That's sad about the zoo. I suppose you could bus to Edgewood and then hop a scooter but it's more work. The Eddy St line might get you close to then walk in.

Glad to see the coverage of this. RIPTA is vital for many, and also a great convenience for others even on an occasional basis! I sometimes take the bus to work; it's enjoyable and runs like a clock. Not to mention, our roads would be so much less clogged if more people took the bus sometimes ...

Definitely concerning. URI's Food Recovery R.I. program is aiming to help address - deadline to apply for next (fall) program is this summer: www.uri.edu/news/2024/07...

I saw this today - very cool!

URI in Rhode Island stages the show each spring, if your students are interested in attending for next year.

The University of Rhode Island has a significant collection in its library archives connected to Sen. Pell and the grant. Feel free to visit if needed for future stories connected to his legacy; pic attached from a recent display there.
