I don’t have a better way to phrase this, but my Mama always used to say “hood rules apply” in any city lol. No valuables in your car (not even a phone charger cord), know your direct neighbors in case you ever need help, get packages delivered to the side or back if the house, very much mind your businesses, etc.

My husband grew up in Queens and I was a Section 8 kid in Camden so Providence seems pretty tame haha.
