A northeastern state in the USA that is part of the New England region. Other than being the smallest state in the country, it's not that different from other mid-north Atlantic states. Rhode Island's geography consists of beaches and temperate woods, and the topography is relatively flat except for a few hills and rocky outcrops. The Narragansett Bay is located in the eastern half of the state along with most of the population while the western half of the state is somewhat remote with a classic rustic atmosphere.
To answer the three most common questions Rhode Islanders are asked:
1. Yes, we're well aware that Rhode Island is not an island. The official name is "Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations", referring to what is now known as Aquidneck Island and the mainland portion of the state. We shortened it.
2. Yes, there is a reason Rhode Island is small. Back in Colonial America, the colonies of Connecticut and Massachusetts controlled the area surrounding where Rhode island currently exists. So unlike other colonies that had elbow room to expand, the Rhode island colony was limited to a wedge of spare land between Connecticut and Massachusetts.
3. No, Quahog is not a real place; a quahog is actually a species of edible clam found all along the Eastern seaboard. The fictional town depicted in Family Guy is based off of the city of Cranston, which is directly southwest of the state capitol, Providence.
I moved to Rhode Island as an infant and have lived here for 20 years.

Lot's of sterotypes. But here's the REAL thing from and actual Rhode Islander (Surprise! Didn't know there was any?)
Okay, we're small but not THAT small, it takes at least... well... 45 minutes to get from top to bottom in good traffic (ok I guess we are kinda small)... lots of beaches, home of Del's Lemonade, in which watermelon is the best flavor, lemon's gross (it's got real lemon bits, ewww), the word bubbla or even bubbler (a water fountain), smallest state, longest official name (State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations), shortest moto (Hope, it's kinda gay), sometimes SOME of us don't pronounce are letter r's, population about 1 million, so not everyone knows everyone, foster gloster, the best state ever, what else am I forgetting? Oh yeah coffee milk, it's good try it sometime. Oh and the Burning of the Gaspee, look it up I'm not explaining it, and whatever else I'm forgetting or don't know.
Funny story: Once my family was visting somewhere (Massachutesettes or NH maybe) and (this was when I was really little, I don't even remember but my family told me, my brother, who was like four at the time, ordered coffee milk at a resturant, a waitress brought him coffee AND milk! She'd never even heard of coffee milk (the Rhode Island state drink) before!

1.A great state to leave 2.A half baked experiment in politics gone horribly awry 3.A great place to drink & drive ( even if you only have to go around the block, as it beats walking in most towns, there are bars everywhere, and most cops don't care unless you hit something and they actually have to put down their donut and work )4. A textbook example of how to destroy otherwise beautiful & picturesque coastal property 5. A great place to find an amazing variety of food at any hour of the day or night ( if you know where to go ) 6. A great state to leave
Why the hell did I stay in Rhode Island for 40 years, I'm outta here !!

A small, shitty, trash area full of arrogant, druggy faggots who are asleep 50% of the time. Drivers on Ghetto Island, oops sorry ''Rhode Island,'' are either too slow or recklessly fast. No one has heard of Rhode Island because of it's shittiness.
Guy 1: Rhode Island? Never heard of it? Do you mean, Long Island?
Guy 2: WTF? No! Rhode Island!
Guy 3: Oh, he means Ghetto Island
Guy 1: Ohhh. That place sucks dick!

This is a horrible place with corrupt police, lawyers, and certain few wealthy running it. It is best not to go there unless you like jail, unjust punishment, along with the occasional police beat down.

I,m so glad I finally left Rhode Island after all these years, although it's midnight and I could sure go for a lobster.
