Comic Con: The Con That Ate PVD (in a good way)
RI Comic Con is like that radioactive mutant that just won’t stop growing. But in a good way. This year’s event once again took over the entire Convention Center and Dunkin Donuts Center, and pretty much all the hotels, bars, restaurants, arcades and parking spots downtown PVD had to offer. Saturday was a fully sold-out […]

Get Your Freak(out) On: the PVD Ghost Tour
True confessions: I love Halloween, but I hate being scared. I refuse to watch horror movies or even general thrillers, so much so that it took four weeks for my friend Jeremy to convince me to watch an episode of Stranger Things. When it comes to paranormal activity, I’d rather be perceived as “gullible” and […]
