Newport, Rhode Island is amazing, from the bridge that carries you over to the beautiful water thatlies beneath. It was breathtaking. The first glimpse of the bridg hypnotized me. As the car began to climb I felt like I was on a rler coaster as it climbs up the steep hill then drops you to the bottom. Unlike a roller coaaster there was no drop, just theother side of the bridge and miles of beautiful blue water and gorgeous homes. Very nice place.

I grew up in Rhode Island, in the 70's. The Newport Bridge is the "new" bridge. The Jamestown bridge was the very rickety one that always scared me. I have heard that it has recently been rebuilt. It's about time! I think the opening sequence of the old soap opera "Dark Shadows" uses footage of Newport. I think it's the mansion called "The Breakers". Lots of money and mansions in Newport!

yea,they did.the new one's high instead of rickety. so it's still scary.but at least it's not as soon as you drive over the hump grid makes you slide scary.

Ya I guess things are different when you live there. It's a great place to visit. The taxes in my part of CT are obscene too.
