rhode Island, a few transit rich cities... anyplace else? usa.streetsblog.org/2026/07/09/s...

Paper map users gain various perspectives on given territories by reading maps at different scales, with different editorial emphases. Adaptable functional awareness of the reality you inhabit is indispensable to personal autonomy. Don't surrender to One Map to Rule Us All.

Is the abysmal failure to take advantage of our population density by investing in transit and safe micro mobility instead of unaffordable, traffic generating mega highways what they mean by poor infrastructure?

Any socialistic sector of the economy Fox can't paint as a bogeyman for whatever reasons is not labeled socialism. For instance "Too Big to Fail" is socialism.

Give NYers a cheap ride to shore towns and ferries too. Half the car owners in NYC keep it solely for weekend trips. They would love an alternative.

MBTA Providence line and shore line east should be combined into one frequent EMU service. It's peak fares on NEC almost all the damn time now. Give Boston and PVD a cheap 2 seat ride to NYC. Get cars off 95.

you need not lift it to flip it. Lift the long handle (plenty of leverage) about 45 degrees and the round shape makes it easy to flip while it rests the hinge rests on the stovetop. doesn't scratch the glass either.

This 19 pound waffle iron must be over 100 years old- guessing it was made for use on woodstoves. Works like a miracle on the newfangled induction range!
