I was born in Latin America. I have traveled the world and spent a lot of time in LA and Florida; still, Rhode Island is the best. It does feel very "homey."

>I love going to the supermarket, and somewhere in Rhode Island, I will see someone i know and get to say hello. I was at CCRI a few months ago and saw governor Mckee. A few weeks ago, I met Ashley Kalus. Fung, I have met as well. I also saw very upclose Gina Raymundo ... I mean, I would never experienced anything like this in LA or Florida, too huge. I love this little state!

>Its such a small state, that you are bound to know someone, who knows you or one of your relatives. Specially if you are from Craaaaaaaaaaaaanston. Rhode Island is also the state where I learn English, and when i was in LA, i was told , some of my words were very "East Coast".

I’m from California and spent 29 years of my life there, only time I saw a celebrity was on movie sets. My third week living in Rhode Island I run into Richard Jenkins in the bread aisle at freakin Dave’s.

That’s awesome! He’s pretty freakin cool, so he’s a great local celeb to have.
