We did Thanksgiving at the National Hotel circa 1992. It was like THE SHINING. We were the only people staying there, I swear....

You are living wrong, then. Not a criticism, just an observation. The Block is the Shit.

Avoid Nucar Tarbox at all costs. Sold them a used car and they bullshitted me big time.

I used to go to the Downcity location (Custom House St?), and it was always borderline unprofessional. Like, managed by someone who was just sort of figuring it out as they went along. And the donuts were ok but not great. I went to PVDonuts instead, if I could.

Be willing to go back and re-read a passage or section again. Patience and focus are key!
Also, you will often see a word or phrase you don't know. If you can figure it out from context, good. If you can ignore it and still understand the sentence/meaning, good. But, if it occurs many times, you should stop and look it up in a dictionary or translator etc.

Reply to I am interested in learning about the history of Aquidneck Island. Can you recommend me any in depth (the deeper, the better) articles, books, documentaries, YouTube channels, museums, etc on this subject? Thank you in advance. by PinkSwallowLove
State archives usually have cool data or documents about anything you can think of. And they love to suggest further resources.

Years ago I was driving with my wife and we saw one like this that I read out loud:
"BIG AL"
And my wife looked at it and said:
"BI GAL"
Never did get a look at the driver, but it was more of a BIG AL kind of vehicle, tbh.
So yeah, the "dash" can be important.

Do not trust the guys at Tarbox Nucar. Very slippery, not totally honest.

Lots of research on this, nationally. See, for example:
In part, it says: "What often goes unnoticed is the economic distress and imprisonment of poverty that the rise of dollar stores creates."
