This is fun!

I am FROM Rhode Island, as far as I'm concerned, although I was born in Bethesda Naval Hospital in MD. I was on Aquidneck Island from the age of 9 until 20 (although my junior and senior years of high school I lived in MD for the school year).

The "you know you're from RI" link - very funny! I identified with the duckpin, bread, coffee syrup, clam cakes, Almacs & Finast (OMG!!), Newport Creamery (did anyone else "hang out at the Wall"?), the pronunciation of places, I HAVE been to Block-many times, we were boaters and had regular rendesvous there, I know The Pier, clear clam chowdah, a CVANSTON accent, the package store, quahog stuffies, suppa, Cumbie's (OMG again!!), and the convicted felon - too funny!!

I lived in Providence for 6 weeks. Does that give me any status in here? LOL. It was one of the coolest towns I had experienced, truly. Lots of quaintness, history, etc. I then lived in Worcester for 5 years, LOL. I felt the same way about THAT town! I think I just like NE.
