When Justice Meets Mercy
For most people, the courtroom is intimidating. It’s a place where laws are enforced, fines are handed down, and wrongdoing is punished. But for those who entered Judge Frank Caprio’s Providence Municipal Court, the experience often felt different. Yes, the laws were upheld — but there was also something deeper at work: mercy.

Dating in a Romance Recession: How Gen Z Is Navigating Love on a Budget
Dating means something quite different for Gen Z than it did for previous generations. At a time when living alone is more expensive than ever, student debt is skyrocketing, and the economy is unpredictable, a generation of young people coming of age is rethinking the meaning of romance. 'Stepford Students' fees of lavish dinners, extravagant outings and gifts to impress are becoming less practical. Gen Z, instead, are accommodating themselves to financial constraints and craving substance. And that transition has created what some people call a “romance recession” — dating is now a means to demonstrate value, handle work-related stress and reenact “carefree” times, rather than an end in itself — where today’s singles are no longer drowning in dating expenses, and are focusing less on materialism and more on experiencing real connections, without the omni-present danger of financial commitment.

This trend is indicative of an increasing frustration with the shallowness of dating apps. In a historically-rich city full of intellectual life and unique areas, we're seeing that genuine, in-real-life "meeting" is again the method of choice.
