ATTN: people who know Olneyville RI[views:2744][posts:24]_______________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 11:22am - aaron_michael ""] if I were to catch a train from Boston to Providence, how the fuck do I get to the Sweatshop? Don't worry, I'm not white. I won't get shot out there. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 12:04pm - the_reverend ""] where does the train bring you into town? |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 12:07pm - aaron_michaelNLI ""] Right by the mall |
| _______________________________ [Nov 7,2009 12:13pm - Pires ""] That's a ways away from the mall if you're walking. Not exactly sure where the sweatshop is but I do know where onleyville is. |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 12:31pm - aaron_michaelNLI ""] I'm gonna have the whole day to kill, so distance isn't too bad |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 12:32pm - the_reverend ""] I don't remember the sweatshop being in olneyville. I thought it was next to the highway |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 12:53pm - aaron_michaelNLI ""] If anyone has an address, that would work too |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 1:00pm - the_reverend ""] it's in a thread here. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 1:43pm - aaron_michaelNLI ""] Is not! |
| ________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 4:43pm - sxealex ""] i thought onleyville warehouses were knocked down or someshit |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 4:50pm - the_reverend ""] aa thread, not the thread |
| _______________________________ [Nov 7,2009 4:52pm - raper ""] When you get off the train walk along the mall and take a right at the convention center on what should be Sabin st. keep walking up that way until you cross the highway onto what becomes Broadway. Walk a mile or two down Broadway until you cross under a bridge with artwork on the walls. As soon as you get to that bridge take your first or second left which should be Bough St which will take you to a bunch of warehouses which is more than likely where you wanna be. I don't know of any place called the sweatshop but the names of those places change so frequently because the squatters that run them keep getting kicked out. But anyways thats the area where shows get played in olneyville so if you walk down that street you'll more than likely see other people on their way to the show or you'll just be able to follow your ears and nose. If all else fails just follow the stench of sweaty trainhoppers and cheap beer. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 5:01pm - the_reverend ""] those directions are correct. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 5:16pm - aaron_michaelNLI ""] Thank you! |
| __________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 5:24pm - tomx nli ""] yeah those directions are pretty decent. but massive lulz over the getting shot comment, id rather be white than asian in olneyville because of the laotian and cambodian gangs. ive never had trouble in that neighborhood. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 7,2009 5:44pm - raper ""] yea i lived in olneyville for at least a year and managed not to get shot |

I remember one time we played Box O Knives and and there were some kids having a ciggarette outside. a car full of azns pulled up and asked them if they had a dollar. they said no, and the brothas pulled guns and started shooting at their feet like it was the old west. good times. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 11:38pm - johnvanveen ""] www.lotsofnoise.com haslots of info on the shows there sweatshop is cool they got skate ramps and stuff i dont rember much was smashed when i went |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 11:42pm - xgodzillax ""] *dike street |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 11:51pm - tomx nli ""] ive only been to wes' rib house twice, but both times there were stabbings at the bar. food is meh, but the entertainment is A+. ill probably never go back though because id hate to break the streak and not see some shankins. its ok though, cause cuban revolution and la lupita are right on the same block, yummmmm. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 8,2009 3:17pm - aaron_michaelNLI ""] Tom! Let's go to one of those places when I get into town! If you still have my number, text it. I got a new phone and lost all my old digits. |
