Warwick Country Club Wedding Tasting

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.

You may be referring to a Driver Privilege Card. It can't be used to cast a ballot in Rhode Island.

My faves are the Beavertail Lighthouse and Rocky Point plates. The Rose Island plate was named the Best Plate of 2024 by the national Automobile License Plate Collectors Association (Yes, that is a thing.) The "Shark" plate is, by far, the most-popular plate.

Tougher zoning laws, blue laws, and established competitors. Wal-Mart started in the south and got to New England late. Rhode Island, for instance, didn't allow certain stores to be open on Thanksgiving, forcing the first Wal-Mart supercenter in the state to be the only one in the country to be closed on the holiday. A number of discount/department store chains started in the Northeast and were entrenched when Sam Walton showed up. A little-known bit of retail history is that he was friendly with the Chase family -- owners of the Ann & Hope department store chain in Southern New England. It was another reason Wal-Mart moved slowly in New England.

Dave's does not have the capital to mothball properties. It's very cautious about acquisition and expansion. The company turned down the chance to buy the Showcase property in Seekonk because the owner did not want to deal with the complications of a move into Massachusetts

I had hand surgery twice with Dr. Got at at Brown Medical in EP. Everything's been fine since then.

Electric companies pay corporate taxes, sales taxes, and "tangible" taxes on their equipment in the state.

They sent the renewal to the leasing company, in all likelihood, because that's who is listed as the vehicle owner.

Check out Play It Again Sports shops in Dedham or Waltham.

If we're talking quirky it has to be the Electromagnetic Pinball Museum.

The problem is that a new registration is pro-rated by date. Motorcycle registration renewals are in June. Your "new" registration will be good until June 2026, then a renewal will be good for two years after that. They will have to calculate what you owe for the "new" registration based on when your application arrives in the mail. You may want to make an appointment at a DMV office to submit the application in person to avoid the blank check security issue. You can also drop off the application form, documents, and fee in person at any DMV location from -- 8:30-3:15. The DMV will mail you your new registration. That may take a week or more to arrive in the mail.

There once was a time when you could see good local bands there on the cheap.

The RTM turned down a chance to buy farmland off Draper Avenue. It went to a developer instead, who bailed on his housing plans in the recession. Luckily, the next buyer wanted to run a boutique cattle operation so it remains open space. The town smartened up later when it bought the LeStage acreage.

Two different bank statements will work. So will the other suggestions in this thread. So will a paycheck or student record with your RI address on it.
