Providence native here to give you some info about the place. Way too much info, perhaps. -PVD has a ton of great restaurants. While there is a big Portuguese presence, Italians are probably the most represented ethnicity, and they make pretty good food. There are also lots of nice Asian joints nowadays. -There's a rich horror tradition; ghost tours are a big thing, Edgar Allen Poe lived here for a time, and Lovecraft is buried in the city. His resting place, Swan Point Cemetery, is really gorgeous in terms of both nature and grand burial statuary. Can't recommend it enough for a stroll or or bike ride in the area. -It's very much a college town. Brown's influence is unavoidable- they own a huge percentage of the prime real estate, and are constantly building and expanding further still. But it's not the only school; there's a well-regarding culinary school, as well as RISD. The latter college contributes hugely to Providence's status as an arts town; it bills itself as "The Creative Capitol." -Providence was actually a big deal in manufacturing back in the day. The city and surrounding bergs (looking at you, Pawtucket!) are littered with enormous mill buildings in varying stages of decay. Those that are well-preserved have been converted into pretty cool spaces, but many others are too dilapidated for anyone to try fixing them, and serve merely to contribute to the grimy urban atmosphere. Keep in mind that Rhode Island is super densely populated, beat out in that category only by New Jersey, and most Rhode Islanders live in the Providence metro area; parts of it are just packed, and it feels like a fully-fledged City not all that much smaller than Boston, though Boston dwarfs Prov by a good four or five times. -The public infrastructure is notoriously bad. Our roads are the worst in the country, as are the bridges I believe; one of the city's celebrated landmarks is an old upright bridge that failed very early on and was never moved from its position. Between that and the weird insular culture here ("I Never Leave Rhode Island" bumper stickers are common), it feels rather backwards and stagnant, despite being forward-looking and inventive in so many ways. -Providence has an array of top-notch theater companies. If you have the opportunity , I particularly recommend a theater called the Gamm. Between such high culture, the great dining, and the convenient location between New York and our cool big bro Boston, there's plenty of appeal for well-off city folk. Taxes being what they are, such people are just about all you'll find in a number of neighborhoods. -There has historically been a huge mafia presence in Providence, and to some extent that's still the case. Faith in local government tends to be low, and compared to neighboring cities this one is notoriously corrupt. One of the most fondly-remembered mayors was a guy with plenty of organized crime connections, who managed to turn the town around for the better in many ways despite his nepotism and cronyism. He was jailed, eventually, and what's really wild is that the man ran for the office again, FROM PRISON, just a few years ago, and was a popular option. Were it not for his death around this time, we Providencers (?) (still not sure what our demonym is) might have been in for an interesting time. -However, oddly, it's really quite a peaceful place; the annual murder rate is consistently several times smaller than those of nearby metro areas, though given how grim the competition is (Worcester, Bridgeport, Hartford, and their ilk all more or less hellscapes in comparison) I'm not sure how amazing that really is. -We have awesome libraries. Check out the Athenaeum, you book lovers out there. -Some huge corporations roost in or near Providence. CVS was founded here, and their stores are inescapable. Perhaps biggest of them all is Hasbro; a lot of people are employed in the world of games and toys and content for children and bronies. Unfortunately Hasbro, along with Brown, the city's prominent hospitals, and a few other parties hold enormous amounts of sway and land, and it's easy to feel like they're the ones who really reap the benefits around here. -Also, Providence has a lovely children's museum. Can't recommend it enough for the under-10 crowd. -This is an extremely Catholic city, maybe the most papist in the nation. Clergy have a lot of influence. -There are also a whole lot of Jews. Many are intellectuals, professors and the like. There are some impressive synagogues in town, in addition to some of America's oldest churches. It's a big (relatively speaking) hub for Unitarian Universalists as well. Phew, okay, chances are no one will read this whole thing, but it was fun to write. TL; DR- Providence is a kinda cool quirky city marred by stagnation, and while I can't necessarily recommend moving here, it's a place well worth a visit in its own right.

[@RainDelay]

Thank you for this lovely text. I was looking for something like this, like a word from a Providence native when I was writing the eponymous song. After reading this, I felt as if know so much more about your city. So... check out the song called Providence by Rain Delay. Very long story short, the song is about a young couple and their romance in a beautiful town in Serbia (yeah, in Europe, neither Siberia nor Syria...) called Novi Sad. Providence here is the nickname for Novi Sad which I made as a portmanteau of the words "promise" and "evidence". However, it is also inspired by your beautiful city which I have never been to, but hopefully will one day.

Las Vegas is actually one of the most important cities on the topic of architecture. The book called Learning from Las Vegas built a manifesto for what is known as postmodernism. Today, Vegas is seen as an architectural thermometer gauging the most trendy designs that influence the rest of the US.

[@nedisahonkey]

Zylork0122 Oh God no. The architecture there represents the worst of American architecture. Just a hodge podge of gimmicky buildings with no class or taste. Some of the newer hotels are less garish but they're still not examples of great architecture. I'm all for civic pride but Vegas is a blight on the desert built on depravity. All southwest cities are a middle finger to mother nature.

[@Zylork0122]

I’m in agreement with the southwest but that only applies to Los Angles (shots fired), Arizona, and New Mexico. Vegas is extraordinary for its architecture. Please read the aforementioned book.

[@nedisahonkey]

Zylork0122 Na all cities in the southwest have no reason to exist and are terrible. Millions of humans aren't meant to live in the desert. You are right in that LA is the worst culprit but only because it's the largest, it's at least got SOME rainfall compared to Las Vegas and Arizona. Also is the book written by someone from Las Vegas? Because claiming that postmodern architecture is all due to Las Vegas is a pretty wild claim. I'll read your book if you read "Cadillac Desert"

[@Zylork0122]

No, neither Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi are from Vegas. They were architecture professors before setting up an architectural practice. Don’t be surprised when you learn more about their teachings resonating from Vegas. Yes, every 7 Eleven’s architecture resonates Vegas. Not to mention Walmart, McDonald’s, and every other business you’ve been to. They’re called decorated sheds, a term coin by the couple and learned from Las Vegas.

[@nedisahonkey]

Zylork0122 Hmm sounds interesting, I thought you meant it was influential in "high architecture" or whatever label you wanna put on it. I could definitely see it's influence on terrible franchises and big box stores, tackiness is a defining trait of that kind of "architecture" and nowhere is more tacky than Vegas! Sounds pretty interesting I'll have to check thay out.

You're not wrong about Oklahoma and OKC lol. Lotta Okies treat tornadoes like a life or death thrill ride, rather than a deadly weather event. OKC is also a major crossroads, with Interstates 35, 40, and 44 running through it. Many people not native to the state or country find their way here, too. Most of them tell me they like the balance OKC strikes of being big, diverse, and vibrant, but not so big it's overwhelming or inescapable. And Pow wows. Just find one open to the public and go. There's food, music, dancing, art, storytelling, and a whole mess of interesting people.

I grew up in Fargo! I’m also Scandinavian-American, and yes there are quite a few of us in Fargo. You did pretty well, although I might add that most of us Fargoans are a bit ambivalent toward the Coen brothers’ film. While it put us on the map for many Americans, only the opening scene takes place there, and many assume that we all have the thick Midwestern accent portrayed in the film. Don’t get me wrong, we definitely hang onto our O’s too long sometimes, but mostly we just sound like regular Americans haha

It's the biggest "pleasure beach" in the world 3. Instead of "bachelor graduates" living there, it's more of a military and shipyard living community, since Norfolk has the biggest shipyard and naval base in US. (Norfolk pronounced: "Nor-fukk" btw.) And not only that, but lots of New Englanders like to visit and live there. 4. As mentioned, lots of recreational and entertainment goes on. Museums, Aquariums, parties, watersports, etc.

Providence (well, basically all RI) was basically run by the Mafia for much of the second half of the 20th century. And depending on who you ask, it was the birthplace of diners and food trucks (in about the 1870s some local restauranteurs started selling food to office and factory workers out of wagons parked outside the factories).

As someone who lives in the Providence area, I'm not surprised you don't know anything about it. Here's a fun fact: Rhode Island was the first state to declare independence from England; yes, it was even before Massachusetts. The great majority of the state is within a 20 minutes drive of the ocean, so seafood is everywhere, sailing is huge, we love coffee milk and Del's frozen lemonade and it always feels like you're right near the ocean everywhere. The state has a major inferiority complex both because of the small size as well as the fact that most consider it to be like a kid brother to Mass/Boston.

[@andyjay729]

I thought RI'ers took pride in their small size. You're first in something. Us Californians have to settle for being just the 3rd largest state.

I don't know if pride is the right word for it, but the size definitely affects our outlook. Anything more than a 20 minute drive or so is considered to be interminably long.
