 Narragansett Pier | Narragansett Beach is Where I Like to Be
When the weather is 70 degrees on a spring Rhode Island day, the locals come out in hordes to their favorite water spots.  And I do not mean drinking holes!  No here in RI one of our favorite locations is Narragansett Pier leading to Narragansett beach.
A mile boardwalk path lines the magnificent Atlantic Ocean here and our 'infamous' beach we like to keep to ourselves...but unfortunately the word has gotten out...it is the place to be.

Are You Looking to Buy a Home in Narragansett RI?  
OMG...It is the Orange stickers again in Narragansett RI and why would this be of concern to a buyer looking for a Narragansett primary residence or an investment home?  Well these 'orange stickers' placed on homes by the police are the Scarlet Letter 'A' (orange letter 'A') which denotes the home is an active party home.  It means the home occupants have violated town ordinances and the owner has been probably levied a fine. With many URI students renting off campus in Narragansett, it is a two edged sword here- … (8 comments)
