Hey Pawtucket!

I started a new weekly podcast that dropped last week on all things New England strange called Weirder After Dark! We are three cousins, born and raised in the North East, who mix humor with facts to take you on a journey into all things New England weird—our current episode, which dropped 12/3 is on The Berkshire Abductions! An incident where 200+ people claim to have seen a UFO and 3 people claim to have been abducted on the same night!

To give you a taste of what else we offer, we have future episodes on the Jane Toppan (Serial Killer from MA), The Lake Winnipesaukee Mystery Stone, Bridgewater Triangle, Smuttynose murders, Coos County Wood Devils, The Kennedys etc! We also already dropped an episode on the Haunted S.K. Peirce Mansion from Gardner, Ma!

We'd love to hear ideas on other local New England mysteries for us to go after! If you know/have anything spooky, share it here! Feel free to reach out if you've had any strange experiences with the paranormal, aliens, weird events, unknown artifacts, cryptids, or urban legends!

Also, if this sounds like your vibe, feel free to follow/subscribe/listen on the following platforms:

Please sign this petition!

Seems rather obvious to not take away a park from the local children. Can’t believe we have to petition to not pave over a baseball field next to a river way. Meanwhile, a majority of the land in that area is already parking lots. We must stand up to the mayor/ business interests and protect the land and the community. We need to conserve our resources. There is currently ample parking in the adjacent lots, the business looking to park there can just rent from the other businesses.

Morley Field also is one of the only areas where the Moshassuck River is accessible in Pawtucket. I walked down there and it was nice. It is not perfect by any means, there is a highway adjacent to the river, but that is a different fight all together. It was surprisingly serene down there and I saw a rare osprey which is a bird of prey.

Morley Field was gifted to Pawtucket by the national park service I believe which is the only reason it currently isn’t a parking lot. It is absurd that the city has closed the park off with a fence for at least a year while these negotiations are in the midst.

You're not that important and you're not saving yourself any time, you're just getting to the red light three seconds faster

The information provided is that they're asking us to determine our service line material type, and this is how they say to do it:

The best way to determine the material of your water service line is to call Hydro Utilites at 1-800-983-8080 and make an appointment to get your meter replaced.

That number takes me to a sketchy as heck robo menu asking about my age and medicaid benefits. Anyone else get this letter or know what's going on?

UPDATE

The 866 983 8080 number worked. They told me I would receive another letter in 90 days with a work order number and then I could make an appointment. If your letter doesn't have a work order number, I expect you might get the same answer.

The amount of people per capita that have voted in Pawtucket is depressingly low. Right now there's only 16,000 votes from 75,000 people. Please go out and vote!

Looking to start a band

Does anyone know what in the world goes on at the Apex building on random Saturday mornings?

I noticed this once a few months ago and again this morning at around 9am. Cars are lined up waiting to get in the parking lot, and the traffic is backed up for at least a mile down Roosevelt/Taft streets, all the way down to the soccer stadium site.

I haven’t gotten close enough to see what is going on there, but I’m just so curious. I tried googling, but nothing really comes up, so I thought I'd put my question here.

Spots still open! Sign up your team today or sign up as a free agent and meet new people!

Hello, we (family of 4) are potentially relocating to the Providence area next year and I am wondering what I should budget for utilities: water, power, gas, trash, Internet, etc.

There seems to be some conflicting information when I dig around online.

Looking for a few more players to round out a volleyball team. Playing Wednesday nights beginning 10/6. Anyone interested or know someone who might be!!?

Sorry for kind of a shitpost, but I'm going to say this.

If Grebien and co. can pull of getting Hasbro in on redeveloping the riverfront at the Apex site I would have to tip my cap. Like, in a very real sense, pulling jobs from Newport Ave and putting them downtown is not amazing, but it's better than having them go to Boston, and if you move a bunch of jobs downtown then maybe you can get some more business for some lunch spots, etc. IDK.

I kind of really hate Newport Ave a lot, so I have a bias. It would definitely suck for the businesses over there though.
