Winter 2023 has been one of the warmest on record. While some say it won’t last and we’re having a false start to Spring, we should enjoy the mild temperatures. So whether false Spring, or true Spring, warm weather urges us to get outside. Even if it simply means leaving the house to run errands or go shopping, take advantage of elevated temperatures and get moving! Smithfield, Rhode Island is a great town to do both. From an entire outdoor shopping center, to hidden gems, you can find places you’re looking for and more, all within close proximity of each other.
