New England Legends – The Macaroni Riots

from Para-X Radio · host neghostproject

Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to the Federal Hill section of Providence, Rhode Island, to witness the Macaroni Riots. Back in 1914 a series of riots took place when the price of macaroni and other foods skyrocketed due to an economic downturn and the outbreak of World War I. Though the name of the riots is funny, the violent riots were not. This story feels like it could be ripped out of today’s headlines.
