I'm glad you told me where Gretchen is from! I asked on a couple of threads and didn't get a response; some of her references were AWFULLY familiar to me! I grew up in NEWPORT & PORTSMOUTH!!

No, I haven't had that experience but I have had the delightful experience of meeting a "sister". You, Ellie. LOL

It's amazing that we're so much alike. Pretty scary!!!

If we lived closer, I'm afraid we could be a dangerous duo!!!

I live pretty close to another member, KBlaix, but we've never met.

I always dream of the day that I will find somebody on this board that I have a connection to. That's so cool, Ellie!!

Now you are in for it, you forget ME???!!! I am in East Providence! OK, so it is across the river and over the BRIDGE and maybe you need a passport to cross, lol. And yes, I am here NOW, not when you were here. But jeepers, Iz in RI and it's a small state! Should count for honorable mention AT LEAST!

East PROVIDENCE! That's a world away from Aquidneck Island (Newport, Portsmouth, Middletown, and I believe Little Compton)! Just kidding, though it seemed on the other side of the world growing up. Yes, you do need a passport to cross the big bridge!

I remember going to East Providence for football games way back when. It was so cool, 'cause they were on Friday nights, and Warwick always played home games on Saturday afternoons.

90% of the state is "across the Bridge." I seldom go there; maybe 8 or 10 times per year. SERIOUSLY!

I am right on the Mass. line, and as their sales tax is quite a bit less, plenty of shops have popped up there and everyone crosses for their items, big ticket or not. As I am originally FROM Mass., I have more friend "across the line" than I do here in RI. So I barely know RI after living here 15+ years!

Well I'll be darned. In later years, after I was grown and gone from home, my parents built a house on Jamestown. I always loved Newport too!
