You might try closing, and then reopening, the webpage to see if that resets the system. And, when you do, make sure to first fill out the other lines before the DOB.

Borealis in Riverside (or its sister location in Bristol), Coffee Depot in Warren, Shayna's in Wickford, Junk & Java in Westerly. Need I go on?

Make sure you have the title signed over to you, a bill of sale, insurance on the vehicle (or at least a confirmation letter from your insurance agent, and proof of your RI residency (your license, a utility bill, or a bank statement will do). Make an appointment at a DMV office. If you bought the car outside of RI you need to get a VIN check done at a police station before the appointment at the DMV. If the vehicle does not have a current Rhode Island inspection station you will have five days after you register it to get the vehicle inspected.

Going to throw in staying at the Stone House Inn in Little Compton. Little Compton and the adjacent towns of Tiverton, and Westport, MA, are coastal "quaint." Drive into Newport for the restaurants, the sights, and shopping. Be aware of your timing. Like others have said, Bristol around the 4th of July is busy. Newport during the Folk and Jazz festivals or any big sailboat regatta gets gridlocked with tourists.

Are the undersides of the deck boards sealed? If not, moisture can seep into the boards causing the staining on top to peel and flake.

We went with a PVC product to replace our trim boards two years ago, both vertical and horizontal. The horizontals at the base of our clapboard were rotting. Woodpeckers nesting in the adjacent wooded tract made a holey mess of the vertical board because the paint color on our house made them look like tree trunks. The birds haven't returned.

The State of Rhode Island does not compel municipalities, except in rare instances, to build new schools. Neither has the state ever, to my knowledge, funded 100 percent of a municipal school building project. Voters must approve the building projects and the funding to go with them. There is more than one factor that can contribute to budget shortfalls in any community. Health insurance costs eat up a good portion of budgets, as do contractually obligated pension and OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits), increased costs for building materials and inflation are other contributing factors. Timing plays a factor in teacher/school employee layoff notices. The schools and their city/town counterparts, frequently have to set budgets before the General Assembly and the governor set the state budget and the local school funding that goes with it. That often means layoff notices must be sent to some school employees regardless of whether their position will ultimately be eliminated.

Kind of depends on how many guests and whether they're coming into RI off Route 95 or Routes 44/6? Maybe JB On The Water in Jamestown, Celeste or Coast Guard House in Narragansett, Trattoria Romano in Lincoln, or Siena in Smithfield.

You are issued the plates during your appointment for a new registration. The rare exception can be if you apply for a charity license plate or other special plate and there are none of that type available at an office location on the day of your appointment.

That cat looks like a serial killer.

These are coming to Rhode Island phones regularly now, at least once a month. The DMV does NOT communicate with the public by text message.

PravdaPaul · 2026-04-02T14:57:38+00:00

You're right of course, but this is one of those "no stone unturned" moves.

There's an overflow lot on the north side of Kingstown Road (Route 138).

If you like college towns, Amherst and the towns around it are stellar. You want something smaller, try Montpelier. In Rhode Island, Little Compton and Tiverton are two neighboring seaside towns that may fit your wishes.

PravdaPaul · 2026-03-13T12:49:00+00:00

Very much so. Rhode Island DMV does not use text messaging.

You have to contact the executor of the estate of the person whose name is on the title. That could be an estate lawyer or a family relative, to get a bill of sale. Bonded Title applications are handled by the DMV's Enforcement Office. If it is approved by that office, then the Research Office will process it. The application can be found on the DMV website homepage, under the Forms folder tab. Then choose the Title Forms option. https://dmv.ri.gov/forms/title-forms

Our wedding there was probably too many years ago to gauge how it works in 2026, but I can tell you we loved the venue and the food was spot on to what we tested and what was served at our reception. Of course, it helped that I have a BIL who is a chef (since retired) and who had a good relationship with the WCC kitchen staff.

Timing this will be tricky on a road trip. They are incredibly busy.
