The Boston-Providence Theory

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-kicking beer. Narragansett beer is simply Narragansett Bay sludge colored to look like beer.
Guy 1: I don't really feel safe living in Providence.
Guy 2: Well according to the Boston-Providence Theory you abandon that hell-hole and move to paradise.
Guy 1: Good call. What part of Boston should I move to?

"After seeing the light, Max found the Red Sox, left Pawtucket and settled in Back Bay."

Providence

A under rated city, the next thing to pop in Hip Hop. Providence a city filled with mostly Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, and African Americans that are just trying to get by.

A small city with the population about a 200,000 with very high crime rate.

Providence is the only city in Rhode Island with diversity, you will see very little white people.

Providence is divided into 3 sides South Side, West Side, and East Side.

Providence has many haters, probaly because they got their shit ran by someone from there, or there ass kicked.
*A white family in mini-van drives through Providence*

Billy- Mom im scared.

Mom- Don't worry Billy we will be fine if you dont look at no one stright in the eye. * Locks doors, and puts up windows*

Loud rap music in background

Billy- Mom that music isn't Hillary Duff.

Mom- Yes, I know its Providence music.

Billy- Providence Music?

New Providence

A small, middle-class, suburbian town in Northern New Jersey. New Providence lives in the shadow of neighboring towns Chatham and Summit. The kids at the high school are usually ignorant douchebags who know nothing about anything outside the shithole they call a town. Although there are exceptions, the guys at the high school think their hot shit but the reality is that they get their asses handed to them in almost every way possible. To make up for these deficiencies, they all like to show off their "hot rods". I hate to be the one who tells them this but that's not gonna get you anywhere buds. The girls at New Providence arent much better. Again there are exceptions, but for the most part they are artifically tanned orange pieces of mass who could care less about anything other than their skin tone. Their academics are on the decline and their sports teams are incredibly average, continually getting their asses kicked by rival, Governor Livingston of Berkely Heights. I don't even go there or live in Berkely Heights. There is nothing to do in town but hang outside CVS and Blockbuster in the Village Shopping Center or get stoned outside Friendly's. There are very few places to eat, and with the exception of Coppola's which does have extraordinary pizza, the majority of the food cannot be digested. To sum it all up, New Providence is an uncultured town that shouldn't even be compared to its neighbors Summit, Chatham and Berkely Heights (again I do not live in any of these places).
Teacher: Billy do you know the answer to this question?

Teacher: Now let's get an answer from somebody whose not a complete retard.
