The Concrete Factory (Closed)
You'd Hard Ice Cream... The Concrete Factory, Ashford November 2011 The Concrete Factory closed in 2013. Let's dispense with the obvious first: This is a very oddly named ice cream boutique.

Day 6: Rhode Island 2010
Green Scene September 2, 2010 Tired of the beach, we struck out north up to Portsmouth for half the day. At some point in my life I got four free passes to any Newport Mansion properties.

Days 1-3: Rhode Island 2010
Crazy ol' Rhode Island August 28-30, 2010 I don't even have any pictures of the 29th and can only assume we did nothing but lounge around and go to the beach all day.
