chillin in a panera @ the millenium mall in orlando

so, our roads closed. which means we're going to jacksonville.

the wiki

so the main claim to fame that town has in my opinion is the origin of Black Kids an indie band that got big lately.


where we're at

after jacksonville comes atlanta. supposedly racist.


no idea how it'll be.

then knoxville with kirby from mvs in dayton ohio.

after it'll be cincy perhaps stopping at ikea then home

orlando to dayton

dayton, cincinnati, lexington, knoxville, atlanta,

4 south to 408
408 west to 91
91 west to 75
75 north to gainesville florida, valdosta, tifton, macon, right through atlanta, whichs huge, dalton, chattanooga looks pretty big, knoxville, corbin, daniel boone national forest, lexington, cincinnati, dayton.

960 miles, 15 hours, there are tolls, but not many. the only tolls are getting out of florida.

so... atlanta looks interesting, knoxville is where kirby is, and uh... then the forest looks kinda cool. the names cool i wonder if he was a real guy and then they named it after the actual guy. and then when we're in cincinnati we can always go to ikea. plus theyve got a zoo, and that jungle jims store that we've never gone to.
so currently we're in orlando soon to be heading to ohio.

The area which is now Providence was first settled in June 1636 by Roger Williams, and was one of the original Thirteen Colonies of the United States.[9] Williams secured a title from the Narragansett natives around this time and gave the city its present name.

Seven of the fourteen institutions of higher learning in Rhode Island have campuses in Providence (city proper):
Brown University, an Ivy League university
Community College of Rhode Island (Downcity and Liston campuses)
Johnson & Wales University, notable for its culinary and hospitality program
Providence College, a top master's level college and member of the Big East Conference.
Rhode Island College
Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), one of the country's top art colleges
University of Rhode Island (Providence campus).

Providence Station, located between the Rhode Island State House and the downtown district, is served by Amtrak[114] and MBTA Commuter Rail services, with a commuter rail running to Boston.

Roger Williams Park, in the southern part of the city of Providence, Rhode Island, is an elaborately landscaped 427-acre (173 ha) city park and National Historic District.
