Ooph penn station…that’s not so bad. It won’t be all the time I need to go to NY so definitely doable. And Boston is also easy from there for a drive so have best of both worlds. I can look this up but do you happen to know if that Kingston station is the Acela or is it the slower Amtrak service?

This isn't shocking. Rhode Island isn't just Providence. I've lived here forever and the further north, west and south you get from PVD the more red the state gets. Just because there's more land and less people doesn't mean that those folks aren't going to elect assholes like this guy. I have family that lives in a lot of those parts of the state. I don't talk to my family much...

I’m near the border of Newport and Middletown and it’s a 30 minute drive to the Kingston train station where you can park for free and hop right on Amtrak. Depending where in Middletown Portsmouth the drive can be a little longer than that, particularly some parts of Portsmouth.

There’s an early 7am train out that I take pretty often, it’s great…until you have to walk through Penn Station haha
