My mother grew up there.
When I was growing up, we’d sometimes visit my aunt and uncle and cousins at their Narragansett house. It’s the only place I really feel like I’ve been to in Rhode Island, although once our aunt took us to a famous fancy restaurant on the water in Newport, and my cousin’s memorial service was in an old church in Wickford.
This Blossom Dearie song often gets stuck in my head:
Been there?: Yes
Route 153 
I can see where that tune might get stuck in one’s head… maybe I shouldn’t have listened to it right before bed.
I’ve never heard of Narragansett so googled it, and was delighted to discover that it has a Batmobile. Until I found out that it’s actually a Blood Alcohol.Testing mobile, which doesn’t look anything like the thing Batman drove.
Wow. I just looked that up. Thanks for the warning. The other Batmobile is cooler.
Why isn’t Rhode Island an island?
Good question. Wikipedia has this to say about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhode_Island
