There's a difference between celebrating the birthplace of the American Revolution and losing sleep over a concrete pigeon's nest. Or a rusting and frozen railroad bridge. It's some sorta defective mentality down there. Fear of change. The first lesson I ever learned about business from a very shrewd Jewish merchant was that you gotta grow or you're gonna go. He told me: kid, if you're staying the same, you're falling behind. This man knew his fur. RIP Morty.

We may not be the birthplace of the American Revolution, but I'll put Rhode Island's history up there with the best of them in our very young republic.

Micky D's? No doubt, it says more about you than the building.

What it says about me is that I'm not out of touch with Providence like some people here.
