Rhode Island is, well, small.
1,214 square miles--48 miles North to South, 37 miles East to West.
384 miles of sandy shoreline and 40 miles of rocky coastline.
Where everyone knows someone and a quahog is a clam and not the name of a town (thanks, Family Guy).
Recognize any of this? Here's 10 more things that only Rhode Islanders can recognize:
1. When you give someone your phone number, you forgo saying the area code. There's only one-- the Four-Oh-One-- so why bother saying it?
2. When you give directions and navigate to a location, you rely on past, demolished landmarks.
3. Who wants clam chowdah?
4. Your wicked strong accent.
5. You learned how to drive by dodging potholes.
6. You're used to Mother Nature having a mind of her own, making it nearly impossible to predict the weather for the day.
7. When you can't go to the local supermarket without having a high school reunion.
8. Any drive longer than 20 minutes is considered a road trip.
9. Those Rhode Islanders who still can't stay in their lane during rush-hour traffic on 95.
10. Road and bridge repair projects finishing at the rate that paint dries.
