Part of Providence's antipathy towards Boston has to do with RI's inherent parochial character but also resentment of Boston's dominance in New Englands's cultural landscape -- they get all the big touring acts, etc. Personally, I sometimes feel like Boston is kind of expansionist and thinks of Providence as a commuter city, which is kinda bullshit.
lol ... this reminds me of that infamous NYT story from about 7 years ago when some NYcers who had moved to Philadelphia wrote a quiddities-style article about Philly becoming "the sixth borough." said article was not well-received by real Philadelphians of course.

TWU, you ever come back for reunions? We should do Somerville drinks if you do.

...without manliness we’re going to die as a species. Because being a nerd will never get you any action.
Does this fellow not realize that this 'problem' can safely be left to solve itself without his guidance and advice?
