I think “not a member” status is permanent rather than a temporary benching. Only the Maine division of the dynamic duo survives.
It's interesting, Geoff, that you talk trash here but you are a very active participant in the Massachusetts crime threads.
Meanwhile, our resident slumlord just assumes look for his latest quick Section 8 flip rather than putting some actual effort into solving the deep problems facing South Providence.

You are such a sad keyboard warrior. Get out of the basement and get some sunshine there in the woods.

No. I only participate in New Bedford and occasionally Fall River threads. I’m a couple of miles from New Bedford. Like anywhere urban, my view using the city in daylight is different from buying drugs and hookers at midnight. I use the butcher at Weld Square. I buy my fish on Blackmer Street across Route 18 from where the Saturday night shootings were. I eat at the two Portuguese restaurants on County Street a block from there occasionally. In warmer weather, we’re in downtown New Bedford all the time.

Isn’t it black fly season in Maine already? You can’t go outside. You’ll get eaten alive. LOL. I guess it’s still mud month so the roads are impassable.
Spring skiing at Killington, I’d occasionally ski through a swarm. Picking black flies out of my teeth is part of the experience.
So apparently, this wasn't in the ELMWOOD HISTORIC DISTRICT "per se". It's very near BROAD ST. and the notorious LIT LOUNGE. JOHNNY'S FOOD TRUCK is very close by. These people were apparently shot as they were walking along minding their own. This could have been somebody who parked there while they ran over to grab a hot empanada at Johnny's. Take that into consideration, folks.
"Police report finding multiple spent shell casings at the intersection of Lenox Avenue and Emerson Street and a large pool of blood in front of 30 Lenox Avenue."
I accidentally posted this in the drug trade thread, when it should really be posted over here. A man was shot outside the WONDERLAND strip club on Allens Ave.. A fight had broken out between two groups (aka. gangs), and one of the "groups" returned in a black SUV and shot a 30-year-old man from the other "group".
But thankfully, we had the Providence PD on task who managed to take 5 guns off the street within one hour of the shooting. I repeat. FIVE GUNS OFF THE STREET within one hour! While South Providence remains a gang ridden he##hole, thank God we have these men in blue risking their lives every day and night to bring some level of order to the madness.
"There needs to be a transformation of expectation. City leaders need to drop the crutch of statistics. Each time after a brutal and vicious series of shootings or murders, one Providence city official or another cites some statistic that compares the violence to a worse period in the city’s history. Well, that should make us all feel better. Except it doesn't. Providence needs a mayor that believes the violence is unacceptable. The candidates recently weighed in on the wave of juvenile crime in the city. It was mostly buzzwords about the need for "community supports" and "wrap-around services" -- no concrete solutions, no sense of urgency, and certainly nothing markedly different than Elorza's failed approach. Now, it is clear that four individual shot this weekend is not enough. Not enough for policy changes. Not enough for utterances of disgust. Nor, even, a Tweet. Not even a social media post offering "thoughts and prayers." On to PVDFest."

Victim in the WONDERLAND shooting has dies of his injuries. They are calling it the 5th homicide of the year, which confuses me because I am counting only 3 others (afterhours party near the Apsara on Elmwood Ave., woman shot to death on Harold St., and the woman killed in the bathtub on Parkis Ave.). Is there another one I'm missing??? Either way, this shooting outside the WONDERLAND was a homicide.
When police responded to reports of a loud party in this very problematic area of (272) Manton Ave., shots rang out in the background. Police quickly located Joseph Trott, age 41, by the bike path, and arrested him. Somebody had "thrown the gun at him", he said...
