South Kingstown, Rhode Island has its own special corner of the world. From the outside looking in, it may seem like a stereotypical small American town, but beneath the surface it is so much.

To my fellow townies: here is an article that will allow you to appreciate everything that surrounds you

A is for (Green Line) Apothecary

It may be new to town, but it's a great addition and it makes you feel like you're back in the 1950's.

B is for Brickley's Ice Cream

Enough said.

C is for (South County) Commons

Oh, the memories. If you don't remember wandering around the commons on Friday nights, it's probably because you blocked it out of your mind.

D is for Dennis Moffitt Painting wall

It changes with the seasons and holidays, and you're always excited to see what will show up next.

E is for El Fuego Mexican Grill

It's all about authenticity...and Taco Tuesday.

F is for Fireworks at OMF

You may not be able to find a place to sit unless you get there hours early, but this Fourth of July celebration definitely brings the town together.

G is for Green Hill

It's just about as far out as you can get before you're not in SK anymore.

H is for Hannah Robinson Tower

Because anything past the tower just isn't worth the trek.

I is for Indian Lake

Home to some of the most breathtaking views in all of Rhode Island.

J is for Jim's Dock

It's the perfect place to go if you don't want to be surrounded by the beach crowd, and the restaurant has some of the best seafood around!

K is for Kingston Station

We may have to go past the tower to find an airport, but at least we don't have to travel far to hop on a train.

L is for Ladies' Night on Main Street

Twice a year, the ladies of SK happily drink wine and blow all of their money on small business shopping.

M is for Mews Tavern

Got beer?

N is for Narragansett Town Beach

Because we think it's ours, even though Gannett townies are always very quick to correct us.

O is for Ocean Mist

Ticket Tuesday!

P is for Phil's Main Street Grille

You can get the best breakfast around for under five dollars.

Q is for Quaint Main Street

We might forget to appreciate it at times, but there's no denying how cute our little town really is.

R is for (SKHS) Rebels

Let's face it, we kick butt in high school athletics.

S is for South Kingstown High School

Give us a yell, give us a yell, give us a good old rebel yell...

T is for Theatre By The Sea

Where else can you watch a live musical performance and still feel the ocean breeze?

U is for University of Rhode Island

Rhody, Rhody, Rhody! (Rams, Rams, Rams!)

V is for Very proud

Proud. Proud to be apart of a town full of kind-hearted people who want to do good things for the world. Proud to be apart of a community that unites when times get tough.

W is for Wakefield Liquors

Cheers!

X is for eXtreme Airsoft

This is definitely a pretty cool aspect of our little corner of the world, and lots of fun, too!

Y is for Yearly Balloon Festival

The festivals in southern Rhode Island during the summer are some of the best, and this one is no exception.

Z is for Zero Wampum

This is the place to go when you need a birthday gift, Mother's Day gift, or any little knick-knack that captures the essence of the oceans state.

If you live in South Kingstown, you know that it's much more than meets the eye. It is filled with tons of hidden secrets and if you're lucky enough to live here, then you're lucky enough!

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
