Welcome, I am so glad you are here. A quick conversation between Darby Pontes and I led to a longer coffee meet-up where we explored how we both would love to highlight Warren residents who we wanted to know better. Our goal was to interview the candidates to record their oral histories and photograph them to document them just as they are. Below are 10 unique individuals who make Warren, Rhode Island a wonderful New England seaside community. They all offer up a unique talent, story, or service that make Warren a place they all want to be a part of. Welcome to the “Fabric of Warren” where you will have a chance to learn a little bit more about our neighbors.
