The Newport area on the toe-end of Rhode Island is quite lovely to look
at, and if you want to feel affluent, drive along Ocean Avenue and Bellevue
and look at the homes and mansions (the sign even calls them that) many
of whom all enjoy ocean views.
Not quite a city sign, but a sign along the harbor is a pretty good
second.
And given we took a sign of the harbor sign, it seemed only fair
to show the harbor, too.
The shopping area is just nifty, with cobble-stoned streets (nice
to look at, a bit tougher to drive on).
And just to mix it up, the shops are built in a variety of styles.
And they accept MasterCard.
Ford Adams is shoved into the hill on the edge of the harbor. Clever
AND strategic.
If you've got a few million to spend, there's some lovely homes
for sale in the mansion district.
