Ask anyone if they would sell a house, buy a new house and move from one location to another in the summer 2020 and they would say, "No Way" As much as I would agree with them, my family and I took the bull by the horns and made such a move. We moved from St. Augustine, Florida to Providence. At first we thought, this move should be somewhat easy...visit Providence, look at homes, decide on a home, pack up our belongings, hire a moving company and make the almost 1000 mile trek from Florida to Providence. We wish it were that easy. In the early summer of 2020, I accepted a job relocation to Providence. It was not a tough sell to leave Florida because New England was our "home" and my family and I were ready to return to our normal world of excellent schools, amazing cultural experiences and great food, parks, the mountains and even the ocean. Heading to Providence, where we decided to make our new home after checking many locations, was a bit nerve-wracking. ""Would we be turned back at the border because of COVID?" Would be have to quarantine even though we had negative tests before driving north?" "Where would we stay on the trek North as many hotels were closed" It was an experience to say the least because we made a few trips North to look at a home (that we saw online), go through a home inspection (especially for our 1885 Victorian on the East Side) and finally to close on our property. We never thought we would get here with COVID restrictions, but with great attorneys, realtors and friendly people, we landed in Providence in September 2020. This is our first time of actually living in a city proper and we loved that we could go out and walk everywhere and that is exactly what we did throughout the fall, winter and spring. We marveled at the city architecture, enjoyed the parks, and did our share to take out from the many excellent restaurants that were very accommodating. The fact that Providence remained "open" gave us the chance to see the city more intimately than we would have in normal times. We walked throughout the city sometimes doing 5-6 miles treks from our neighborhood to different areas of Providence. We met so many friendly people (all of us masked and socially-distanced) and immediately knew we made the right decision to move here (we spent most of our working careers and raising children in northwest Connecticut and in the Berkshires). As much as COVID restricted travel and entertainment, we took it upon ourselves to see the City and truly take our time examining building structures, tasting amazing foods, or just stop in at the local bookstore to browse through the many genres on the shelves. During COVID, we behaved like we were travelers exploring a new territory. In the short time we have been here we also did our best to embrace the New England feel that we so dearly missed while living in Florida for about 9 years. So,,here's to you Providence...We are glad we are here. We encourage others to take a walk through the city, explore areas, look around and notice what you see and have a chat with those you meet. Florida was sunny and full of tourists, but Providence is the real thing! Date When was this created?

A Hockey Pandemic By: Jennifer Scott A Hockey Pandemic Oh, it was so systemic They said Oh you can play, Oh you can not, But you must wear masks each and every day You can not breathe you say, oh that's ok No checking, no face-offs, no bags No dressing in the locker room What, you say? This is not hockey, no way! Dress in the cold, carry your equipment on your stick Pretend the rules do not exist. What? No, not ok, high school is on the way. Our team was low on players, Then they took our out of staters. What will we do? How will we play? Whose quarantined? Who got injured or hurt? What will we do? How will we play? We’ll reunite with hockey brothers from times past We’ll do what it takes We just want to play It doesn’t matter, it will be ok We miss our teammates We’ll stay united and no one will get in our way Because X-box will save the day Some have been here four years or more And some have come just through the door. No matter the time or length Memories were made and that we can not forget We will always remember the Thanksgiving Tournaments, The bowling, the arcades, the knee and street hockey, Rollerblading, parties, and friendships we have made Because these memories will never fade This is not goodbye, because many of us will meet again On the ice together as teammates or as opponents, As friends, or X-box buddies 2020- 2021 you might have caused us strife, But it doesn’t matter because we are hockey brothers for life.

I managed a coffee shop...The one "America Runs On." To say that the year plus that I worked in the pandemic was a living hell is an understatement. Between ownership, employees and customer interactions, there is much to tell about running a store for a billion dollar corporation. The ownership from the start did not take the pandemic seriously. Rather than investing in proper PPE for their employees, ownership cut corners. We were sent out to stores like WalMart and Job Lot to purchase T-shirts to cut into face coverings and tie together with rubber bands. From there it only got worse, the product supplier began selling "masks" that were a little bit of an improvement over the ones we made. These masks were almost the same thing, but no rubber bands, just slits for going around our ears. Not once did ownership invest in proper PPE, and that's a damn shame. Customer interactions were almost a joke. People were coming into my store throwing a fit because we refused to serve them without a mask, as if it was a violation of their rights. Corporate complaints flooded my email regularly, almost as if people had forgotten what we were risking for them just to make them a cup of coffee they were too lazy to make themselves, or a sandwich (again, that they were too lazy to make for themselves). Don't get me wrong, not all interactions were bad and there were some people who repeatedly told us how grateful they were for us to be providing for them. At one point, I got a positive comment sent to my email, stating that we all deserved raises and that ownership should recognize the work we put in every day. This was met with a joke from one of the owners, joking about paying everyone $15 an hour...who would have thought asking for a liveable wage would have been turned into a joke. Living through a pandemic is something I will never forget. Seeing how ungrateful people are during this time is mind boggling and surely something that I will remember for the rest of my life. At some point, those who believe the pandemic is a hoax or wearing a mask is a form of suppression will pull their heads out of their asses, but until then.....
