Nickname for Vincent A Cianci Jr., former mayor of Providence, Rhode Island. Currently serving 6 years in club fed for racketeering, extortion, witness tampering, and all that fun stuff. Still very popular in Rhode Island and credited with revitalizing Providence's image and economy.

The state that came out Massachusetts butt hole and the result was Rhode island. A Boring state, with a bunch of corrupt politicians like Buddy cianci( Typical Italian from Rhode island who gives Italians around the country bad names). The capital is Providence, which is a complete dump, the only attraction are the water fires and one good school. The nightlife is very bad, alot of clubs are ghetto and full of Rhode island garbage, only a few decent ones. The state with the highest percentage of Italian descendents of poor peasants from Sicily and southern parts of Italy. Also referred as the ocean state or crap state. full of stupid ghetto kids and lots of ugly girls. Wishes it was as good as Massachusetts

Rhode Island state capitol.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Diverse melting pot style neighborhoods......Going down the toilet since the "corrupt" mayor got tossed.

Mr. Cianci may have not done things the way others would...but he got shit done and the city was better off.

The major free local publication(The Providence Phoenix) is a complete peice of shit rag that doesn't have the slightest clue about anything going on in the underground music scene (hip hop or rock) and they just step on and devastate the local music scene with their horrible bullshit in print.

the bad neighborhoods aren't even that bad if you think of human beings as human beings.....

I'm a scrawny white kid and I ride my bike through south prov and olneyville when its dark and light and never have problems.

There are alot of prejudice people and there are alot of pollitically correct people.....neither of which I really care for..

apparently there is a mob presence but I doubt like hell anyone ever "actually" witnesses any presence except for italian people eating italian food at italian restaraunts...

There is a large club scene here which is completely destroying the music scene and filling our neighborhoods with lousy college kids who have no courtesy for neighbors and drunk drivers flying up and down our streets making the pedestrian population unsafe.

This has the potential to be a great bike city....but it isn't.

Apparently they teach kids how to be juvenile delinquent ...

The Boston-Providence Theory states that there is nothing in Rhode Island that is better than anything in Massachusetts. Rhode Island was created in 1765 when Jonathan Williams, a prominent cartographer, sneezed while drawing Massachusetts. The most persuading data to back up the Boston-Providence Theory is as follows:

1. Boston > Providence. Boston has better people, bars, beer, accents, businesses, neighborhoods, rivers and schools.
2. Harvard > Brown. Brown is the illegitimate step-child of the Ivy League. Harvard is the best college in the country.
3. Cape Cod > Newport. Newport is tiny and as aside from a very nice section near the water, is an appalling ghetto. Cape Cod's gorgeous beaches and dunes are world famous.
4. Whitey Bulger > Buddy Cianci. Buddy Cianci got caught. Whitey's adventures spawned an Academy Award winning film.
5. Roxbury > Pawtucket. Because if we're talking ghettos, Roxbury will fuck you up.
6. Dunkin' Donuts > Dell's. Dell's is a lemonade stand on steroids. Dunkin' Donuts is a purveyor of the finest coffee in New England.
7. Red Sox > Providence Bruins. Have you even heard of the Providence Bruins? Their big brother plays in...Boston. The Red Sox are a New England institution
8. Children's > Hasbro. When your kid's got an earache, you go to Hasbro. He comes home with the flu. When your kid has cancer, you go to Children's. He comes home healthy.
9. Sam Adams > Narragansett Brewery. Sam Adams is an internationally acclaimed, ass-kick...

One that could be defined by the essence of Zach Hartman.

Or Buddy Cianci, yeah, that too.

1. The greatest place in the world.
2. The nation's greatest kept secret... the best place to party, eat, relax, most culture, and the number one place to have a generally awesome time.
3. Home of New York System Weiners, Dels Lemonade, Salt and Vinegar on French Fries, Buddy Cianci, no school Fosta Glossta, and most importantly, Coffeemilk.

Home of the Italian mob (note the numerous "Free Buddy Cianci!" shirts worn by college students in the city), Brown University (the ugly stepchild of the Ivy League- where you can graduate taking all classes pass/fail), RISD (which somehow managed to out-Brown Brown University), Providence College (where the kids their take more pride in their BAC than their GPA), Federal Hill (great Italian food- a good side benefit of the Italian mob), Providence Place Mall (funded by the mob, like everything else in this city), and lots and lots and lots of 'hood. There is no middle ground in Providence- you're either in a rich neighborhood or the projects. Oh, and waterfire is pretty cool.
