Providence is beautiful in the fall 🍁

I live in Boston and had the chance to spend 2 days in Providence last week :)

Was blessed with beautiful weather on the first day, so I explored Roger Williams Park and managed to catch golden hour at Prospect Terrace for the first shot. The second day was rainy, so I explored the public library, RISD Museum, and browsed bookstores around downtown Providence.

You guys have a beautiful city - I'm hoping to return sometime. If you have any recommendations for restaurants or things to see, please let me know!

7 Upvotes

Options Magazine has been part of our LBGTQ community for over 40 years. It has been essential for queer media and uplifting queer writers. I got my first opportunity as a writer with Options in 2018. We’ve gone through a lot of changes and loss in the past few years but we want to keep it alive. Events like this help us raise money so that we can continue for another 40 years and beyond. I would truly appreciate your support in purchasing tickets and joining us on this joyous occasion. A lot of work has gone into securing raffle prizes from our amazing community, getting a venue on the perfect date and making sure the venue looks beautiful. We also have a one of a kind VIP experience. I will also be making my debut as an up and coming DJ! I’m curating an amazing playlist to keep you dancing all night. I’m DJ BlueKinkz and I can’t wait to spend the night keeping you dancing and supporting queer media and writers! Please purchase your tickets today! https://posh.vip/e/a-night-behind-the-mask

EDIT: FOUND!!! He came home :,) first thing he did was go to the litter box and pee like he’d never peed before

pics left up for tax

This is Batman. He got out last night and hasn’t been seen since. He is not an outdoor boy. He has zero survival skills. Please help me bring my chubby baby home if you’ve seen him near Broad Street/Roger Williams Park.

He sleeps in my arms every night and tonight will be the second night without him and I don’t know if I’ll survive 😭

Coming to the area for a Pats game and I have some questions

• Upvotes

Would it be better to fly into and stay in Providence for a week and take the train to Boston for a day, or do the opposite? Stay in Boston and take the T to Providence for a day or two? We will be going to Foxborough on Sunday.

Will be in town Nov. 7-14 (but the 14th won't count as a day).

Any advice? Tips on where to stay and what to do? We've never been to the area and would love to get some help beforehand. Thank you!

Loose cat near North Main

19 Upvotes

Saw a cat while walking over Barbara Leonard Way, which is basically a bridge over the hihway. The cat was on a grassy hill. Talking white with cowlike black blotches and a red collar. I couldn't get to the cat because of the fence, and he or she was already retreating from me, but someone might be able to get to him or her from the other direction.

Recommendations PYO apples in Rhode Island

5 Upvotes

When I was a college student some 30 years ago, I went apple picking somewhere in or not far from Rhode Island. The orchard was beautiful. The apple trees were larger and older than you typically find at orchards and the terrain was quite hilly. In recent years I've gone to many Rhode Island pyo orchards hoping each one would be that beautiful orchard I visited years ago. While they've all been good with respect to the apples, I haven't been able to find that beautiful orchard I visited back in the 90s. Maybe it doesn't exist anymore. If anyone has an idea of where this might be please share. Thank you!

Christmas Kiosk in the Providence Place Mall-Early 2000's

3 Upvotes

This is a super long shot but does anyone remember this kiosk in the Providence Place Mall? We bought stockings there and I want to get another one and I cannot find anything similar now. I figured they must have had a storefront somewhere? or anyone who knew the people who owned it? I looked on Etsy too for something similar but nothing has compared-they are really nice. Thank you

Discussion Does it surprise you that RI ranks 5th in this study on states with the most future-proof workforces? Looks like it got a lot of points for growth in future-tech private businesses and future-focused employment from 2020-2025, as well as share of degrees awarded in science and engineering.
