Pawtucket
Pawtucket is where Providence rent refugees pretend they meant to land here. The mills got converted, the artists got priced into them, and now the artists are eyeing Central Falls. Hope Artiste Village throws decent markets, the Hot Club still books bands worth crossing the river for, and Modern Diner runs a brunch line that doubles as a dating app in daylight. Tinder skews art-school adjacent, slightly older, and visibly tired of explaining where Pawtucket is. The Slater Mill plaque tells you America's Industrial Revolution started here. The vibe tells you nobody has been in a hurry since.
