Rhode Island state capitol.
Nothing to be afraid of.
Diverse melting
pot style neighborhoods......Going down the toilet since the "corrupt" mayor got tossed.
Mr. Cianci may have not done things the way others would...but he got shit done and the city was better off.
The major free local publication(The Providence
Phoenix) is a complete peice of shit rag that doesn't have the slightest clue about anything going on in the underground music scene (hip hop or
rock) and they just step on and devastate the local music scene with their horrible
bullshit in print.
the bad neighborhoods aren't even that bad if you think of human beings as human beings.....
I'm a scrawny white kid and I ride my bike through south prov and olneyville when its dark and light and never have problems.
There are alot of prejudice
people and there are alot of pollitically correct
people.....neither of which I really care for..
apparently there is a mob presence but I doubt like hell anyone ever "actually" witnesses any presence except for
italian people eating italian food at
italian restaraunts...
There is a large club scene here which is completely destroying the music scene and filling our neighborhoods with lousy college kids who have no courtesy for neighbors and drunk drivers flying up and down our streets making the pedestrian population unsafe.
This has the potential to be a great bike city....but it isn't.
Apparently they teach kids how to be juvenile delinquent shitheads at
hope high school because thats what the majority of kids that come out of that school are...( there are always those shining scholar exceptions however )
But most of the time they are just no-good lazy,violent,drug addicted losers that just walk around after school...start riots at the mall and steal from retailers and blast shitty mp3s on there cellphones that sound
like garbage.
This city has a lousy mayor who doesn't know how to do his fucking job and is a complete pansy.
the
police is pretty onpoint......maybe they aren't always taking care of business in the proper order of importance but for the most part they are understanding and helpful in most situations.
Federal hill is just
like any other ordinary restaraunt strip...nothing special...
all in all....providence is losing its appeal very quickly..
boston realtors are constantly moving in,buying up properties and jacking up rents.....
and the new faces jsut aren't as friendly or as educated as the ones that have been here for a while.
I
love this city..it's
beautiful...but its on its way out.
Waterfire sucks too.....nothing but a bunch of out of towners shittin up the joint and causing traffic jams city wide.
