Rhode island has amazing beaches, so many excellent restaurants, mansions in Newport, polo, handsome statehouse, great plays/theaters, Waterfire, free lectures at an Ivy League university, and more. It’s an amazing place. Flamingos at the zoo. Bike paths too.

Just be aware, there are traffic jams (beaches, Providence, and Newport) and there are fierce rivalries in the workplace and between towns. It’s intense. Holding grudges is sport. I lived in 7 states. No other compares to RI for rivalries and grudges. That’s probably not mentioned on the promo videos.

I am also surprised to hear that we have traffic jams.

Maybe the beach in August, but rush hour here compared to any other metropolitan center on the East Coast is a breeze.
