Our trip to North Kingstown brought us throughout various parts of the town, such as Quonsset point, Wickford, and the Gilbert Stuart Museum. As a whole, the demographics of North Kingstown are very similar to Cumberland, with high populations of Irish, English, and Italians. Throughout the town, these nationalities reflect in both popular and folk culture. Irish descendants make up 25.8% of North Kingstown’s population, reflected in local restaraunts such as Fat Belly’s pub, Roman Catholic Churches such as Our Lady of Mercy Roman Catholic Church, and names such as Hamilton Elementary school.

This became a haven for local artists after the founding of the Wickford Art Assossciation (in North Kingstown). Throughout the town, in restaraunts and stores, artwork created by local artists can be found. The main road through wickford village, Main Street, is full of historic buildings. Nowadays, these buildings are home to many local businesses, showing how pop culture and folk culture interact. Though the buildings are an example of the folk culture brought over by early settlers, the modern businesses in them demonstrate folk culture. In addition to local pop culture, national and international companies also have locations in North Kingstown. They represent uniform landscape, as these stores are comparable to ones found elsewhere, providing consumers-both local and tourists-a sense of farmiliarity. For example, chains such as McDonalds and Starbucks can be found in North Kingtown, but almost identical restaraunts can also be found all over the world. Overall both pop and folk culture influence can be found throughout North Kingstown. The great majority of European descendants and the town’s proximity to the ocean reflect in local food, architecture, religion, and business

My hometown, Linglestown, Pennsylvania was founded originally in 1765 in Paxton Township. The land was bought by Thomas Lingle to develop a 90-plot living, working, and studying community for newly arriving European settlers. He called his new settlement “The Town of St. Thomas,” after his namesake “St. Thomas,” the disciple. In 1811, when Mr. Lingle passed away, he was buried in Wenrich’s Church Cemetery. The cemetery still remains behind the St. Thomas United Church of Christ at the east end of the Linglestown Square. Soon after, village and area residents started calling the village “Lingle’s town.” The official name changed to Linglestown soon after (Linglestown History, nd).

A young couple visiting from Oklahoma was willing to talk with us as they exited the restaurant. The woman begrudgingly told us, "We initially heard about it because we saw that Rob and Khloe Kardashian had eaten here in an episode of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' and wanted to try it out while on our way back home from our trip to Austin." As fellow “KUWTK” viewers, we knew exactly what she was referring

Imagine going on a drive with your family on a beautiful evening. You drive through small towns with magnificent trees, 100’s of years old, lining the streets. If you drove down that road many of times, you would know that the trees were amazing.

The trees lining Main Street in Lake Mills shouldn’t be cut down because the road detours will be an inconvenience to citizens and businesses, the trees give a natural setting in the downtown area, and the estimated 4.8 million dollars being spent on this project could be used for other funding in the city.

The two artistic style are different but overall both have the same objective to represent the native
