One apostrophe away from greatness

Nothing new here, but makes me laugh every time I walk by. Add an apostrophe and move the space and you’d have the best one-two sign combo in America.

Pro: looks like something is finally taking over the Swan Liquors spot on Hope Street!

Con: some of the worst AI branding I've seen from a new business (also—red flag calling the neighborhood Hope Village, which is in Pawtucket)

Thoughts?

Weird ask about backpack

31 Upvotes

Hi,

Weird ask/ post but here it goes:

I have a lightly used LLBean backpack that I no longer want. It just dosent fit my commuting needs. Large bag, holds a lot. Bought it in November

I know schools starting soon. Rather than give this to savers or who ever who will undoubtedly sell this for $35+, is there anyone locally I can give this to? I’d rather help out someone in the community.

My wife and I would be happy to fill it with school
Supplies as well.

Mechanic recs

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I searched the sub and didn’t find any recent-ish posts on mechanic recs, so I am creating a new one. My beloved 2012 Honda Fit needs some work on the exhaust (I think??). Anyone know of any good mechanics in pvd, Pawtucket, NP, etc? Bonus points if they’re cool with people whose car knowledge is basically just “I can check to see the oil level but everything else is a mystery”. Thanks!

News Rhode Island went all in on the World Cup. Many businesses think it paid off.

197 Upvotes

Rhode Island made a concerted effort to make the most of World Cup euphoria. It created a non-profit to help prepare for the tournament, and took advantage of the state’s proximity to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., to position Providence as an alternative to official host city Boston. A free trolley service from downtown Providence made it easier for fans to explore the area. And the Ghana Black Stars team chose Bryant University in Smithfield as its home base, bringing with them a wave of excitement as the tournament began.

Providence’s Fan Zone recorded approximately 125,000 visitors during the tournament, current estimates from the city show, and became the only official FIFA-sanctioned location in New England after Boston shut down its Fan Festival 16 days into the five week tournament, when the World Cup group matches were over.

“Our primary concern was getting people to Providence to watch the games, to enjoy the culture, and to spend some money while they’re here,” Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said in an interview. “What I’ve heard is that people came.”

Lost/Found Mistaken Grocery Delivery in Fox Point?

0 Upvotes

Did anyone in Fox Point miss a grocery delivery? Two bags worth of food and drinks, I’ll be donating it all if I don’t hear anything because I’m set on food and don’t want it to go bad.

DM if you thinks it’s yours or you think you know who’s it is, I’ll just ask for confirmation of what was in it to make sure! One things I can say it included was a bunch of Oui yogurts.

I miss Cable Car :(

I drove past and saw the clothing biz that occupied the building closed and it just made me wish cable car would come back or something else like it. Yeah we have Avon but those seats are ATROCIOUS xD sitting on a couch just hit different for a theater. And knowing the theater experience is dying before our very eyes just makes me a bit nostalgic.

parking at Center Place Garage // how to enter

0 Upvotes

Hi everybody- I made an online parking reservation in advance for the Center Park Garage, since we are taking an Amtrak train and want to make sure there is no issue parking. I used the Spot Hero app to do so. It mentions a QR code in the instructions, but there is no QR code in the "parking pass" that it displays (and also emailed me). Does anybody have experience with the garage, and in particular, how you enter the garage? Does the just gate just open when you arrive? Thanks!

They showed nearly every game, the drinks weren’t astronomical, & was a free event (if you didn’t buy food etc)

I wish they’d do movie nights or something in that spot

The only downside was parking $$

I left my bike locked by the frame to a bike station right next to brown health university school of health, last night (07/21). I left it locked overnight and it was gone when I came back this morning. This bike has a lot of personal significance for me, my dad just got it for me as a gift and I have no other way of getting around at the moment. If you see it, please let me know. Please leave a comment and I’ll share my contact info
