I was playing the video game Uncharted 4 & learned that Aquidneck Island has a history with pirates! They mentioned specifically Thomas Tew in the game. So of course I had to start looking it up online. I came across this article and found it really interesting!

But I will echo what others say and talk to librarians and even reach out to the Newport Historical Society. I would have done this myself but I don't live in the US anymore. I'd love to hear anything you find out!

Barrington is really nice. I know the people who were brought up in the Boston area can't afford the property prices in their own hometown, they move to RI for better prices. That has been happening since the 70s during the computer boom, they bought all along the border towns of RI. My cousin's son who works in Boston just bought a new home in the Foxborough area(better get your Patriots gear). I live close by too 146 so it's a lot easier to get to Providence or Worcester area. If you do work from home then you can pick the place to live. If you know anyone in the area call them up and spend the weekend at close by Hotel in whatever state/town you choose, go to different ones. Good Luck with your search.

RI is about the same as anywhere else for finding friends/love.

You can try MeetUp, clubs, volunteering, classes, and/or sport/gym. Or church, if that’s your thing. Hang out at coffee shops or book stores. You could start a singles club.

It’s interesting to ask married people where they met. Seems like the most common answer is either online dating sites or work.
