My favorite quotes:

“We started off at the Brew Pub and Café and hit the Budweiser tents,” Dantes said. “It seems like a nice city.”

“You walk down the street and want to order seafood, or a lobster roll,” said Christie Helgel, originally from Omaha, Neb.

That second one makes me wonder why we don’t have more seafood restaurants in the city. Sure, there’s McCormick & Schmick’s and Hemenway’s, but how about something more affordable, but still good. People expect seafood when they come to the Ocean State.

I like the part about how they like the buildings. Not the parking lots, but the buildings.

Jen, I think it is for a state trooper who died in the storm over the weekend.

Wow, check out this ProJo article about how much visitors are enjoying Providence (I'm sure the weather and beer are helping). I liked this line especially:

"We've been here about 10 minutes. We parked six feet from The Dunk, so Providence gets the thumbs-up for that," said Ben VanKat, who is 26.

What parking crisis?

Why are the flags at half-mast at the civic center?

Foxy Lady has a full page ad in the special projo insert for the NCAAs promoting their shuttle, etc.

The strip club limos are pretty common around Vegas and other areas. Some of the dancers even got into the promotions game and were handing out flyers. Awesome atmosphere.

Oh God! I saw the Desire Shuttle too, I think on Washington Street, and thought “hmm, how odd in broad daylight…”
