There's a thread in the Projects section for the project we've been discussing, so I moved the posts there.

Hey- any news about that fish market on Atwells opening? The sooner I can stop having to drive deep into the East Side for groceries, the happier I'll be. . .

I walked by last week and peeked in. It looks like they completely gutted the place, new walls are up probably new floors. Looks like it will probably be a little while still.

CA Haynes and others will be pleased that the horrible bar and its menacing denizens are gone and Luongo Sq can enjoy the tranquility it did prior to 2002 as pictured here

I drove by a couple times yesterday and saw things getting packed into the Uhaul. I'm so damn angry.

So we woke up this morning to find a brand spankin' new "2 Hour Parking" sign right in front of our home on Broadway. Anyone know the deal with this? I looked across the street, and saw no sign there. I wonder if our block was targeted for some reason, or if it's just a matter of time before the entire street converts?

Between ourselves and our neighbors, we currently have to maneuver 4 cars in one driveway - meaning that we often have to park on the street during the day so that we can all come and go. When I lived in DC, residents were exempt from the 2 hour parking rule on the street - is there anything like this in Providence?

I've lived on Broadway for 10 years and thought the entire street was 2-hour parking; seems like it's been like that for some time. There is no time limit on the side streets which is why I see people parking in the morning and leaving there car there all day.

I've lived here 2 years, and have often left my car out on the street for hours. I wonder if the new sign portends increased enforcement, or if it's not even something to worry about.

i have a feeling there were once signs there and the city is just getting around to replacing them. park on the side streets if need be, or across the street where there is no sign. if they ticket your car, take a picture of it showing no visible signs nearby.

[Cotuit]

Traffic Engineering has been on a rampage of sign replacement, and PPD has stepped up enforcement. New parking enforcement officers have been hired. You may have noticed them travelling in pairs lately, these are new officers in training.

[LMWW]

Thanks for the heads up and for the tips. Luckily, we live on a corner, so we will just stick to the side street from now on.

I love the dog on the bar - what was he drinking?!?

So is there another bar that people from UP hang out at in the West Side? I would love to join sometime..

there's a few of us that always seem to end up at trinity, which isn't far from the west side. the funny thing is, we always order the same thing... IPA and a backyard brewer's burger.
