Last year around this time in the season, my restless friends and I began to develop a new hobby. Refusing to be kept indoors by the cold weather, we set out to the woods in pursuit of a new kind of adventure. Perhaps it could be described as culinary hiking, or maybe extreme picnicking. Either […]
A new bar scene is coming to Pawtucket in the Hope Artiste Village, just a stone’s throw from the Providence line, and will enable patrons to watch scenes from The Big Lebowski and Kingpin while drinking beer (or White Russians, for Dudes who abide) and playing a little duckpin bowling themselves.

This year’s home season in Providence Roller Derby has demonstrated that all three teams are motivated to fight to the bitter end. Fortunately for The Mob Squad, they remained undefeated against both the Sakonnet River Roller Rats and the Old Money Honeys, thereby clinching their seat in the 2014 Home Team Championship Game at the […]
