Are we allowed to discuss Providence Plantations here as well, or are we strictly limited to the island?

I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.
Several years back I went to the Providence Place Mall to see a movie with my brother. It was winter but we left our coats in the car so we didn't have to walk around the mall with them. While we were in the car someone smashed the window and took our coats. They weren't even expensive coats and that's all they took because the only thing of value in that car was a bag of weed they didn't see. So anyway we had about a 40 minute ride to Massachusetts with no coats and an open window. Good times. Thanks, Rhode Island.

I had to work in providence once for a few days. When I woke up in the hotel the next morning, I forgot where I was and assumed it was Connecticut for like 3 hours until I saw a bunch of RI license plates.

There’s no way of telling for sure, because it’s like, if you went to Rhode Island, you would get smaller while you were there, but like if a guy from Rhode Island went to Montana or Texas they would get bigger. But they wouldn’t even know it. Relativity and poo poo. :science:

Yeah. He was corrupt as poo poo, but he also revitalized our downtown area and helped to rebrand our city. So nobody knows how to feel anymore.

Slavery mostly

By 1774, the slave population of Rhode Island was 6.3 percent, nearly twice as high as any other New England colony. In the late 18th century, several Rhode Island merchant families began actively engaging in the triangle trade, most notably the Browns for whom Brown University is named. In the years after the Revolution, Rhode Island merchants controlled between 60 and 90 percent of the American trade in African slaves.[14] In the 18th century, Rhode Island's economy depended largely upon the triangle trade;

I like to make the comparison of its Massachusett's New Jersey. Considering the founder was essentially kicked out of the Mass colony for differing views, he helped founded the idea of Religious Freedom in the US. RI's identity isnt rooted in a Commonwealth but more Individual freedoms. Our economy is also much shittier than MA.
