Ann & Hope

Ann & Hope is a Rhode Island-based retailer that pioneered practices now common in modern big box stores. Named after the ship Ann and Hope, which was lost at sea off Block Island, Rhode Island in 1806, the store operated from 1953 to 2001 in the Northeastern United States. Currently the company operates a small chain of home fashion outlets, garden outlets, and dollar outlets in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

History

Early years

Ann & Hope was founded by Martin Chase, who was born in 1906 in Kiev, Ukraine, and moved with his family to Providence, Rhode Island, at age six. He was the only one of six sons not to work in his father's automobile repair business. Instead, when he was 20, he got a job working at a store called Fintex. After Fintex closed its doors in 1929, Chase worked at Howard's Clothes until 1933. Then he started Chase Clothing, where he undersold other area clothing stores by reducing overhead: for example he did not offer alterations and used inexpensive store fixtures.

You Give Love A Bad Name

by: Jon B.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darlin', you give love a bad name
Fuck you
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free
Whoa, you're a loaded gun
Yeah, whoa, there's nowhere to run
No one can save you
The damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your games
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
You paint that smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
You're very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Whoa, you're a loaded gun
Whoa, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your games
You give love a bad name
You give love
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darlin', you give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your games
You give love a bad name
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your games
You give love a bad name
