I'm not. You like to fabricate weird things about people you know nothing about.

Threat? You're hardly a threat to any agenda, except maybe an agenda of decency. You're pitiful smallness has been so exposed here. If you had any degree of self-awareness, you'd know it.

The video's funny, but it could apply to dozens of run down, former mill towns in New England. Maybe they could have made it little more Woonsocket specific?

I know nothing about West Warwick so I couldn't comment on those threads, but I live close enough to Woonsocket to know I sure wouldn't be advising anybody to relocate there.

If your advice were accurate, it would depend on what the relocator was looking for. There is a small private enclave in the north end of Woonsocket called Winter Court. It sits on a hill & is as attractive & well maintained as any neighborhood on the East Side of Providence. So, if someone wanted a grand historic house on a hill on the Massachusetts border for half the price of any similar neighborhood elsewhere in Rhode Island, you would be remiss not to advise them to consider Winter Court in Woonsocket. If you even knew Winter Court existed.

Folks, this "Winter Court" place is like three houses. Woonsocket is the pits, don't purchase the snake oil.

"Folks" this fellow doesn't know what he's talking about. It's doubtful he even has ever lived in Rhode Island.

You think the neighborhoods on either side near the top of diamond Hill Road are that bad? I was there a couple of months ago they are nice little neighborhoods.

I am beginning to wonder if some of these people that live in Rhode Island actually venture out of their own little house.

It's hard for me to tell where Cumberland ends and Woonsocket begins. My experience with Woonsocket is mostly limited to the Diamond Hill Plaza area. Mostly the Lowe's, but I used to go into the Sears once in a while when it was there. I have seen other parts of the city and no, not impressed at all.

40 years ago all that shopping plaza with Sears and everything was really nice and it was vibrant. If you go up diamond Hill Road from there that's some pretty nice neighborhoods on either side. They still are pretty nice.

The shopping center at the bottom of diamond Hill Road never recovered.
