It was NOWHERE near as bad as everyone has made it out to be.The construction company I work for has half a dozen major jobs within a mile of the country club.Traffic was nuthin!I've seen it worse on a regular Summer Saturday night!
As far as fishing is concerned the only obstruction was no parking at Brenton Pt.Big deal.The money pumped into Newport in this one week more than makes up for what has been a dismal season for the city of Newport and Aquidneck Island as a whole.
We all like our little "welcome to Newport,now go home!" bumper stickers.Be careful what you wish for.Ask those who know what it was like after the Navy pulled out.What's left now of the Navy is miniscule compared to its pre-60s height.Newport and the Island got lucky and with margeting made it a MAJOR tourist destination.If the tourism dies so does this island.
So in conclusion quit yer bitchin' it just wasn't that bad!
And btw if you want to see REAL traffic go to one of 36 Nascar races,the Superbowl or a World Series game.Now that's traffic!
