Applebee's at South County Commons will be undergoing a facelift - both interior and exterior. Not sure if they will shut down during the make-over. - 05/15/12.
Time for those great May Day Breakfast-es at various Firehouses - Tuckertown, West Kingston, Snug Harbor, etc. - around the state. - 05/01/12.

Holy crap - did you hear what Mitt Romney said today? He said "He and I have spoken and ..." Wow - Imagine that! He better change his tune quickly to "Me and him have spoken and ..." - otherwise he'll lose the red-neck vote. That's almost as bad as saying ... "Yes, I speak French fluently." - 04/23/12.
Remember Shaw's Wish Big, Win Big $15 MILLION promotion. Here's the results. If you total all the prizes on the flyer, they only come to $1,753,250. (So, most likely the remaining $13,246,750 is represented by a lot of $.25 coupons on a box of micro-wave popcorn and the like. Whoop-de-do!) Only five of the top 26 prizes, which came to $1,050,000 in value, were awarded and those five totaled only $145,000 or almost 14%. Not one of the two grand prizes - $250,000 in cash - was awarded. Shaw's should NOT be proud. - 04/20/12.
The line at Iggy's on a gorgeous Patriots Day. - 04/17/12.
Erika Van Pelt and Kevin Costner. How 'bout that! - 04/09/12.
Rhode Island Median Income by town/city. - 04/02/12.
Erika Van Pelt was a guest on the Anderson Cooper Show on March 28, 2012. Anderson thought she deserved better than a 10th place finish. Erika is thrilled about the upcoming American Idol Tour. Also on the show was the the South Kingstown High School Choral Group - they "SKYPED IN" and a representative of the group, Christina, came on-stage to tell Erika what an inspiration she is for all the members of the choral group. - 04/01/12.

Sarah has nice comeback WIN at the Carolina Clash. The "Worlds" will be played there in July. - 03/26/12.
The South Kingstown Zoning Board seems agreeable to Phil's plans for outdoor, roof-top dining with a max of approximately 40 or so customers outside. An elevated walkway will connect the roof-top with the main restaurant.
Gutting. - 12/11/12.
Update. - 02/10/12,
Closing in. - 03/24/12.
Congratulations to South Kingstown's Erika Van Pelt on her excellent run on American Idol which ended last night with a Top Ten Finish and a summer tour upcoming. Great Job, Erika! - 03/21/12.
For those keeping score ... Giro's is OPEN AGAIN according to the South County Independent. Looks like they were closed for just January and February. Give them a try. - 03/05/12.
RE: Shaw's $15 MILLION promotion - "Wish Big, Win Big". Rumor has it that of the top 26 prizes ($10,000 or more), only FIVE were claimed. Waiting for verification. - 03/01/12.

Ed Phillips, former Deering High (Portland, ME) Right-hander in the early 1960's, was one of 200+ former Red Sox players who attended the 100 year anniversary of Fenway Park on April 20, 2012. He appeared in 18 games in 1970 for the Red Sox. Some pix from TV, Boston Globe, etc. - 04/21/12.
Best wishes to "The Captain" - Jason Varitek, as he retires as an active player for the Red Sox. - 03/04/12.
Christine Kane ... there always seems to be much interest in Christine and her husband, Russ Hochstein of the N.E. Patriots and, as of the 2009 season, the Denver Broncos. Maybe this post should remain permanent and not cycle off after three months. Christine was simply one of the best junior high, high school (East Greenwich, RI) and college (Div II in Massachusetts.) athletes that SCFun has ever seen. Click on SCFan above or in banner at top to see their wedding picture. - 03/01/12.

How dumb are we? We seem to be able to handle He/Him and She/Her but when it comes to Who/Whom, we don't seem to have a clue. Is it really that difficult ... or are we just plain lazy? - 03/01/12.

Giro's ... the New Giro's ... should open anyday in Peace Dale. The interior is being gutted, floors are being leveled, etc. - 10/01/10.
>>> ... Shouldn't it have opened by now? - 12/10/10.
>>> ... Something's wrong? - 01/07/11.
>>> ... Anyone? - 05/07/11.
>>> ... Action seen - workers doing exterior work. - 08/02/11.
>>> ... Anyone have any news? - 11/02/11.
>>> ... Something may happen by the end of Nov, 2011 - according to SCI. - 11/11/11.
>>> ... YES! - now open as of late November. Serving Lunch/Dinner seven days a week. - 12/01/11.
>>> ... SCFun visited in December, 2011. A few days later, they are TEMPORARILY CLOSED! The old interior, although ugly, was actually more condusive to business than the remodeled version. Too bad. - 02/06/12.
>>> ... Back open! Looks like they were just closed for Jan and Feb. - 03/08/12.

Anyone still using Schick Injector Razor Blades? Apparently not - CVS, Rite-Aid, Walmart no longer carry the blades. You can, however, still find them at www.drugstore.com www.amazon.com and www.nationwidecampus.com. - 04/12/12.
Why is it that so many restaurants have "MILK" on their menus but NOT Fat Free or Skim Milk? SCFun doesn't understand the logic. Has the American OBESITY PROBLEM gone away. - 04/07/12.
"Keep YOUR CHURCH out of MY STATE." - 03/08/12.
How does one tell the difference between a FAKE RELIGION and a REAL RELIGION? Seriously! SCFun gives up. They both believe in some real weird stuff. Both flocks donate a lot of money. The elders in the "fake and the real" wear funny costumes. How does one tell the difference? - 03/04/12
Anyone using these two social APPS - Socialcam.com and Groupme.com? SCFun is still trying to understand Groupme.com. - 03/04/12.

The Saturday Morning (10:00am - 2:00pm) Farmers' Market at the Peace Dale Mill Complex in Wakefield. Come May, it will move outside ... to the URI Neighborhood. - 04/07/12.

When will this new Amtrak Commuter Station open? It's in North Kingstown, just east of Walmart. Hopefully cheaper to park here ($4/day?) and then take the train to T.F. Green than to park at the airport. - 03/11/12.

You are welcome to pay a visit. - 08/21/81
