The place to dicuss local topics and to meet others in your area.

I have a feeling I'm the only one who lives in Rhode Island. :)

awww...I'll pop on over to the RI thread once and a while and visit you. Do you live near where that club fire was? I haven't heard anything about that in a while. I'm sure it's the talk of the town so to speak in your neck of the woods. What's the latest scoop?

[Marie]

It's a small state... I live close to everything. :)

Well, right now people are super pissed about that band having a benefit concert for the victims. It seems fake.. after playing the blame game and all that.

[Max Power]

Rhode Island is neither a "road" nor an "island". Discuss!!!

Wow. The band is playing a benefit concert? I didn't know. Yeah, I may be a little peaved to at them. Hopefully they're doing this benefit concert at an outdoor venue.

Hi Rhode Island! I'm in CT, but on the other side.

I went to college with a kid from Rhode Island (East Greenwich) and we used to bust on him and jump from one foot to the other saying, "In Rhode Island, out of Rhode Island. In Rhode Island, out of Rhode Island". (Of course, CT is not much bigger... I don't know what I was thinking!)

Anyways, I love Rhode Island! Have been there a few times and it's very pretty.

Once we're through with this thread, Rhode Island will be the most popular state on VB!!!!

[Marie]

It'll be a popular state with no population. :)

Hi Marie. I live a little more than a stones throw from Rhode Island, in Ma.

[Marie]

I grew up in both Saunderstown and North Kingstown, RI. My family lives there, so I visit often. I live in MA now. I moved here for college and never got around to moving back to RI! I figure that I'm close enough!:D I do miss the beaches, though!

[ninypants5]

I live in MA...but closer to RI than Boston (I'm in Taunton) so I'm in Providence all the time. I LOVE the Saver's in E. Prov... always some neet stuff to spend my little $$ on. I go to Thayer St. a lot too, but I always manage to get lost on my way home...damn you and all yur one-ways!!! =P

you're not the only one vicky :) i've lived in providence my whole life, though i'm in my last year of college in worcester, MA. the garden grille is very yummy, i go there with my sister and her boyfriend (who are both vegans as well) almost every time i come home from school. ive been meaning to go there for breakfast some day as i hear its wonderful, but i've yet to get the chance.

[Vicky]

woo hoo !
are you moving back down here after you finish school or staying in worchester ?
and what highschool did you go to ?

well, with any luck, after college i'll be going straight into a graduate school to study veterinary medicine. if that happens, theres no telling where im going to move to, but it wont be providence since theres no vet schools there. but if i dont manage to get accepted to any vet schools this year, i may move back to providence for a while and reapply to graduate schools again next year. i think i started to appreciate providence a lot more after being away from it so much (and certainly because of the fact that worcester is such a crap-hole of a city...heh) and ill definetly miss it when im not living there anymore.

and i went to classical high school, what about you?

[Vicky]

well i hope you do get accepted :)

i went to shea high in pawtucket, but i think my boyfriend was in your class, he's starting his 4th year of college now as well
heh you might even know him

[zombie bride]

well i hope you do get accepted :)

thanks! :)
