Only in Rhode Island…
As a native Rhode Islander, I’ve often heard the phrase “Only in Rhode Island…” and that can run the gamut from 3 Degrees of Separation for all RI residents to yet another political scandal.

Help a Child’s Dream Live On
Every so often, I find a story that really touches me in the news. One that isn’t full of violence, destruction or hatred.

America’s First Blow for Freedom
Do you know what “America’s First Blow for Freedom� was? If you’re like most Rhode Islanders, who live outside of Cranston and Warwick, then the answer more likely or not is no.
