Gun laws, the compactness of the state, and demographics are the big 3 reasons I picked RI(well the west side of Prov specifically) over anywhere in MA. A lot of the towns near Ux were too small population-wise for my liking.

I’m not too much of a seafood person being that my family are largely rural southerners from NC/SC, so no worries here on the chowder.

in the summertime there are numerous block parties. can't do that in boston: it would shut down "business."

theres a big huge Pride week in june..... theres weekends where they shut down a couple streets and have world music/hip hop/ etc on multiple stages....theres a punk rock/metal festival.... theres food festivals...

look up this thing called Water Fire ... they light campfires in little fire pits that are installed all along the canal that runs through downtown... you can pay to ride in a boat along it like in Venice..... Along the canal people sit.... drink and eat from street vendors... and the city blasts music (a wild variety of classical/world music) throughout the area.... its every other weekend for a few months...

the venues the previous commenter mentioned....

you'll find your place. have fun :)

It is. My mom lives right near there still. I do have a lot of love for that city. There really are some hidden gems. Did you see the post where someone was asking what to see when visiting Woonsocket? There were a lot of good suggestions. Precious Blood was one, Pearl’s candy and nuts was another.

Now Uxbridge is considered Western MA, and it has a more consistent weather. You'll experience more snow and cold compared to the regions on the coast.

Why would you move to RI when you have plenty of affordable towns where your work in MA ?

And again to reiterate my point, Do Fucking Not mention Maryland Clam Chowder.
