Looking for Housing Advice and Leads

Hi all!

My husband and I are so excited--we just found out that we're expecting! Absolutely over the moon, but we're looking to find a new apartment. We have great credit and are quiet, tidy homebodies. I'm currently employed in Woonsocket at a middle school but will likely be relocating after this school year, and my husband is finishing up his doctorate at URI in South Kingstown. We are excellent tenants, and can provide references from our landlord and employers. We also have a mid-sized, 45lb dog who is well-trained.

We are looking for any and all leads/advice people might have for apartments/housing. We're currently in Warwick, but are absolutely open to relocating--Providence, South County, Kent County, Newport, and anywhere centrally located. We definitely don't mind driving if there's something more affordable a bit more out of the way. Ideally, we're looking for a studio/1br.

Thanks in advance to everyone who's reading! All advice, pointers, and helpful hints are absolutely welcome. Happy Tuesday!

Why is there spotty cell service in East Greenwich?

I've been playing PoGo for the past year and one of the best places to farm items is Main Street East Greenwich. However, cell service gets spotty to non-existent in very specific areas (fire station to Cathay Garden and around Starbucks). Does anyone know why this happens? Is there something special about service in EG? I'm on Verizon with an iPhone 5S and experience this EVERY time. I have friends on other carriers and differing phones with the same experiences. Anyone out there know the reason why?

Recruiting young adults in Rhode Island who use prescription opioids for research study

Hello!

My name is Jesse. Researchers at the Brown University School of Public Health, located at 121 South Main Street, in Providence, Rhode Island, are recruiting participants for a paid research study about non-medical prescription opioid (NMPO) use among young adults ages 18-29 in Rhode Island. This research study has been approved by the Brown IRB committee.

Results of this study may help organizations, healthcare providers, and others to develop better treatment programs and prevention strategies for young adults in Rhode Island who use prescription painkillers non-medically.

Phase III of our study begins July 29, 2015 and ends on December 31, 2015.

So…

Do you party with Percocets, OxyContins or other painkillers without a prescription… Or use them not as prescribed? Are you 18-29 years old, and do you live in Rhode Island?

We’d like to invite you to participate in our study!

Please call, text, or email us to find out more or to enroll! The survey takes 60 minutes to complete, and is completely confidential. Participants will be paid $25.

I hope this post doesn't violate the rules of this subreddit, but please let me know if it does.
