Cannabis – Another Shot at Legalization
Rep Scott Slater Truck tolling got all the attention this week at the statehouse, but stalwart efforts to introduce a legislative change that would likely have 1000 times the financial impact on daily lives in RI also took a small step forward, if mostly under the radar. Tax and Regulate legislation was proposed and will […]
Local Author’s “The Changing Season” Coming Feb 16
Local author Steven Manchester is known for being a prolific, heartfelt author who also wrote and directed his first play last year, which I also covered for Motif. His latest work, The Changing Season is due out on February 16, 2016. I was fortunate enough to get an advance copy of his work, and although […]
Follow Your Nose to Providence Perfume Company
When Providence Perfume Company owner Charna Ethier offered to let me sample an all-natural perfume whose ingredients list included some obscure thing called “ambergris,” I was initially a bit skeptical. I remembered hearing once that they put skunk urine in some perfumes (is that true?). But I was also overwhelmingly optimistic. This was over a […]
The Next Crop of Poets
Don’t tell me that the current generation of young people has fried its collective brain with too much screen time. Don’t tell me either that teenagers spend their days playing video games, eating Cheetos and wasting time while draining their minds of good old-fashioned creativity. Well, tell me if you must, but be ready for […]
Alt-Nation: A Celebration, A Film, and Shows You Don’t Want to Miss

On another note, to hear some tasty cuts from some of these upcoming shows, the best in […]

Brown University owns a northern parcel of the land, where its Admissions Office is currently located. The southern section had been […]
Eat Local: There Are Still Plenty of Treats to Be Enjoyed
With the nights drawing in and the first snow having fallen (albeit a very light dusting!) Winter is well and truly on its way. That doesn’t mean that seasonal treats are lacking, though; now is the time for hearty winter squashes, robust leafed greens, warm spices and sweet roasted nuts and dried berries. Roasting is […]
Know Your Mom and Pop: American Pride Plumbing & Heating
Being a plumber is a seemingly thankless job. It’s the type of work no one truly appreciates until the toilet becomes so clogged that water flows over the side or a pipe bursts at 3am. Plumbers are more known for their infamous crack than their dedication to the craft. A lot of work goes into […]
Barefoot in the Park Explores the Timeless Struggles of Young Love
Barefoot in the Park, which recently opened at Trinity Repertory Company, is a silly, lightweight confection that coasts on the appeal of the stars: real-life engaged couple Rebecca Gibel and Charlie Thurston. Gibel and Thurston play Corie and Paul, newlyweds who move into a fifth floor apartment in New York City. The place is threadbare: no furniture, […]
