Finally Friday Five: Council, Trash Pickup, Cash Mob, Cars

Council - The Woonsocket City Council meets Monday night, 7 p.m. in Harris Hall at City Hall. Among the items on their agenda, (see attached .pdf) they'll consider legislation authorizing a bid for the reconstuction of Cumberland Street, Maple Street and a portion of Hamlet Ave. DPW Director Sheila McGauvran has recommended the councilors award the job to the low bidder, Cardi Corp., at $443,226. The Council will also consider second passage of a resolution banning smoking in city parks.

Holiday trash schedule -  Residents are reminded that curbside pick-up of trash, recycling and yard waste from May 27 to May 31 will be delayed by one day due to the long Memorial Day weekend.

Cash Mob, Cash Mob - Whatcha gonna do when they come for you? Smile ear to ear, if you're like most businesses. The next Cash Mob in the city is Monday, June 3. The gathering location will be at 186 Cass Ave. in Woonsocket (parking lot across form Landmark Medical). 

The two mystery businesses to be mobbed will be announced promptly at 6:15 p.m. The Cash Mob concept is simple. The idea is to gather a large group of people, mobbers, who agree to spend $20 at each venue.

The events are sponsored by the Northern RI Chamber of Commerce and the Blackstone Valley Independent Business Alliance.

Classic cars - Show up at Patriot's Diner, 65 Founders Dr., Monday at 5 p.m. for Classic Car Cruise Night. Take a trip down Memory Lane at a nostalgic '50s diner with vintage cars.
