[Thinking about moving to Providence?]

Ahhh! I'm soon to be a Warwick resident again... Can we get the Cranston line extended south 500 feet, then I can say I live in Cranston and consider myself an Edgewood resident?

I'm actually kind of excited to live in Pawtuxet though. RIDOT just did a whole traffic calming project through it so its the epitomy of walkable now, and I'll be right on the water and just 5 short miles from downtown.

My old man lives over there. It's nice and now, as you said, pretty walkable. There's a great coffee shop over there (I forget the name of it - the owner's name is Eli and Eli's is what I've always called it). Plus, the No. 1 bus goes right through there and gets you downtown in 15 minutes.

- It would be nice if we could do something more dramatic entering the city on 95, although the new 195 bridge might change that. What about framing the triple deckers lining the highway with lights just like Boathouse Row in Philadelphia?

Weird...as soon as I moved back here, that was my first thought - how cool it would be to light up those triple deckers on the left side of 95N going into Providence a la Boat House Row.

....Or do something utilizing the dramatic turn on 95N at Thurbers Ave. where the city is literally, suddenly, right in front of you. The simple idea is a "Welcome to Providence" sign or just a "Providence" sign next to or over the highway, but really, with that 1-2 mile length of highway right there, the possibilities are endless. As it is, the best landmark we've got is Cheater's on the right hand side. I mean, I love the new pink paint, but would enjoy something a little more sophisticated.
