Symbolic of grass roots entrepreneurism, the three-year old concert series that takes place in 195 District Park returns in quadruplicate this year.

This year it will be staged on Saturday, May 16; Friday, June 12; Saturday, […]
It’s that time of the year again with the temperatures rising and all the bugs out partying. While winter is the time to stay indoors and play some videogames, summer is the time to go out and have some fun. But what if you’re the type of person who doesn’t like clubbing and going to […]

The second episode of the Real Housewives of Rhode Island will premiere tonight. (Well, Wednesday, depending on when you read this. Thursday on Peacock.) The show has produced a social media furor almost as big as the botoxed lips of its stars – not really a surprise for one-degree-of-separation Rhody and our “know a guy” culture. […]
