Thanks for the info, I still find it amazing at how he can attract people and have people follow his ideology almost religiously.
after reading the article, it said that 5000 were inside and 5000 were outside and listened to an abbreviated version of the address he gave inside (so i guess RIC doesn't have a place that holds 10k).
-
any info on the number of people who attended the rally?
front page of projo.com says 10,000.
-
i was just stuck in traffic because the obama motorcade was leaving. unfortunately, i didn't get to check out the rally because i had a ton of stuff to do all afternoon.
-
Seriously? Anything going in that spot adding to traffic will officially freeze everything on Mineral Springs Ave...

At his Westminster office, isn't it? But they won't say exactly when.
so basically no one but the people that can fit into that little space get to see him? i doubt that's where he's going. that'd be pointless to try to build votes. the projo 7to7 blog said sometime early afternoon.

Last, but not least... Barack Obama will also be making an appearance this Saturday.
yes he will... i'm hoping to check it out if they ever announce when and where.
-
RI has become important in the political race this year and we have seen Hillary, Huckabee, and McCain.
you forgot to mention that mrs. obama was here last week.

i just checked outside. it isn't snowing.

i have to say that the one thing i really miss about living near new haven is news channel 8, the new haven abc affiliate. they have it together and everyone on the channel is super professional and really good at what they do, with maybe 1 exception (a weatherman who's just annoying and odd).
-
OMG ABC6 news at 4 is horrendous. I watched it today to see if Cotuit was right and wow was he ever. The newscasters are two blonde bimbos and one smarmy guy whos only role is to make middle school jokes at Fred Campagna and laugh obnoxiously. This newscast makes tmz on Fox look like CNN...
if one of those blonde bimbos was melissa mahan... mmmmmmmm...

Here's some interesting reading.

interesting, for every post from someone who moved to the south and loves it, there's another saying how the south is really no better. people are strange. i think they just see what they want and believe what they want.

the new BCBS building is actually going to be taller than the 2 waterplace towers?
-
The weather outside is salty. Every time I go outside I feel like I have to wash my face.

why does the projo allow comments like these in their polls??
"January 21, 2008 04:26 p.m.
It was better when they all stayed in the closet. They are disgusting people."
concerning the gay evolution poll
that's actually quite sickening... there's some other doozies in there in the other polls on there. and i found bishop tobin's interview to be quite amusing considering he's been so outspoken against gay marriage (to the point of requiring the parishes in the diocese to put his anti-gay-marriage agenda in their marriage prep class materials).
EDIT: taht's actually a great report, one of the better ones i've seen in the projo..
-
We had a much better snow phallic in Albany when I was there, it was 3D and 6 feet tall.
-
i've actually seen more plows out and about (and actually plowing) today than i have in my 4 years in providence. all i haev to say is... it's about f'n time.
-
it looks like the city didn't want to take any heat for snow cleanup after the last storm... i just saw 2 plows go by in different directions! 2 plows!
of course, i don't have to work today because the college is closed!!!

This fancy link gives you a nice look at everything they are adding.
I think House of Blues is a great choice, but adding House of Blues, Margaritaville, 4 additional bars, 2 resturants to the Dubliner etc maked this a signifigant entertainment hub for the non gambler.
My wifes family is from Montville and occasionally have met her sister or an old friend for a drink there and I actually may enjoy doing that after this is built.
Kudos!

I wonder how much the city would profit if it enforced sidewalk snow removal as much as red light running.
I walked from my house in the Bucket all the way down Hope St. through Thayer and down to Wickenden this morning. I came back on Brook for that portion. I would say roughly 40% of sidewalks were uncleared. That's completely stupid.

I took the 2PM train from Boston (which was standing room only all the way to Attleboro), got off at 3:20 and walked to doctor's office on Promenade (which was a parking lot)near Pleasant Valley, walked back to the East Side near Wayland Square and was home by 5:30, including a stop at City Sports to check out parkas. Apparently it never occurred to healthy people who live in the city to just walk home!
For the 41 percent of Rhode Islanders who, when polled about use of mass transit of any kind, said there was absolutely nothing anyone could do to get them out of their cars --- I really wanted to wave a sign saying "NOW would you support a subway system, or at least a dedicated light rail line?"
-
That was the problem. EVERYONE left right around 1:00. Up here in Mass we had people who took 7 or more hours to do what is normally a 45 minute commute. There were a lot of people who never made it home - they ended up making it to a relatives house and stayed there. Needless to say there is a LOT of discussion going on at the state level about this. The general consensus is that people should have started leaving BEFORE the snow started to fall - it was falling to much to fast right at the beginning and the plows could barely keep up without the traffic.
-
I don't understand what the hell happened yesterday. Were smarter than that. We've learned from past storms what to do, and what not to do. What the hell happened!!!???
-
the roads around me still look like crap, but our landlord actually got a plow out to our house to plow our little lot.
-
the people at PC decided at 1 to close at 3 (of course we're in the middle of finals). there was alraedy about 3 inches at 1, but they wanted a few more before they closed and everyone ahd to drive home. took me 2.5 hours to get home. i wish i had taken the bus today, i would've just walked home and it would've been faster. there was a bus stuck between valley and academy on atwells, couldn't make it up the hill, and what looked like an accident blocking the other lane. i have never seen this city come to such a standstill because of snow. this was ridiculous. the only plowed streets were the smaller ones. and no one is courteous on the road, everyone wants to block intersections just so they can get 2 feet farther.

in contrast, hillary only drew 2000 people to RIC (also from the same article... i guess i should find it and link it).
