This is The Cranstonian's first dispatch, which means there is technically a paper of record for Cranston, Rhode Island now, whether the town asked for one or not.

Expect restaurant reviews conducted with real seriousness applied to real meals, coverage of local events worth actually leaving the house for, and community stories that assume you already know where Garden City is.

What To Expect

• Restaurant reviews from people who actually finish their plates
• Local events worth putting on the calendar
• Community stories that don't require a press release to justify themselves

We will get things wrong sometimes. When we do, we will say so, right here, in the same font size as everything else.
