Does anyone have any insight to put me in the right direction, or perhaps know this man's situation to enlighten me?

Two nights in a row now, once on Friday at 11:30pm and once last night a little after midnight, we were driving down Park Ave to Reservoir and at the corner was an older blind man wearing an orange vest with his stick hitting the cross button after searching for it. He then just wandered out into Reservoir Ave with no hesitation or waiting. Luckily both times, people jumped out and rushed to his aid, and helped him across the street to Cumbies. I was absolutely stunned. 10 years ago, my boyfriend saw this same man in broad daylight doing the same thing, only he was yelling help, so my man helped him across back then.

Clearly this poor guy keeps finding himself in really dangerous situations and I can't help but worry and wonder if he has any resources or help at home? Has anyone seen this? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to help?

this was a great, sprawling flea market. i remember being there on extremely hot summer days and it just being dusty as all hell. werent there refreshment stands where u could get dough boys and hotdogs and stuff? just an endless sea of sweaty vendors peddling junk on fold out tables. how long did that flea market run for, and when did it close? they obviously built new england tech where this flea market used to be. its hard to imagine this flea market being there today, it gave hick vibes in a way! this area has largely been gentrified in the last 15 or so years. fairly posh area now. anybody have some fun stories about this old forgotten flea market? used to go there with my dad a lot during weekends in the summer. at the time i didnt really like going, but now its nostalgic

My friend is wanting to get this tattoo on his forearm , could anybody please recommend a tattoo artist in Rhode Island ?

I've been dancing for a long time and just want to meet some people or join some classes that either do hiphop or animation, preferably animation. All the dance studios are tap/jazz/ballet type of stuff which im not interested in. But I'd also love to know where the best places are to find other dancers. I'm trying to join some type of group tbh

At RI's most powerfully symbolic site, down by Narragansetts coast guard lighthouse on the shore there is a shrine set up and all around the shrine are coroded metal important looking structure supports, like evil rotten coroded looking parts set up in symbolically significant ways, just scattered all around the place.

Any help locating across the country and looking for any lofts (none of the brady sullivan or thin walls), something real open and industrial ideally under $3000, I have some big piano types of furniture that I'm hoping these places can accomodate on freight elevators, any suggestions ? Thank you !

Any adult hockey leagues in RI where women play? Looking for a league to join.

just looking for some community run or free or hell even low cost outdoor experiences workout or yoga classes this summer. anywhere in little rhody, open to it all. drop your knowledge below.

I love a boutique workout class but not trying to drop $100-$150 a month this summer to workout and meet people. even a #hotgirlwalk club would be nice.

We are looking to move to RI. Just having finished visiting for about a week and it seems fantastic.

Being from Buffalo, the winters and roads don't scare us and our taxes are higher. Food, water, safe, access to major cities without the eyewatering prices, and tons going on...

So what's the catch?

The only issue I see is your public schools aren't the greatest at least in Providence. They seem better in the surrounding areas (Bristol, Barrington, etc), but are they really?

My in-laws want us to move back to Newport from EP because when my husband moved there 9 years ago it was under $1000 with 10% DOD discount... They think that rent control prevents Harbor Village from raising their prices and if we had stayed they couldn't have raised our rent. MIL also says that we should look for housing on the island because it's close to my husband's job and it's cheap lol

Which salons in Newport do you recommend for a wedding guest updo? Feel free to also drop names if you know of anybody specifically talented at those salons! :)

One of my friends is considering moving to RI. They've heard the cost of utilities is nuts. I see online that electricity is supposed to be 0.10 per kwh from April-October. How much are the service and delivery fees?

What could a normal bill look like based on average usage (RI Energy says 500 kwh per month is average)? I'm worried that their window air conditioners could add like $200 to the bill in the summer.

I recently got accepted into URI and took a tour last week, but I noticed the dining halls seem a bit small for the number of students that attend. Between the 8,000 ish students that are on campus full time, 2 dining halls seems a bit lack luster.

I was wondering if it’s always crowded in there or if it really just depends on the day. How often do you have to leave campus or go somewhere other than a dining hall for food as a student?

My worry is that I’ll end up having to spend more money out of my pocket per week because the dining halls will be too crowded for me to find somewhere to sit and eat.

I’ll be paying close to 30k per year so I just wanna make sure my day to day life will be worth the money I’ll spend, and I don’t want to have to spend more money traveling off campus for food.

Hi all,

Interested in a 2012 motorcycle without a title. Ran the VIN and came back clean. Is it possible to register it without the title and just a bill of sale? If not do you know of any tricks? Like registering out of state? Thanks.

Helping my son who is moving from out of state for a new job. He’s having a hard time finding anything decent in his price range 1 BR up to $1300/mo. He gets no callbacks or they keep him hanging. Any advice?

Today is Rhode Island Independence day, every May 4th

Does anyone know what happened today at around 10:30? My family was just about to park at the mall and then the fire alarm went off! Took no chances and evacuated, but curious to what happened?

Thought it might be a good idea to compile a list of local businesses we all support. I will put it into an excel spreadsheet and post when it’s all said and done. I’ll start:

• Handcrafted pasta- Newport Pasta Co / Little Rhode Pasta
• Gifts- Herbs and Mylk
• Gifts- Noon designs
• Smoothie- T’s Vault Smoothie
• Plants- Jordans Jungle
• Book store- Twenty Stories
• Bodywork- Release Bodywork
• Clothing- Bad Taste PVD
• Cannabis Treats- Luxe Leaf
• Balloons- Balloon Bae PVD

Was too hard to see the name driving by at night but it looked like it was Mama something? Right by Warwick mall. Anyone know the full name / when it’s opening?

Does Allie’s have any donut cakes available for sale if you walk-in or is it exclusively pre-order only?

Any suggestions on finding a furry companion to join our family? I have been ghosted by multiple rescues after going through the whole application and vetting process. I have jumped through all their crazy hoops and given all the required information multiple times and been approved to adopt but when the time comes to meet the dog, I hear nothing back and then all of a sudden the dog is listed as unavailable on petfinder. I really want to adopt a rescue dog but unfortunately all the rescues I have dealt with have left a bad taste in my mouth. I have an opportunity to give a homeless pup a safe and loving home but these so called rescues give their friends/family first pick, and are no better than puppy mills in my opinion. They are in the business of dogs and the non profit rescue ideation has gone completely off rail of its original intention. And I know I am not the only one in the area with these experiences. I have always been 100% adopt don't shop but these "rescues" don't seem to actually have the dog's best interest at heart and I am seriously considering just buying a puppy from a store ... I live a quiet but moderately active life with my husband and our cat. We go for daily walks and weekend adventures. My office is dog friendly and I can bring the dog to work with me. Any advice is more than appreciated.

Hi all, Looking for deep cleaning recommendations in the Providence area. Looking to clean after the current tenants move out. House is VERY dirty (including many spots with animal urine), so probably not a job for the faint of heart. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

My girlfriend and I moved to RI. We need to get VIN checks to register our cars. We co-own a car and the title has been in our name since 2022. It was gifted to us by one of her family members and we have no bill of sale, gift letter, etc. The original title where it was signed over to us was also lost and we have a new one from MA. If the title is in our name, do we still need a bill of sale / letter for the VIN check?

Hi all! To put it short, I am a minor looking to be emancipated from my parents and would love for someone who’s been through this process themselves to reach out & answer some questions. Lawyers, attorneys, and honestly anyone knowledgeable on this matter would also be greatly appreciated. The Rhode Island Office of the Child Advocate says online that “Rhode Island does not currently have an emancipation statute. This means that emancipation from one’s parent is simply not an option.” Which makes me hesitant to reach out to legal aid. Anyone please respond or PM me with any information you could share.

Hi everyone! Just bought a place in EP, and the current location of the internet connection is not ideal for my planned layout. I want to have wired connections in multiple rooms, and potentially even into the detached garage (depending on wifi connection). It might be too complicated of a project to take on myself, so I’m going to need a little bit of help.

Any recommendations? I’m not sure if this requires an electrician, a general contractor, or someone else. Thanks!
