I briefly lived in SC for a job, but never heard of it. I'll keep it in mind.

Rhode Island is great overall, but there are a few things to note
>Providence is an old industrial city that has been undergoing some renewal. Most of the city is in good shape now, but Cranston-Warwick is not.
>Narragansett is cute little town - get a place to stay in the historic part, go to the beach, see the Port Judith lighthouse, go to Iggy's for doughboys.
>Newport is one of the biggest summer tourist towns (tourist nightmares) in New England. There's lots to do, lots to see, lots to eat. Historic mansions, museums, sailing tours, kayaking, shopping, nearby beaches, the cliff walk, etc. But Late June through August it is also bursting with tourists. I usually do a day trip there now, but I can't stomach any more than that.
>Meanwhile, nearby Bristol has some of the same flavors but a tenth of the fame and a twentieth of the visitors. Bristol is known for their July 4th celebration which I've been to three times. They have concerts for weeks prior to the 4th, a big parade, and fireworks. This is their biggest holiday and the entire town comes out for it.
>Finally, an oddity. Woonsocket RI was formerly settled by many French immigrants. The town is a Little France with inspired shops and restaurants, although I don't think that many French speakers still remain there.
There are other things in Rhode Island people love like Block Island, but these are the places I'm familiar with.
