Yep, nice area.
Newport may attract some wealthy people but they get mostly tourists now. Newport does have a history of protecting those with big money. Doris Duke killed her boy friend Eduardo Tirella by running over him. She got away with it. It cost her some $$$.

Great bars full of local trades people that serve as day-slaves to the Newport crowd. Talk about your hate to go to work bunch! My parents got hooked on the area during America’s Cup, in the late 70’s. I haven’t been there since the late 80’s.
Love it. Especially the 2nd libtard getting put in the cruiser.
Went there with some buddies for the America's Cup scene in 80 or 83, can't remember now and my T shirt is long gone. Been back for a wedding and another sightseeing visit - had some lunch and drinks at The Castle Hill Inn.

I really wanted to see the blonde tased.
It may be a different zip code, but that's a good thing.
I had a friend that would buy junk MGB's and inventory them by the dozens. Every fall, winter, and spring, he restored those convertible MGB's. He would drive one into town on Memorial Day, and again on 4th of July, and again just before Labor Day. He would sell them on the spot for outrageous prices. Muffy just had to have her Candy Apple Red Roadster! Daddy would always give Muffy what she wanted. Over the years 2000 to 2010, he sold more than 30 cars that way.
Having just finished watching the final 6 hours of CBS news coverage of election night 2016, I agree...
That was hilarious. “I’m an ay geee! I’m an ay geee! But I’m an ay geeeeee! I’m an ay geee!”
The result of participation trophies and time-outs.
Wow. Loved it. Compliments to the officers for keeping ther cool.
