Rhode Island Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff
A former Providence Journal columnist introduces you to the quintessential Rhode Island―its iconic foods (coffee milk, the Awful Awful, Del's lemonade, and Yacht Club Soda); its iconic monuments (the two-ton termite known as The Big Blue Bug, the Superman Building, and Mr. Potato Head); and its iconic events (Parade of the Ancients and Horribles, Best Dressed State Trooper Awards, and the Fools Regatta).

My husband is from Woonsocket, RI and I got this book for him because every summer, all he wants to do is explore the smallest state in the union. So, I figured I'd give him some direction. He already knew about some of the things in this book, but there was a lot of things he'd never heard of. We both really enjoyed reading about the oddities of one of the odder states. Rhode Island may be small, but it's jam packed with insanities.
