Drivers, pump the brakes—Big Brother’s officia Drivers, pump the brakes—Big Brother’s officially moved into Newport! The city is cracking down hard with new speed cameras popping up across town, the first one is already keeping a watchful eye on Ruggles Avenue near Shields Street. But here’s the kicker: City Manager Colin Kennedy didn’t even bother to check with the council before slapping this camera in place. Talk about going rogue! "This is just another example of the city manager acting unilaterally without consulting the people elected to represent this city," said 3rd Ward Councilor David Carlin. "Decisions like these should be made with input from the council and the community, not by one person playing traffic cop." While officials are spinning the cameras as a “safety measure,” critics smell something fishy. Could this be a cash grab disguised as concern? One thing’s for sure—if you’re caught speeding, you’ll be getting a fine in the mail faster than Colin Kennedy can ignore proper procedure. This is just like two weeks ago when the City Council publicly lambasted Kennedy for brazenly putting up an unauthorized stop sign on The Point without bothering to get their approval. Maybe Newport’s rookie city manager should slow his own roll before making any more solo moves. Leadership 101, Colin—ever heard of it?

Two outstanding Aquidneck Island high school senio Two outstanding Aquidneck Island high school seniors, Ashley Susan Murphy of Portsmouth and Landon Brentley Resendes of Middletown, have been selected to represent our state at the 63rd United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP) in Washington, D.C., March 1–8, 2025! 🇺🇸✨ Murphy and Resendes will join 102 other students nationwide for a week immersed in the workings of the federal government. From meeting senators, cabinet officials, and a Supreme Court justice to exploring public service, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Each delegate will also receive a $10,000 scholarship. Murphy, a senior at Portsmouth High School, is heavily involved in civic activities. She serves as a page at the Rhode Island House of Representatives and as the student liaison for the Governor’s Student Civics Liaison Program, where she helps amplify youth voices in government. At her school, Murphy founded the Politics Club, leads the Model United Nations team, and is treasurer of the Future Business Leaders of America. She plans to study government and law in college. Resendes, a senior at Middletown High School, is the student body president and the student representative to the Middletown School Committee, where he advocates for his peers. He co-founded the school’s Computer Science Club, launched a digital version of the school newspaper, and started “Tech Time with Seniors,” a program offering tech support to older residents. Resendes plans to pursue a law degree and hopes to one day run for public office. The USSYP is guided by a Senate Advisory Committee, which includes prominent lawmakers from both parties. For Murphy and Resendes, the experience will provide a deeper understanding of government and public service. #ussenate #portsmouthri #middletownri #newportbuzz #rhodeisland #jackreed #sheldonwhitehouse
Two rookie Rhode Island State Troopers have been a Two rookie Rhode Island State Troopers have been axed after posting a shocking Snapchat video of a pedestrian’s tragic death on I-95—while laughing in the background. The disturbing footage, captured in October, shows 21-year-old Alex Montesino getting struck and killed by a car. One of the troopers filmed the fatal incident on a cell phone, and the video was later shared on the social media platform Snapchat, sparking outrage. “These recently hired troopers displayed such poor judgment and lacked empathy for this family’s tragedy,” said Col. Darnell Weaver, superintendent of the Rhode Island State Police. “They are no longer employed by the state police, and we will not comment further as they are not employed by the Division.” The troopers, who graduated from the 2024 academy class, were fired for violating state police rules and policies, according to officials. #rhodeisland #risp #police #newportbuzz
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, The Preser In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, The Preservation Society of Newport County will open the doors of two of its most iconic Gilded Age mansions free of charge on Monday, January 20. The Breakers and Marble House, both designated as National Historic Landmarks and originally built by the Vanderbilt family, will welcome visitors from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the final admission at 4 p.m. While this special offer provides access to the main areas of both estates, it does not include specialty tours such as The Breakers Third Floor Preservation in Progress or Beneath The Breakers. Guests should also be prepared for potential wait times, as the number of visitors permitted inside each property at a given time is limited for preservation and safety purposes. #newportmansions #newportbuzz #gildedage #mlk #thebreakers #marblehouse

The Old Canteen, a cherished cornerstone of Rhode The Old Canteen, a cherished cornerstone of Rhode Island’s dining history, is serving its final meals this weekend, marking the end of an era for generations of locals and visitors who cherished its old-world charm. Audrain’s Heritage Restaurant Group, which purchased the storied establishment, confirmed the closure to The Providence Journal. Nestled in Providence’s “Historic Federal Hill,” The Old Canteen has been a culinary institution since 1956, when Joseph Marzilli opened its doors. Over the decades, the restaurant became synonymous with classic Italian-American cuisine, offering diners a taste of tradition in its signature pink dining room. For nearly seven decades, families gathered here for special occasions, politicians brokered deals over veal parmesan, and couples toasted milestones with glasses of Chianti. It was a place where memories were made—and where time seemed to stand still. But now, the lights will dim for good. Wally’s Wieners, a popular hot dog and smashburger spot with two locations in Newport, will take its place. The second floor will host The Copper Club, a concept borrowed from Wally’s second-floor space on Lower Thames in Newport. Both are expected to open by March. Federal Hill, once the heart of Providence’s Italian-American community, has seen its share of change. But the loss of The Old Canteen feels particularly poignant, as it symbolizes the vanishing of a simpler, more authentic era. The restaurant’s closure marks the final chapter in a 69-year story. As we bid farewell to The Old Canteen, we also say goodbye to a piece of Providence’s heart. Audrain’s Heritage Restaurant Group, led by Nick Schorsch, has been expanding since relocating to Newport from New York City over a decade ago. Its holdings include Newport Craft Beer, La Forge Restaurant, Brick Alley Pub, Flo’s Clam Shacks, The Reef, The Red Parrot, and more. The Old Canteen appears to be their first acquisition off Aquidneck Island. #audrain #providenceri #federalhill #rhodeisland #newportbuzz #providence
