Drivers license and car registration when moving out of RI

I'm moving to GA and I am a bit confused about the license and car registration. Is there anything I need to do? Sorry, new to this...

For the license, I need to make sure the record is clean before transfer, is there anything else?

By the way, what about Ezpass, on my way to GA, I may have driven past several Ezpass scanners and forgot to put out the transponder. Do I need to pay those tolls before transferring my license? I am worried that the toll will come in by mail and I will not be there to get it anymore...

Thanks!

Moving to Rhode Island??

Hi all!
I am a 2nd year teacher currently in central PA and my husband is getting his doctorate in Physical Therapy (will be finished May 2026). We are thinking about moving to Rhode Island once he graduates. What are your tips, suggestions, how is it for these professions salary-wise and atmosphere, etc? Love New England, we’ve traveled all over the states and plan to visit RI before moving officially, but any locations that are good for teaching specifically? Anything helps :) TIA!!

Ballot: Sports Betting?

Like many people, I enjoy sports betting. For the last couple years, the only sports betting app that’s legal to use in RI is Sportsbook RI and it’s absolutely terrible. I was hoping to see RI allow popular sports books like DraftKings, FanDuel, Bally’s (especially since their casino is in RI), Fanatics, MGM, etc. legalized to use in the state. I wasn’t sure if this was something we would see on the state voting ballot. Any idea of this something we may see in the future?

Registering trailer with wife’s vehicle

One of the things required to register a trailer in RI is proof of insurance. The only problem is that the car pulling the trailer is in my wife’s name. Can I register even though the car is registered solely to her? My name is on the insurance card.

What is the going rate for bottle gas?

Buying a house that is heated with bottle gas. Also has a gas range and water heater (tankless), but I have no experience with this heating source. I tried going to a few providers sites, but of course they all want you to call or fill out a form to see their rates.

Does anyone here have bottle gas for their home and if so, can you share what you pay and how it's billed? Is it per gallon?

Thanks!

Toddler/kid restaurants?

Are there any restaurants that are fun or unique that a toddler would enjoy more than the average restaurant. I'm not talking about Chuck E Cheese.

Question for RI

Current non RI but we are thinking to move to RI for safety after the election results. We don’t live in a what you would categorize as a safe state. RI is ranked number 1 for diversity fairness. Would you all agree that this is still the case? Any helpful tips on places that are safe, affordable to live and still have a small town vibe?

DMV Registration Question

Hoping some local folks can help. I’m looking into buying an old Chevy truck (1966) from Mass.

The current owner does not have any registration paperwork for the truck.

I know there used to be a way to register in Vermont and then transfer but I understand that has since changed.

Is there any way to register the vehicle without prior proof of ownership?

RI's first professional soccer team is in the conference finals in their first season

First ever season and not only have we made it to the playoffs but we have made it to the conference finals. The community is high and the watch party at the guild last night was insane. It feels truly amazing to have this club in our community and it definitely represents this state well.

Play/eat with kids

Is there any type of indoor play space for kids that also has lunch? Not thinking about a McDonald’s type place, more like the R1 indoor karting place but that would be good for a 4 year old
