Welcome to my very first post. My intention for the "Chris Sells RI" Blog is to familiarize newcomers to Rhode Island, in general, and to the great city of Providence in particular.
Having moved to RI from the south in 2000, I can relate first-hand to what newcomers to the state go through. What are the different neighborhoods like? What are the area schools like? How do I get my new state driver's license? How do I register my car? These are all questions I had when I first moved here. I can remember looking through the Providence Journal looking for an apartment when I first came into town and sitting at local coffee shops asking anyone who would listen where X street was and what it was near.
Since then I've seen the majority of the state. I've done all of the tourist stuff and, through my network of close friends, I have also found some hidden gems.
But I don't want to leave out all the current residents of this great state. Maybe you're planning to move to a different city or town and you're looking for more information. Ya'll know none of us like to travel for more than 15 minutes! So maybe you'll find some great tips on restaurant openings, neighborhood events, new construction projects, etc. Maybe even for your own neighborhood!
So keep checking back regularly. I look forward to establishing some great relationships through this blog.
