It’s been years since I’ve seen this kind of blizzard warnings for the northeast. Too say it’s long overdue is an understatement.

Dear Mayor Brett Smiley my parents are in the North End of Providence. There are several small streets that are forgotten during every snowstorm. The streets house many elderly people. Thank you Justin Roias

The The Boston Globe presses are quiet tonight, as its executives have made the unprecedented decision to not print and deliver a paper Tuesday due to Monday's monster of a blizzard. bostonglobe.com/2026/02/23/bus…

I wonder if Boston Globe Rhode Island Providence Journal WPRI 12 Ocean State Media and other media groups should bring back the follies.

My second home for many many years. I joke that I had my own parking spot. I still go when I am in Providence, not the same but malls are my happy place and always will be. Hopefully someone will buy it & make it a great shopping destination once again.

Snow. Shocking,

Liza Minnelli has outlived Kristi Noem's time as Secretary of Homeland Security. The plastic surgery addict enjoyed dressing up for photos while arresting minorities.

I went to countless Providence City Council meetings. It was where I met Dan McGowan. Off to my first Salem City Council meeting. It will not be as entertaining as PVD. Yet, city politics is the same everywhere. A meaningless discussion, then a vote that has already been decided.

Happy Birthday ❤️

Again, all news comes from LizaMinnelliOutlives

I really appreciate that the The Boston Globe delivers news on TikTok with a thick Boston accent
