The Neon Is The Message


The place to find the most headlines per square inch in downtown Tuesday was outside Moka on Orange Street. There was parked Kate Iaquinto’s Dodge Neon in all its bumper-sticker-plastered glory. (The rear view offers just some of the messages.) Iaquinto (shown on a break) tries to grab a spot out front when her barista shift at Moka starts at 6 a.m. Iaquinto, 23, is a wildlife biology grad from the University of Rhode Island. She plans to return to Rhode Island this summer for a seasonal shore-bird management job working with endangered piping plovers and least terns. People do read her car, she said. I catch people looking at it three times a day.”
