I used to live in Newport, RI before moving to Seattle in Jan 1985.
things where a <little> better there than providence. There were
two bars that were semi active especially during the summer months.

During the summer, Newport does come alive with the tourists and the  
crowd does have quite a few members whose IQ's are higher than the 
average of 50 which is found elsewhere in the state. Beside the bars,
there are other crusing areas such as Banaster's Wharf, First Beach,
among others. 

I would say that Newport is quite a bit more intellegent and intellectual
than Providence.

Good luck!!!
