“A teeny tiny bookstore catering to H.P. Lovecraft, mysticism, and the occult, with some horror and rpgs thrown in. I was looking for more used books or branded merch, but I did purchase some stickers and a couple of postcards. It's a cool stop if you're in the area but your visit will be short.”
“We didn’t get a chance to experience the real water fire event as there is no event scheduled when we went but overall the look and feel is great and must visit when the event is happening”

“Amos house is a great resource center and they give out free lunch every day launch ends at 12:30 not sure what time it starts not sure what all they help with best way to find out is go there and inquire I am grateful for Amos house ?”
“My daughter’s precious cat had sadly passed, so we headed to the RISPCA this past November to seek a new boy. The folks there could not have been more welcoming, and the facility is impressive! In the very clean cat room we were shown the available cats, some taken from a terrible hoarding situation. My daughter immediately found her new little boy, and the staff were delighted that we were taking him home. Despite his past neglect, he is sweet, loving, and playful, and he quickly became a very loved part of our family of four humans and three felines.
RISPCA is the best!”
“Christine is one of the kindest most amazing people I have ever met. She dedicates her life to saving these majestic animals! Thank you!! This facility does more than the SPCA and any town animal control. They actually don’t care much. Paws watch does so much to stop the suffering of cats. Did you know most kittens born outside die after much suffering before they reach adulthood. Simply amazing people.”

“What an amazing group of people. There is a passion to help each other, which is so encouraging. If you are looking for a business group to join, I highly recommend the Northern Rhode Island Chamber”
“We had an awesome Holiday party in the hall ot the Cercle Laurier! Eric was an excellent bartender and Paul coordinated to make sure everything was just right for us. We'll definitely be back again! Everyone said it was our best party to date.”
“My first time here at a show/exhibit and Sooo impressed!!! What a GEM of an establishment with the staff~members to match and I was so pleasantly surprised by the art & greenery in the outside- rear of the building. I even enjoyed the restroom...
I grew up in this area and I couldn't have imagined something like this here all those years ago although the talent was and still is alive and well right here.
Kudos for bringing this vision to life, it's beautiful and inspiring to see⭐⭐⭐”
“Trying to do a hike a day during the pandemic. Cheaper than 24-hour therapy. This Sunday we also needed books and groceries. This hike was perfect: did all the trails, took about 1.25 hours. Up and down. You always heard traffic ... but it couldn't get you. Encountered a half-dozen others, everyone masked. Muddy in spots because of rain ... but we wore boots. Then we headed over to the mall you can see next door: Barnes & Noble + Dave's, one of the best food emporiums we know (and we know the outdoor markets of France intimately). A good day. Sanitized our hands three times.”
“You can tell these women put their heart and souls into the food. It is a perfect mix of middle eastern quizine. Their bread rivals five stars bread in town and their meals are a beautiful medley of flavors that light up your senses. To eat this food, the first word came to mind was happiness. I ate their lamb meal and couldn’t wait to find out when they were on the delivery apps so i could order through them.”
“I can't express enough gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Tatayana and Rayanny at Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island. They were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate while assisting Shagufta with her immigration case.
Tatayana's expertise and thorough understanding of the immigration process were invaluable. She made sure every detail was covered, providing clear explanations and guidance every step of the way. Her dedication to helping us was truly remarkable.
Rayanny's support was equally impressive. She went above and beyond to ensure Shagufta felt comfortable and confident throughout the process. Her kindness and patience were greatly appreciated, making a complex and stressful situation much more manageable.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Tatayana and Rayanny, Shagufta's case was handled efficiently and successfully. I highly recommend Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island for their exceptional service and the amazing team they have. Thank you, Tatayana and Rayanny, for your dedication and hard work!

“They come by your area often. Very friendly. This makes taking all good items to a local dump unnecessary. It feels great to donate items you don’t use anymore.”
“Awesome place to get a new (used) bike. John helped us today and he was awesome. Fantastic service, love it. Definitely the place to go for all your bike related needs.”
“Amazing residence. The staff are so caring and helpful. Food and house goods almost weekly donated. Amazing place for battered woman and their children. Highly recommended”
“These guys are INCREDIBLE… I bought a guitar from them and it wasn’t right for me although it played beautifully. It arrived2 days after I ordered it by FedEx!!!
The guitar wasnt the right one for me so I called them to ask if I could return It and get a refund. The woman I spoke to didn’t even ask why.,, she was SOOO nice and said NO PROBLEM.,,sent a fed ex shipping label and they refunded my money.
I’m going to look for the right guitar FROM THEM….and purchase something else.
This company is AMAZING!!! I highly recommend buying from them. I worried I could return it and my daughter said call them and I was blown away. Their prices are great and there’s a Kramer guitar for 230 that for beginners is perfect. If I could have given them more stars I would!!!”
“Wonderful organization that cares deeply for animals and can help put you in contact with various animal rescue, adoption, and veterinary services in Rhode Island.”

I'm lost for words I, can't thank ? you both enough.Thanks, Joan & KimYou both have a heart of gold.”
“The outdoors club I run just hosted our annual meeting here and we had a great experience. It is easy to get to, has lots of parking, and the price is just right to rent the room. We had about 50 people and could have definitely fit more and still felt comfortable. Lots of plugs for our AV equipment. We brought our own catering and paid for folks sodas and then had a cash bar. The bar is right there in the room (looks nice, it is just for the room, there is a members bar downstairs). The fellow we worked with was great as well and gave us a great catering recommendation.”
“If you’re looking for something worthwhile to donate to, donate to the Ronald McDonald House. Clean, supportive, and safe, these houses really make the long-term hospital stay so much easier.”
“I purchased two t-shirts from riverzedge. Not only are the designs fantastic but the quality of the shirts is top notch. I look cool. I feel comfortable and I get to support a great organization. Highly recommend!”

“I must say that they really go out on the limb.I am currently in the midst of transition...from disability to functioning in the workforce. And in need of proper assistance.Well the assigned staff councilor had come in an hour earlier just to meet with me. Micheal was very welcoming and understanding to my situation. He was thorough in informing me of what my options were.John the director and some of the other staff members were very warm and hospitable.In my observations..as I toured the facility.. I took notice of much they offer and the things they do.In a few weeks I have to return to see my councillor to see what my prospects are.Knowing these professionals..I'm certain everything's in my favor.”
“A wonderful place to donate clothing and other textiles for people in need. I've dropped off many bags of good used clothes here over the years. Most recently, the donation bins have been abandoned in favor of actually giving your donations to a person. This keeps down the illegal dumping (which I unfortunately would see the results of many times), and limits when you can drop off goods to when they're open, but it's not a terrible thing.”
“Very friendly bartenders and owners, reasonably priced for hall renting, affordable beverages. Interior is much more modernized than other VMF, but still has the same charm as a post.
Every bartender offered condolences for our memorial celebration gathering.”
“Smithfield YMCA has been great for both after-school care and summer camp. Spots fill up so fast for a reason! They are organized, communicative, and really try to structure activities so the kids have a great time. Highly recommend!”
