One of the advantages of being young and stupid in such a go, Go, GO! world is that you can pretend that by the time you’re all old and craggly, the wizards will have cured all the scary degenerative ickies that await on the other end — cancer, Alzheimer’s, baldness, etc. And then, one day, …
It’s a little bit awkward to navigate — it turns out that the three bodies found in a South Providence home this week weren’t the result of foul play. Retrospectively, is this a relief or not? I don’t know. The perpetrator wasn’t a human with an axe to grind, but rather a faulty heating system …

Get un-mugged: So I got mugged the other night. I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner, to be honest, given the amount of aimless wandering I’ve done in Providence, DC, New York, and Boston over the last, oh, decade or so. (I guess I could count the time I outran that SUV, as it barreled down …
And Scott Mackay’s no blindly cheery dude, either. So there must be some okay stuff going on: Yet 2007 wasn’t all traffic jams, layoffs and plea bargains. Rhode Island colleges and universities were rated among the most prestigious in the United States, our health-care system is one of the nation’s tops, and philanthropist Warren Alpert …

The report covers the 12 months ending in …

Here’s some of it. (Note that there’s one lonely option during the post-9pm window): 5:30pm. Urban Planet holiday shindig at MoJo’s 6-9pm. Millcraft at Firehouse 13: This year’s artwork varies in character and price as well as it does in flavor and attitude. Quirky shirts, cool-ass cups, and new wave action figures are among some …
Please join us as we celebrate the season, our friends, the spirit of giving, and more importantly our first three months online. Has it been that long? Seems like two. Rest assured there will be no local celebrities appearing at this party. And, as previously mentioned, this is a dress-to-impress type party so wear your …

Providence Monthly, our loveable local glossy about shopping and where to get your nails did, has embarked on their annual quest to find Providence’s most eligible white person. Here’s a link to the questionnaire, which I’m sure none of our readers will savagely abuse, but it’s the print version that I love; on page 71 …
