...having been Georging for five years, four months (November 3rd, 1999) I received Alaska and Hawaii hits relatively early in my Georging history. I never thought that Rhode Island, being so close to my home state of Pennsylvania, would take so long to receive a hit!

Rhode Island

nickname: the Ocean State [13th state, May 29th, 1790] [state bird: Rhode Island Red] [state flower: Violet] [state motto: Hope] [state tree: Red Maple]

1,120th Hit, Tuesday, March 1st, 2005 *

My first Rhode Island sighting (giving me 50 State Bingo) comes from a bill just eight months after Joanne and I spent it for lunch at Masso's Deli in scenic Gibbsboro, Camden County, NJ. Found by Sara, a relatively new Georger (registered last November) who reported finding it at Coventry High School "penny wars". Sara reported this bill from Coventry, RI 02816 (see a map)
