I've been trying to figure out if I knew any providences of Canada, and I can't think of any.

But how many roads can you think of that have - or had - a state "& Pacific"?

Or a state "Central"?

You missed it, SRVfan. The only Providence I can think of is in Rhode Island, but there probably are some in Canada . . .
