hood? providence? are you kidding?

oh i kid you not.

for a place that seems very "suburban" i was shocked to find how hood some spots were.


we went to a club on friday night called Jovan's. I guess i should have known from the name, but i thought "well it's providence, the block can't be THAT hot"

oh but it was....when we were leaving, we walked as quickly as possible to the car. with all them black folks out there in front of the club, a "nigga moment" was bound to pop off (thanks, aaron macgruder).

providence is also home to probably one of the most awesome malls i've ever been to. providence place NOT ONLY has an H &M, and two (2) aldo stores, but it also happens to have...a Delia's store! Delias? i thought. I grew up on the Delia's catalog. Seeing the store was total trip to me. i couldn't believe my eyes.

another cool place i went to while i was there: this spot called...the Black Repertory Center (Black Rep for short). very chill, fairly inexpensive drinks, live soul music, and dj that played mostly dancehall. oh, and lively, inebriated alphas. what more can a girl ask for? wonderful vibe, nice ambiance.

i used to crack jokes about my boy livin in rhode island...one liners about cow tipping come to mind. but now i'm rethinking it. maybe i'll go even go back for a return visit. whoda thunkit?
