I am in the U.S. Coast Guard and I am going to be stationed in Newport. I will be heading out on Fri. Anything I should know ahead of time? It looks like a nice state and a welcome change. So please fill me in on any and all good info. Such as, Pubs, ranges, good places to eat, etc. Thanks.

Newport? Dang! if you are single Newport is a summer resort-lots of college girls and clubs, etc. A little quiet in the winter, but you are a hop, skip, and a jump from URI and all it's party spots.
You'll be busy as hell when boating season starts, and year 'round, of course, Narragansett Bay is busy, as is the Atlantic. We are having a shoot April 23, check out the post a few down from this "Rattle Battle". Even if you don't have shooting iron, come on out, we'll share....... Please feel free to ask us anything specific or general. I'm sure the regulars will be around shortly, we have a few members out that way...... and........ Welcome to RI! ps if you have firearms there is no registration required. CCW's aren't too easy to get, but we have no AW bans, etc. There is a 7 day wait for everything, though. |

Welcome to RI, Newport is great especially summer. Christie's is the place to eat and hang out on dock in summer, as far as ranges still looking myself.

There is nothing finer than a summer day in Newport.
Nothing hotter than the chicks in Newport on a summer night. One thing you'll find is the nightclubs are expensive and they close early (1 AM). Thames St. at 1 AM looks like Mardi Gras. |
