Some are uniquely Rhode Island images that make all Rhode Islanders smile and bring fond memories to the minds of those who have moved on — the Big Blue Bug, the dancing cop, Del's, Mr. Potato Head. Others are a bit more cringe-worthy — a felonious mayor, gigantic potholes, a greasy-haired DJ famous for ... what, exactly?
