(Brian and ...Aw - Lynchie has just beaten me to it. (Brian and Stewie lived in Quahog, RI.) Yes when I wrote about RI, that was one of my choices. Not much else although I did include songs from the film High Society as it was filmed amongst the mansions of Newport. <br /><br />To quote: "The mansions, or “cottages” as they were called, were originally built by rich plantation owners in order to escape the heat of the Southern summer. Later on rich Northern families started to do the same as the Gilded Age of Vanderbilts and Astors reached its staggeringly opulent zenith. Never had so much money, been made so fast, by so few, and much of this wealth was reflected in the Cliff Walk properties of Newport, RI."<br /><br />Funnily enough I likened Connecticut to Surrey when I wrote about it, as a bit nearer to NYC but you are right with RI too.<br /><br />Another snippet from my post: "The name came about because the Italian explorer Giovanni Verrazzano thought that the large pear-shaped island sitting in Narragansett Bay looked like the Greek island of Rhodes."<br /><br />I will stop now as it seems I'm doing a good impression of being a clever dick!
