AS220 mentioned briefly in this article[views:7555][posts:12]___________________________________ [Mar 10,2011 3:35pm - dreadkill ""] http://travel.yahoo.com/p-interests-38446701 Providence, RI Move over, Boston. A renewed waterfront, vibrant arts scene, and sophisticated dining have turned this small college town into New England's most exciting city. Edgy galleries like New Urban Arts and AS220 host parties as well as exhibitions, while the RISD Museum shows French Impressionists, 20th-century masters, and rising young artists (including alums). The once-derelict West End neighborhood is now the city's epicenter of cool, with friendly dive bars, vintage stores, terrific eateries, and indie record stores. Swill cocktails at The Avery before moving on to the E&O Tap, a local institution. Don't Miss: Opened in March 2010, Cook & Brown brings French finesse to down-home classics. Try the stuffed quail with cranberry relish and wild rice. |

| __________________________________ [Mar 10,2011 3:54pm - brian_dc ""] Providence gets rated waaaay too highly for a lot of cultural type things because of the RISD connection. Oh, the West End is still a shithole. I don't care how many cool places they throw in there. |

| ______________________________ [Mar 10,2011 4:58pm - Lamp ""] The funny thing is, this "cool" west end is exactly where all the crime is moving to. Federal Hill is going to be the new south side in due time. Also, "renewed waterfront", are you fucking kidding me? |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 10,2011 6:06pm - josh_hates_you ""] this whole city fucking sucks for the most part. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 10,2011 6:56pm - hauptpflucker ""] Worcester, MA Move over, Boston. A renewed freight yard, vibrant graffiti scene, and sophisticated hobos have turned this eyesore into New England's least desirable city... After Providence, Lowell, and Springfield. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 10,2011 7:29pm - Lamp ""] It might just be the fact that I grew up in Rhode Island but I like Providence more than any other city in the area. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 10,2011 11:53pm - brian_dc ""] I feel the same way. But I also feel a little sorry and slightly naive for feeling that way. |
