       CHECKING THE NEIGHBORHOOD!


     Our Travelworld tour of New England took
us into Newport, RI Friday.
      As regular visitors to the Wildwoods in
New Jersey we're used to seeing beach front
properties. But you won't find motels or
apartments for rent along the shore in Newport.
       This area is famous for all the private
mansions that dot the landscape!
        You might find one for sale here or there
but I suspect they'd be a bit out of our price
range!
         We did manage to visit one but even
that required an admission fee,
          It's called "the Breakers," the one time
"Summer Cottage: of the Vanderbilt family!
There are more rooms in the place then some
communities have homes!
           It's so great to have a classic mansion
like this preserved for the public. If it were
in Wilkes-Barre it probably would have been
converted into an apartment house years ago!
           Newport is a great place to visit but I
wouldn't want to live there. Actually I couldn't
afford to live there!
            Hope you like the photos and that all
your NEWS is good!
