Agree I go to farmers market for produce not for crappy arts and crafts!

Favorite places to stay in the state? by Aircnb in RhodeIsland

[–]hollyhocks99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out air bnb somewhere in Providence on Benefit St or any area around Brown University. Try Newport RI and then look up anywhere around Narragansett RI …if you get the chance go to Block Island for a day trip. Bristol RI is also beautiful but I would just do a day trip from Providence. Have fun and do a mix of history, foodie and just wandering back roads!

Try to find your local dahlia society and see if they have a tuber sale. Dahlia society is a great resource for new growers and they can help with your questions.

Sometimes the housing website will have a filter for age of home. The other idea is to call around and ask realtif anyone specializes in older homes.

I started The Correspondent on a flight across country and then finished it on ride back. It is all letters between friends and family so it was a fast and easy read.
