Day 91: 100 Days of Central Mass Features Providence - Cities to Work In

 100 DAYS OF CENTRAL MASS FEATURES PROVIDENCE - CITIES TO WORK IN

Providence is the most populated city in Rhode Island and goes back and forth from being the 2nd or 3rd largest city in New England.  Providence is one of the first cities established in the United States.  It is ranked 36th in the country for largest metropolitan population.

The city of Providence, RI is only a short 45-60 minute ride from Central Massachusetts.  Providence is home to many major companies such as the GTECH world headquarters, Textron, Nortek Incorporated and the headquarters for Citizen's Bank.  Rhode Island Hospital and Brown University are the largest Providence employers.  Providence covers a span of 20.5 square miles and makes a great place to live and work.

Day 25: 100 Days of Central Mass Features Twin River Casino

Last Friday I had my first opportunity to visit Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island.  My mother, 2 aunts and I went to see the B-52s in their concert area.  Twin River is a nice place to dine, view live entertainment and play some slot machines.  They have also added virtual game tables and they have dog races during the day.   We started the evening off eating a casual dinner for a fair price at Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant, followed by a little gaming on some penny slots before singing along to "Love Shack" with the B-52s.  We then enjoyed some drinks and live music at the Lighthouse Bar and ended the evening listen to a local band play in the Fado Irish Pub again while watching the Redsox go on to lose to the Yankees in 15 innings of baseball!  If you're close to Rhode Island and looking for some nightlife, check out Twin River for a great time! 

Here's a toast to girl's night out!

Day 20: 100 Days of Central Mass Features Block Island, RI

When I was about 8 1/2 months pregnant with our 1st son, James Jr., James and I took a little day trip to Block Island.  We caught a ferry over from the Block Island Ferry company and had planned on renting mopeds for the day to cruise around the island.  Once we arrived, the rental company would not rent mopeds to a woman as pregnant as myself, but they gave us a great deal on a Ford Mustang Convertible.  We cruised around with the top down and the heat blasting in the month of May.  We ate lunch at Sharky's and I must say, I had the best Rhode Island calamari of my life!  The food was delicious and the staff was great.  We drove around the entire island and checked out all of the mansions and beaches.  If you live in Central Mass, take a trip to Block Island in Rhode Island, it's well worth the trip!
