Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town

[With apologies to Stephen Leacock.]

The current issue of The East Side Monthly, a freebie magazine about what’s happening in the wealthiest neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island, features a profile of one Reverend Jonathan Huyck. Following five years as a pastor at the American Cathedral in Paris, the Episcopal globetrotter has returned to the center of the universe, where he spent his undergrad days at Brown University. An excerpt:

“Father Huyck is no longer a student, however. He and his family are settling in as true residents. They have explored the Farmer’s Market at Lippitt Park, joined the Athenæum and RISD’s Museum of Art, and participated in Fox Point’s National Neighborhood Day event. Jonathan rides his bike to work. He hopes to get on the East Bay and Blackstone River Bike Paths soon. ‘Oh, and there is Taste of India on Wickenden Street – my all-time favorite restaurant,’ says Jonathan. ‘It is better than anything in Paris.’”
