Summer begins at 12:38pm EDT on June 21 on a bright and busy note. There’s a general feel of optimism and enthusiasm in the air, but the atmosphere is changeable. The urge is for excitement, which produces impulsive actions that don’t always turn out as planned. This season is primed for the unexpected. Communication will help […]
Aries: You’re having fun these days, living in the moment and enjoying every bit of it. At times, you can’t quite keep up with all that is going on around you. As the Moon winds down to the Last Quarter phase, sudden actions, events and news act like lightning bolts jarring you into a reassessment of […]
The year continues to be an uphill battle for the derby girls of PVD, but they refuse to throw in the towel as they are less than a month away from the East Coast Derby Extravaganza being held June 19 – 21 in Feasterville, Penn. It’s already been announced that during the weekend the Riveters take […]
It’s difficult for any local to imagine someone not knowing about WaterFire. But it’s not common knowledge to everyone. I mentioned it to some friends from as nearby as New York, and they’d never heard of WaterFire – even the word suddenly seemed strange.

While I may be known as a critic around these parts I’ll declare this an opinion-free article and just […]
With a Rebel Yell, the former Providence RiRa has returned to life as the Rebel Lounge & Restaurant, which delicately balances being a restaurant during the evening and a night club later on. Also in Downcity PVD, the Red Fin has swum in where Fratelli’s burgers used to be on Washington St. It’s serving seafood […]
I wanted to do things a little differently for this year’s summer reading guide. There are so many fantastic classics out there that go unread unless suffering through it during an English class (which, in theory, takes all of the fun out of reading due to our subconscious hatred of authority). The literary canon is […]
It’s so easy to overdo it. Like when you offer to host a summer barbeque and realize this also means you should have drinks; after creating your bbq sauce from scratch you find yourself muddling mint for 40 drinks … by hand … for two hours. I may have done something like this in the […]
Beyond the blockbusters and the movies on the block, there are several independent and international films and festivals worth looking forward to this summer. For films theatrically, there are lots of alternatives to a vacation, presenting both breathtaking and challenging experiences for all. Let’s dig deeper into that mound of sand for some real buried treasures. […]
