Speaking to Rhode Island in general, and especially Providence, food is amazing. Crime rates are higher in Providence but as someone who is in Providence all of the time I have never seen anything with my own eyes, and I've been fortunate enough nothing has happened to me. No car break-ins or anything like that. Food and music scene is phenomenal, great arts scene, Providence is a very creative city. It's smaller than either Pittsburgh or Baltimore though so I think you will be missing home a bit. I am not from Pittsburgh or Baltimore but I hope this helps anyway

Yes, it definitely helps! Thank you for responding :) . I think we are ready for a smaller city as long as the food is still great and there are some fun things to do, which seems to definitely be the case! I think this is maybe our lead option. I love hearing about people really enjoying where they live.

Also for what it's worth, it is very walkable and the Amtrak train station provides access to Boston, NyC City, and other cities in the Northeast Corridor!
