a woman cut me off at a red light this morning. i didn't have time to honk but jammed on my brakes and had my hands on my head in disbelief as she finished her turn.

she looked at me and gave me the finger.

don't jinx us you twat! 😉

woot! my town doesn't make the list.

if i had the money.

they're talking about after sea levels rise

my brother used throw on his scuba gear and dive for them near scarborough beach.

fair enough. my sense was that OP is looking for a spot to park until the parking lots open. can you park along the wall in the summer?

i'm an old

not sure what you mean.

at 6am?

whatever it is, double it.

narragansett pier (where the shops are)

if you're worried about revealing your personal number, get a google voice number, download the app and text through that.

that's the dream. unfortunately, an expensive one that we're a few years away from pulling the trigger on. but we live on a large pond and a basement kitchen would be 30 feet from it. add a sliding door and a terrace and you eat waterside during the warmer months.

i have an unfinished, walkout basement. i'm considering moving my kitchen there when we renovate because it opens out onto a part of my property with really nice views.

this is a great answer depending on how much time you have and what time if year you're traveling. eg, Two nights in Boston, then take the train to Westerly, RI. If it's summer(ish), enjoy the RI coastline. It's better than Connecticut's. Hop back on the train (or Uber) to Mystic or Stonington for a night or two, continue on to New Haven and then final stop NYC.

it's hard to get 40 minutes from anything in RI. rural rhode island is very different than being rural in a big state. eg, i live in a rural area and am 35 minutes north to providence and 35 minutes east to the beach.

maybe john h chafee nature preserve. or what about arcadia? there are various open areas / picnic areas as well as cozy spots in the woods.

i was surprised. narragansett rentals often go by the school year cause people can make bank renting homes in the summertime.

agreed

i just hopped on zillow and see a bunch of options. here's one for $1500 in narragansett (a beach town): https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/109-Ninigret-Rd-B-Narragansett-RI-02882/2100260113_zpid/

do you get that from an eviction history? not trying to be difficult. just thinking of it like a hiring. eg, 15 people come see your apartment, you choose your top 3 candidates and do background checks and previous landlord references for them.

is a landlord allowed to get references from previous landlords like employers get references for potential employees? if so, would that abate your concerns?

if you're a water person, i'd expand your search into westerly, ri. the rhode island beaches are better than connecticut and it faces the open ocean so you get actual waves. westerly is about 20 minutes from new london and is a decent size town with bars and restaurants.

otherwise, this area of connecticut gets rural pretty quick as you head inland. if living on a bit of land in the woods is your thing, you've got that as an option as well.

narragansett has a lovely beach but doesn't have the scene OP seems to be looking for. eg, beach bars.
