You mean Gregg's, Harry's, and whatever they're calling The Axe Mill Tavern these days don't cut it for Whiskey? /s

East End on Wickenden st. is where you want to take your dad.

Somebody inevitably will say Wara Wara. I would question where else they've been, because I would not put that at the top of any list.

He's even on the sidewalk, just like our own local jamokes.

> Not sure what facts you think aren't straight

Guy said "She's from IL". I'd say she's from MA. That's all. As I said before, you can feel free to think this means she's not from here. To me, since I also grew up in MA and now live for decades in RI - I'd love to see RI become more like MA in many ways.

She's not from IL, she lived in IL. She's from Mass originally as far as I understand it.

But yes, she had a house in IL and Florida, bought a house in RI (I think Newport?) and sold her house in IL.

To me, growing up in MA is good 'nuff to understand the region. But I get why people think she's an "outsider".

I'm not voting for her, but I think we should try to keep the facts straight for everyone that's in this race. I won't argue against anyone who feels that growing up in MA and going to college there makes you an outsider here in RI.

Ahhh now I understand where OPs comment is coming from. Thanks.

I do remember that part of the debate, it was during the public schools / school choice / private schools discussion.

I didn't see it as her saying "I failed out of high school" or what OP suggested "I can't pass high school". It came off more like "I struggled through the school system like a lot of kids do".
