People should need no encouragement this year to do their shopping locally. Our sources assure us that there are zero supply chain issues between local store shelves and your secret hidey-hole in the attic. You walk into a store, you buy a thing, you take it home and you hide it. Then you can relax and enjoy the pleasures of the season.
The Mayor reminds us that shoppers can park for two hours free at parking meters in commercial districts throughout the city.
Earlier this year, the City of Providence announced efforts to encourage local commerce, including free two-hour parking exclusively in commercial districts from 10am to 9pm daily through December 31, 2021.
Dose readers will remember that this is merely a continuation of the amnesty the city declared last May. WPRI has a list of those commercial districts.
Seen here is a file photo of Frog & Toad on Hope Street. Unknown if these exact reindeer are still available.
