Reply to comment by Hairy-Beanbag in Moving to Providence by FriendPlastic

Warwick is just a series of 4 lane stroads lined with box stores. It looks like every other boring suburb of every city in the entire county.

So Warwick is just balled hill road? Looks like you need to get out more. Providence is Ghetto just like Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Central Falls. When you drive in from Mass first thing you drive through you are like what the hell is this dump.

I'm out all the time, I walk and bike all over providence, esp the west end and downtown. It's not ghetto. The surrounding suburbs are suburb-y just like everywhere else but Providence proper is actually very pretty. It's architecturally unique, the bike paths that run through the city and outside the city are beautiful, the bay is beautiful, there are lots of murals downtown, lots of greenery. The river is really nice during the summer, especially when there are food trucks out and food festivals. Atwells is nice also during the summer when they block off the streets and have music playing outside. It just sounds like you have only driven around and need to get out of your car more often.

I've lived a lot of places. The absolute worst parts of Providence are urban heaven compared with, say, East Colfax in Denver or south Fort Worth (both places I've briefly lived). Providence is a really nice city, but people from here often don't realize that for whatever reasons.
