Paul Lonardo’s book “Homegrown” sheds light on the Providence Friars’ 1972-73 men’s basketball season, possibly the most magical season in Rhode Island sports history. “Homegrown” serves as an introduction to not only the 1972-73 PC Friars, but also a history of Providence College basketball, and the state of Rhode Island in the 1970s. “Homegrown” begins […]
Before Netflix, illustrator Stephen Gervais gave a fresh look to Shirley Jackson’s furiously frightful novel The Haunting of Hill House.

Quiet glimpses of beauty can hide in plain sight – Divine Providence Continued, a pop-up exhibit opening August 19 at 233 Westminster Street, is a collection of windows into a world that most of us walk by every day without seeing.

Obi Storm Otto pretty much thought that he was living a paint by numbers life for a guy in his mid 20s. He had a job as a bar back, a best friend, a fishing spot and plenty of acquaintances. He was still feeling the effects of his father’s passing 11 years ago and had […]
Kate Hanley is an author, a podcaster, and she wants you to be a better person. Nope, don’t run, come back, stick with me here. First and foremost, let’s throw down Hanley’s Rhode Island cred.
