Thrillist: Providence one of America’s eight most overlooked small cities

PROVIDENCE – Providence is one of America’s eight most overlooked small cities, according to the website Thrillist, which looked at cities with populations between 100,000 and 300,000 that “just haven’t gotten the national love and attention they deserve.”
“Here’s where they get that much deserved love,” Thrillist wrote.
Thrillist said Rhode Island is arguably one of the most “forgotten about states” and as a result, its capital city doesn’t get the respect it deserves.
Providence, population 177,000, Thrillist said, has one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in America – in another Thrillist ranking last month, College Hill ranked fourth in the country.
Thrillist also noted the presence of Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design, which give the city a “younger vibe than you would expect from one of the oldest cities in the country” and also singled out Bob and Timmy’s Grilled Pizza and Al Forno as places to sample the city’s signature grilled pizza style.
Other “overlooked small cities” on the list: Rochester, N.Y.; Richmond, Va.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Winston-Salem, N.C.; Cinncinati; Chattanooga, Tenn; and Mobile, Ala.
