In the news : RAT PROBLEM at Governor Francis Farms in Warwick , Rhode Island ?

Steve, on Thursday I met my old friend Bill Briden at the Cranston Public Library . He saw that I was fine. And so was Bill . We went to lunch together at the Gov. Francis Farms in Warwick where Mom and Dad used to dine. I had a fairly light fish dinner . Bill had pasta with chicken . Later we went to Oakland Beach . I showed Bill my more " civilized " apartment since he had last seen it. I recall Bill having to use my bathroom right away ( food ? ) . But late that Thursday night I started feeling not so much nausea as severe stomach cramps or indigestion. Whatever the cause my body system is no longer A -OK . Adrienne was a dear guardian angel as usual . She went to CVS for me and also renewed my cell phone service for me. This morning I woke up well rested and feeling much better. I had a light breakfast of cottage cheese and pineapple fruit. And took one diabetes pill. I left the apartment and caught the 8:45 bus to the Providence Public Library . Put in a good word for " Old Joe " Kennedy - the notorious anti-Semite - then left for the Cranston Public Library . Feeling hungry now I ordered a hot coffee and a turkey-sausage at DUNKIN before entering the Cranston Public Library . Dave Gold called me while I was still on the RIPTA 21 bus. He will call me back later this afternoon - on matters concerning Dave himself , of course. So I am feeling better ( for now ? ) . Love to all , Ron. IN THE NEWS : [ WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) — Residents of Warwick’s Governor Francis Farms neighborhood are experiencing an unpleasant side effect of ongoing sewer construction – rats. A flyer was recently distributed to about 250 residents informing of them that Norwegian water rats have been seen and trapped in the area. “They’re brazen. We’ve seen them at 11 o’clock in the morning. There was one sitting on the deck one morning, sitting there sunning itself, looking around,” said resident Bob Williams.] Reviewed April 23, 2019 via mobile Was served bad food. [ " I wish I could leave NO stars. I came with a group of 8 on Sunday. I ordered the pot roast and I took a few bites. It honestly tasted like saw dust but whatever I go to cut another piece and IT WAS GREEN. I stopped eating it and we told the waitress. Her response was “Sometimes it just looks like that”. No apologies, no nothing. I’m sorry but I don’t know about you but I’ve never had pot roast look green before!! She asked if I wanted to take it home. WHY WOULD I WANT TO TAKE GREEN FOOD HOME? Nether the less, it was not taken off the bill even though I only took a few bites. We paid and left. The minute I got home I had stomach pains and sick to my stomach. I will never return here. And I am upset we spent almost $300 on a meal that no one in the group very happy with. " ] Governor Francis used to be a staple among our choice of restaurants, but no more! The quality of the food has gone waaaay downhill...cold sides, mediocre entrees and smaller portions. The restaurant is dreary and dirty and needs a serious makeover. We would go often on Saturdays for lunch specials from $8 to $10 with soup or salad. Now they have done away with the specials on Saturdays so lunch prices start at $15 and go up. We have crossed this one off our list!! Date of visit: April 2019 https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g54121-d386671-r675222676-Governor_Francis_Inn_Restaurant-Warwick_Rhode_Island.html#
