Ah, summertime in Rhode Island. The beaches, the food, the cancellation of every major event because of the COVID-19 crisis … yeah, we’re sad it’s not going to be the same, too. But – there’s still plenty to do this summer from the comfort of your own home, or while getting out and being safe […]
With quarantine slowing down most of our lives, Jessica David and the What Cheer Writers Club are teaming up to bring back a favorite old pasttime: writing letters. That’s right, drop your smart phone and step away from your email, they’re bringing back old-fashioned communication — and I hope a plethora of gorgeous stamps — […]

In summer 2018, I was walking around the Providence Flea with one of my best friends when we came across a booth toward the end of the market.
