    He heeee, love this thread!

    Just as I joke that I 'think' I need a passport to "cross the bridge" (Washington Bridge, to the other 80% of the state on the other side), folks on Aquidneck often comment similarly re the rest of us on the main land.

    I have to be careful though, as I am a "transplant," only lived here 16 years. Do you know, I don't think I've ever BEEN in Jamestown, yet? As Dad's house - where I grew up - is north, I just gravitate up that way most of the time.

    Hey Sandie - you don't know what you've missed till you've hob-nobbed with the islanders!

    I heard rumors that Maggie's address was Cliff Walk, too.

    It's fun to know where it is the show was really filmed, we knew it wasn't Philadelphia - well, Paul knew, as he's been there a few times, but didn't know where it really was!

    Where did you live before Rhode Island?

    I have lived in Michigan more than half my life - but when I am asked where I am from, I always answer Rhode Island.

    The Michigan license plate on my car reads 1QUAHOG.

    No, they don't. Once a guy followed me into a car wash to find out what it was - and he was in a convertible with the top down! We drove the UPS and FedEx drivers nuts when we first got them.

    But there must be others from out east living here. I originally tried to get just QUAHOG, but it was taken. Then she tried QUAH0G - with a zero instead of the O. That was also gone. so it came down to 1QUAHOG - and Douglas has 2QUAHOG.

    Once, when we were in Rhode Island, some lady commented that she didn't know there were quahogs in Michigan

    Born and Raised in Mass. - Methuen, up on the Salem, NH line.

    Maine is my heart home, and I lived there 5 years, in Falmouth, just north of Portland. However, I was never a "Mainer," you must be born there (some say 4 generations!) to use that label. I was considered a "Maniac!" It was my life dream to live there, and soon as I could, I got a job up there and moved.

    But I couldn't cope w/ the winters, the year we had 127 inches of snow did me in: said I'd be outta there before another flake landed, and moved down here to RI.

    Fortunately, being from Mass and Maine, I've known and loved quahogs all my life!
