Block island baby! Plus the world is so small to everyone in RI - it’s like the Shire - drive out of state and it might as well be another country.

My partner and I were talking about this the other day. No other place where you find a population as passionate about where they live than RI as a whole. Go up to MA and you'll only find Sox and Boston merch, go to ME and you'll find pockets of town pride but rarely much pride for Maine outside of the major tourist areas, CT has... something about Mystic Aquarium probably idk.

But in RI you'll find people just generally pumped about RI as a state. As an ex-pat from Mass I found that very interesting when I first moved here.
