Resonance rings are remarkable for the idiosyncrasies of their shapes, relative bar orientations, and star formation characteristics. However, there has been little investigation of the full meaning of these idiosyncrasies. Here I resurrect earlier observations of the distribution of HII regions in early-type barred galaxies and highlight how the distribution of star formation in resonance rings likely connects to periodic orbit shapes but, surprisingly, not to bar strength. I also discuss recent HST observations of two dissimilar resonance ring galaxies, NGC 3081 and NGC 4622.
