What's Up Today: June 24 - What's Up Newp

Good Morning, today is Friday, June 24.

🌊 The calendar barely turned from spring to summer, but the climate surely began heating up in Rhode Island’s very competitive Democratic primary for governor. A television as by Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea, among the gubernatorial candidates, generated some quick retorts from Gov. Dan McKee and Helena Buonanno Foulkes, another of the gubernatorial candidates.

🌊 Lila Delman Compass yesterday announced the historic sale of 339 Ocean Avenue Lot A in Newport for $11,000,000. According to data maintained by the Rhode Island Statewide MLS, this marks the highest land sale ever recorded in Newport County.

🌊 Self-guided walking tours of private gardens in Newport return this weekend with the June Secret Garden Tours.

🌊 Newport Pride weekend kicks off today. We recently caught up with Sean O’Connor, Managing Director of Newport Pride, to learn more about the festivities.
