If you grew up in Rhode Island or spent any time near Warwick between 1979 and the mid-2000s, there’s a good chance we’ve already met. Maybe it was under the neon lights. Maybe it was while a favorite song played over a dozen video screens. For 27 years, I was the man behind Barry’s Video Dance Club. I spent nearly three decades watching this community grow, change, and celebrate. I saw people meet on that dance floor, get married, and eventually start families of their own.
