How about not dropping me off in either one? There is a reason I went out and acquired an education and job skills.

What a joke!

For the record, Providence has been on COPS! One of the tamest episodes I ever saw, fortunately for the ratings - they followed it up with Jacksonville Florida so we got back to one of the highest murder rates in the Nation!

You seriously pulled that one right out of you rear end. That was bad even for you.

No I have to say I am correct. It was even documented in some study of the show way back (wish I could remember when/where that was).

If you really don't (which I sincerely doubt), you need to ask HIM that question. I am not going to answer for another poster, he needs to explain that to you himself (why he isn't posting here anymore).

"Wisdom" indeed. LMAO!!!

OK, so to summarize:

a) You're educated so you don't have to, like, know stuff

b) You insist you know what you're talking about based on an ancient study which you don't remember

c) You will not answer for another poster, who is not actually a poster any longer.

What can I say. Your logic is airtight!

You guessed wrong my friend.

Of course it's an "ancient" study because it's mostly an "ancient" show (genius)! And of course I remember it and what it said, just don't remember who conducted it.

Oh he is not a poster any longer? Really? So apparently you do know more than me.

It is you who continues to bring him up, like you can't get over his disappearance or something. I am not his agent, I am just another poster here. You obviously have some sort of contact with him outside the forum. Have a question about him, ask him yourself (although I strongly discourage you from associating with him).

Happy Easter!

Yeah, I tried to PM him and it said he is no longer a member.

Wow, the vicissitudes of life are abound with mystery!

P.S. I don't celebrate Easter - Happy 4/20

Except that it's not really a mystery.

Great article, and Providence is only topped by fort worth, tx. Love my hometown. If you guys could pick between Providence and Fort Worth, which would you personally put at number one?

But I think I have a very reasonable definition for "urban". That would be all areas that the USPS covers with city carriers (on foot) as opposed to rural carriers (drive from home to home).
Congratulations. I'm pretty sure you're the only person who's ever come up with a definition that would classify Coventry, RI as "urban".

Most surburban places in RI (not rural, but town) are serviced by mailmen who walk from house to house.

This link goes to the 1930 Census, but I can't figure out the relevant page?

Gansett Ave? What's the matter with Gansett Ave. It's the same as it's always been. Do you mean Cranston St?
