🇺🇸 Providence vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Providence at the head of Narragansett Bay is Rhode Island's capital and Brown University's city. The bay provides significant maritime influence while the city sits at the inner bay where some continental characteristics emerge. WaterFire events on the Providence River demonstrate the city's relationship with its water channels.

San Francisco's climate is shaped by its position on a peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. The coastal fog (Karl the Fog) rolls in through the Golden Gate each summer afternoon, keeping temperatures mild year-round. The city has dramatically different microclimates — the Sunset District fog-bound while the Mission basks in sun on the same day.
