I came across a website called "Judgmental Maps" showing preconceptions folks have of their cities and states. For example, in the Texas map, the eastern corner is marked "Soulless Rich People," the western corner, "Halfway to LA," and the middle, "Absolutely nothing."

It inspired me to list preconceptions of various Rhode Island places:

BARRINGTON: Soccer moms, endangered Republicans and where’s the party house?

BENEFIT STREET: Yankees strolling past plaques and cobblestones to the club.

BONNET SHORES: Cabanas.

BRISTOL: Don't even try to shorten our parade.

BRADFORD: They make soap there, right?

CHARLESTOWN: Swamp Yankees driving pickups with fishing rods.

COVENTRY: Chaotic fire districts and one-ton pumpkins.
