It used to be the official nickname of the state, before someone came up with "The Ocean State" in the 70s.

"Block" really bugs me. Like let's go to Block.

Or "the Block".

It's just not right.

How about when people refer to it as "the pork chop". Is it so hard to say Block Island?

I hate places with names too big to fit on a t-shirt, or places with three initial abbreviations - ruins the aesthetic of my stickers.
