The universe that is Rhode Island

Can’t get enough of Rhode Island? If last Sunday’s Explore New England story on the biggest things in the smallest state only whetted your appetite for more Little Rhody, check out Blog on the Half Shell, authored by my friend Doug Norris, the Arts & Living editor at the South County Independent in Wakefield, R.I. He's one of the most well-traveled people I know, and yet he's always honored his Rhode Island roots. If you think you know Rhode Island, think again - Doug can tell you the difference between a jonnycake and a johnnycake, how many working diners there are in the state, and more than you ever wanted to know about Mr. Potato Head. Go Rhode Island!
