Play Pole Patrol

In Pole Patrol, your shift starts with a stack of real Providence event flyers and a city full of poles waiting to be covered. Sprint block to block, stick clean placements, dodge traffic and dive-bombing seagulls, then rally neighbors before the clock runs out.

Every smart route, quick recovery, and well-timed call builds buzz for local shows and pushes your score up the leaderboard.

Providence Yard Sale Map

Alongside local events, we maintain a Providence Yard Sale Map that helps residents find weekend sales across town. Each listing includes the address, dates, and details so you can plan your stops before heading out. New yard sales are added throughout the week, and anyone in Providence can submit their own listing to appear on the map.

It’s an easy way to see what’s happening in the neighborhoods—whether you’re shopping for bargains or hosting a sale of your own.
