Good lord the newport folks are whiners. They cant handle some traffic for a few days during a nice event.

Heh. I hope they have footage on the news tonight. Then you'll understand. And unless they figure out how to do things better, you definitely will Sunday morning if you're parking in Middletown at St. George's. You'll be "parked" conservatively 4 miles before you park to get on the bus.
Good for the economy is highly relative, I bet business is slow at many businesses because of the traffic. Anyone who tries to come to the SWE from the West probably isn't going to make it, they're going to give up, turn around, and go home due to the traffic.
Some old couple actually parked in my driveway today since they didn't want to park at St. George's. I wasn't home at the time they arrived otherwise it NEVER would have happened. If that vehicle is in my driveway again tomorrow when I get home from work I'm going to have a field day with some dead eels. I doubt they'll try again though after the talking to they got when I saw them trespassing across the yard on their way back to their Ford Escape. I'm sure they didn't hear language like that anywhere on the golf course. Hopefully I ruined their day in Newport.
If tourists and visitors had an ounce of respect I suspect "locals" wouldn't get so ticked off.
