Capital of Rhode Island, cool place to be, alot of people have fucked up definitions of providence. Each end has rich parts and poor parts, yes even the south side. You can be with yuppies, hippies, college kids, old people and gays on college hill-part of east side and go 4 blocks over to pleasant st. where u can still here gunshots every now and then. Most people who think they're going to get shot or robbed by driving in providence are from surrounding towns or out of state and are usually scared of what they dont understand. rhode island is full of white kids who are open minded for the most part, but are scared of the city because they have households that have alot of prejudice. Like white kids who have black friends in school, but dont hang with them on the weekends, and listen to hip-hop music and/or dress in that style. But wont have them over their house. The parents are like that too especially the farther into the sticks you go. They don't mind they're son having a black friend, but their daughter better not come home with a black boyfriend. Dumb shit like that. Theres not alot of evil hatred and racism, but there is a good amount of prejudice, mainly due to the people's own ignorance. But they'll never say it to your face. But providence is like any other city, you have good parts and bad parts, but unlike real bad ghettos in other states, PROVIDENCE IS STILL QUIET AT NIGHT! theres only 20 murders a year, in the whole state!! I was born and raised in providence, im 23 years old, and still live in providence. I hang with kids from cranston, warwick, west warwick, pawtucket, central falls, cumberland, smithfield, scituate, newport, warren, north kingstown, south kingstown,johnston, bristol, barrington, woonsocket, east providence, north providence, east side, south side, north side, west end, and fed hill. and most of the shit in these other definitions is crap.
