I want to send a special thank you to the East Providence police department. During this difficult…read moretime many parents have had to cancel birthday parties for their children, leaving parents to scramble, trying to figure out how to make the day as special as possible. The EP Police were able to make the kids birthday's memorable by doing a drive by with lights, sirens and happy birthday messages from the officers! I know they are very busy but both my husband and I along with our son thank them for helping us make some special birthday memories in an otherwise difficult time!

All heck was breaking loose with one car running the stop sign and hitting two other cars. I was a…read morewitness and first to ring 911. "You called it in, saw what happened?" "Yes officer, that car went X, and then Y, and then Z and then I called." "X, Y and then Z?" "Yes." "Thanks for the facts, and for calling it in and for hanging out and giving the eye witness." "No problem, just the facts." So there you have it. Complete mayhem, a dangerous scene, ambulances and hook and ladders, plus every yahoo recording the action on their cell phone and yelling "woot, woot!" while smoking blunts. But the PPD mopped everything up, saw to the safety of the peeps and got things back on track for the citizens. The bottom line is that the police did a great job managing a complete shitshow and I for one am better off for their competence.

I was recently the unfortunate victim of a hit and run. Just in case the headache from the fallout…read moreof the accident wasn't enough, dealing with the Providence police department was a huge headache. Everyone I was finally able to speak to was miserable and clearly hated their jobs. I'm sorry I need to disturb you, but I am thankfully not familiar with the process after an accident, especially after a hit and run. It was really nice to feel like such a burden while also dealing with everything else. The officer who responded was ok, but everyone else made me dread ever having to call back. Unfortunately, I am not done dealing with them since I still need an accident report and their hours are limited to my work hours, so I have the pleasure of dealing with them again in the middle of my workday (and paying for it), I can't wait.

I went in and you get scanned as well as your purse or bag. You then need to provide your driver's license, so they can generate a visitor's pass.

A nice experience.

People from Scituate, Massachusetts settled in Scituate, Rhode Island in 1710. By 1731, it became…read morean official town. In 1915, the Scituate Reservoir was created for water supply for the people of Rhode Island. Parts of the town (38%) were demolished and burned for this to happen; many people had to move. There are about 10,000 residents currently. When driving around, the area is rural but close to everything. School system is also great. The neighborhood is safe and desirable. Every October, they host the Scituate Art Festival; tons of vendors and a popular tradition for the locals. There are some small shops, cafes, and stores in town, but not much. You would have to go to neighboring towns for leisure and shopping. There are farms and parks; just a rural small town. However, a great place to raise a family.

On September 23, I attended a Sublimation Tote Bag Workshop at 5:30 pm at South Providence Library…read more Canvas tote bags, pre-printed images on sublimation paper, scissors, and heat-resistant tape were laid out on the table. There were two options to design the bag: Option A: Make a collage-style tote using pre-printed images and Option B: Create a fully custom tote using your own images (from your phone, the internet, or personal photos). I took a look at the pre-printed images and they were great for my tote bag. Great job to Sarah for picking these images! There were a great variety. After I chose the pre-printed images and created my design on the canvas tote bag, Sarah showed me how to use the heat press machine. The heat press machine needed to warm up to 390 degrees. Sarah also checked the bag to make sure they're clean and didn't have any creases. I first pressed the background on the sublimation paper face down and then I used heat-resistant tape to hold in place the characters face down on top and pressed again. The tote came out great and it didn't take long at all. The Sublimation Tote Bag Workshop at South Providence Library was so much fun and I was able to create my own one-of-a-kind tote bag using the sublimation press. Sarah was a great instructor and very friendly. Only 4 people including myself were doing the workshop. I hope more people attend the workshops in the future. South Providence Library is located on Prairie Ave and it is a two way narrow street. When I arrived about 5:30pm, it was quite busy and I parked about a block away. There is street parking available.

A historic branch…read more Most branch libraries are pretty small and undistinguished, useful but certainly not very interesting or aesthetically appealing. But there are exceptions. The South Providence Branch Library is one of those exceptions. Designed and built by Howe and Rathbone in 1930, the library was actually placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1998. Not one of the grand and stunning libraries that are so common around New England, this library does have it's charms. Nice staircases and lighting and even a fireplace or two, it's obvious that this library isn't just something thrown up by the lowest bidder. Parking can be a be iffy and the building doesn't really stand out from the outside, but this library deserves more than just a casual glance to appreciate it's beauty.
