- Yeah, but don't forget Warwick, potential big hair capital of them all.
- And then there's Seekonk, although not in Rhode Island it should be. With
- a name like Seekonk you can almost smell the hairspray.
-
- Seriously, there are things to miss about RI.
-
- -- You might not think so, but people are friendly. Pretty down
- to earth, compared to CA.
-
- -- The Bay, Newport, Little Compton, Jamestown, Point Judith etc.
- Marshes, beaches, and water without sharks in it.
-
- -- East Side of Providence. Thayer Street, Big Alice's, Brown/RISD
- museums, Cable Car cinema.
-
- -- Food like Quahogs (stuffies & other), clamcakes & other seafood,
- decent pizza, cabinets, coffee milk.
-
- -- Duckpin bowling and rollerscating. You don't have to do it, just
- so long as you know it's there.
-
- -- Nightlife from Trinity Rep to Club Baby Head. Handy to Boston.
-
- -- Decent Army/Navy surplus stores. Record stores like Tom's
- Tracks, In Your Ear, Goldies. The Arcade.
-
- -- The Independent Man & the Pineapple on Federal Hill.
-
- -- Rhode Island Accents.
-
- Not to mention the bitchin' economy, mafia hangouts, widespread corruption,
- dense population etc.
-
- NOTICE: The world outside of Rhode Island isn't much better. If you're
- thinking about moving somewhere (like CA) to look for a job, forget it.
