OK, I read the title and told you something special about my area. Now I see I didn't really help you so I am posting again.


1- do you live in the city? or the country?
RI is the smallest state. I live in the city, but we have loads of country areas in the state as well. Nothing is more than 20 minutes away. The joke is, "if you drove more than 20 minutes, you had to get lost and go in circles, because the state just isn't that BIG!"

2- do you have a home or apartment?
Bought my home in 2002!

3- what do you pay for living expenses?
There is a glut of empty apartments just now so the rents are coming down. You can get a 2 bedroom in a nice complex for about $1000 per month.


4- what you do LOVE about your state?
Centrally located for mountains, ocean, farming, whatever you love doing. Also, we have superb health facilities which are just a 15 minute drive into Providence (this was important as my Dad lives with me.) If we had moved into his house (which he wanted to do) we would have been driving into Boston for his medical services, a 45 minute drive one way if there is no traffic. Our city has has high percentage of senior citizens so there are lots of programs, services and support here for seniors; another reason we bought HERE and not elsewhere.

5- what do you HATE about your state?
Our state politics have got to be the joke of the country.
