To your credit, it's in a ton of states so it is recognizable, just not as much as stuff like family guy, etc

Took about 2 weeks after I sent it in. New to Rhode Island so I was expecting to have to return the old ones and they’re like “nah bro. Throw them away or keep as a souvenir”

I haven't been to the East Providence location yet, but El Mariachi is my go-to for Mexican. They have excellent cucumber margaritas and table-side fresh guacamole.

There's some hyper local references in early family guy

I think it's the income inequality more than poverty.
If it were poverty and low education, you'd see more homicide in Sub-Saharan Africa than Latin America.

If I’m understanding correctly they want breweries to be unable to distribute so they have to use teamster trucks?

The very first X Games. Not the X Games where TH ramped into the harbor for a swim (that was the 2nd).
Also, Wave Ave is also pretty widely known in certain communities.

I did my registration a few weeks ago. Just wondering because it expires at the end of the month

No, technically breweries in the state are not allowed to actually self distribute. Right now they use a loophole, which is some people who own one business that is a brewery and then open a different company that is a distributor. They get trucks, sell their own stuff at various stores and often use the same employees who are part time at both places (not union, so little benefits).
They’re still able to sell on the brewery site but they are not legally supposed to distribute in RI, they’re supposed to hire other companies and yeah the teamsters want it to be them.
Not saying I agree or not with this but the title is misleading as that’s not what the bill is. Whether the original law is right or not, 🤷♀️. State is just trying to address the loophole they have. Not sure what they guys name was but he testified recently at a hearing about it as he has a brewery and then a different Llc distribution company.

There were two combatant narrators in Ken Burns' Civil War series, one from the South. One from the North. Every episode in the series had numerous readings from their diaries.
The one from the North was a Rhode Islander, buried in Swan Point, Elisha Hunt Rhodes.
Oh, and Cthulhu ... every day Etsy shoppers even in France search Etsy for Cthulhu stuff. I'm sure Lovecraft would be stunned.

Ummmmmmmmm, no. I never even heard of Dels until I moved to RI
Seriously, as someone who was born and raised in St. Louis the only two things/brands that people would recognize are Family Guy and Hasbro toys
Edit note: I didn’t mention CVS. Everyone will recognize that brand
