I think it’s formally called the Providence River Bridge, but no one says that. (Maybe they’re waiting for someone to pass before they rename it. Although these days, why wait for that!)

There’s a reason why few story ballets survive, but I’m still pro-Nutcracker. It’s not the best ballet experience, but a good production should be entertaining. Keep it tight, add some humor, and hope that people return because it’s the only thing keeping the company afloat.

My mother was born in NH in 1933. We were probably more amazed by her childhood stories of using bed warmers, but she also referred to our refrigerator as the ice box.

I spent most of my career in banking, and I'm still amazed at the money being spent to attract retail deposits with brick and mortar branches. Banks are shrinking the number of branches in a given market, but others are expanding their footprints. Always disappointing to see that's who's moving in!

If you look at the listing history, the price keeps dropping, so there’s an issue, but it’s not because it’s in IA.
