Sam G. Howard: IIRC, Providence used to be divided between the Inlands and Outlands (or maybe it was Outer Woods). “Outlands” sounds cool, and the residents would be Outlanders which sounds badass.

The ongoing contest of wills between the Speaker and the Narragansett Town Council majority is also very much worth keeping an eye on.

Casual mauling by @wheelerreporter.bsky.social here as Narragansett tries to ban duplexes to protect the “character” of the town: www.providencejournal.com/story/news/s...

There's not enough housing in Narragansett 😯 only mansions and summer homes get built! 😩😩 We'll just have to put moratorium on all other types of construction until we can get a handle on this 😤😤

It’ll be funny if the Speaker brings the power of the State to bear against Narragansett in the manner Providence routinely gets hit with.

I wish we'd taken the opportunity when they removed Providence from the office state name to break off from Rhode Island as the Hanseatic Free City we've always been destined to be

Pawtucket and CF can come too but instead of being "Providence Plantations" we'll switch to "Providence and surrounds" or something

RETVRN

An Act to Attaint the City of Cranston for Their Ancient Betrayal of Rhode Island to the Cause of Massachusetts

Yes yes give Cranston back to Massachusetts

Haha, not giving them up, just attainting them.

If I ever live in Pawtuxet I will insist on writing my address as "Pawtuxet Village, Providence, RI"

On the Cranston side you can do that. 02905 is in fact legit to write as Providence.

Anything 029 is Providence in the eyes of Mr. ZIP

Yup. I grew up in 152 so I was “Pittsburgh” despite being in the second ring of suburbs and despite the street directly behind me being the innermost of the 151’s
