The Nita Regnier Memoir Writing Group Debuts Their Stories
Very good. I can’t go to Newport, RI anymore, to old. I have been going to New Port for 59 yrs. Husband grew up there, Just love ❤️ it. Thank you.
This is an outstanding overview of the fascinating story of Lowell's Boat Shop, beginning in medieval Europe. It covers every main point perfectly. Great job. Great resource for any visitor or volunteer at the Shop. Or anyone who loves boats!
interesting history. I was an intern at small museum on Nantucket Island when i was a teenager, and wished I had researched more about their surf dory history.
There are still primates in North America. Central America is part of North America and there is still primates there and there are also still primates in Mexico. The living native primates in Mexico and Central America are new world monkeys. And there are Some macaques (only 1) species in Europe. This means nonhuman primates are in every continent except Australia and Antarctica.
I hope to get to visit this place👍
Great job loved it.
Nice presentation .
Too bad Lynwood Hall in Pennsylvania wouldn't be preserved as beautiful as the Breakers . We will never see such elegant living like this again .
Is it true Donald J .Trump purchased the Breakers to make it a Casino . Hope not because he will ruin a beautiful historic relic .
You should visit the International Tennis Hall of Fame A Stanford White incredible building and some of the last Grass Tennis Courts left in America. Many greats enshrined in the Wonderful museum " The Casino " is stunning.
Interesting to see how this house now functions with relation to the visiting public. One minor correction; the house is modeled on a Genovese palazzo not piazza. A piazza is an outdoor space.
Great tour. Compliments on tree decor as it matches the personality of this great house. Have been there in summer many times. Thank you.
Trees are over decorated. At bit of greenery would be nice.
Looks tacky, tbh. Why are the lights and the decorated trees so GARISH? It looks like you just 'dialed it in'. The white lights are nice tho.
Beautiful !
Beautiful !
We so enjoyed our many trips to Newport over the years! When first visiting in the very early 70’s there was still an elderly woman still in residence on the 2nd floor, so there was no visitation there like today. The woman we were told was in her 90’s and quite possibly could have been the Countess! It was also a terribly rainy day, and we were waved forward and permitted to park our little VW beetle right at the front door! It was such fun as newlyweds to pretend we were arriving at “our home”!
I am in love with Newport
Right at the beginning the lecturer uses the word "Piazza" (plaza or square) instead of "Palazzo" - Palace. He meant Palazzo.
I worked for Carolyn Burford Skelly, of Skelly Oil, back in 1983 and 1984. I was a young Naval Officers Wife, my husband was attending The Naval SWO school. She owned Boire Dore Narragansett Avenue in Newport. What a experience! We attended the New York Yacht club celebration in Newport, RI when Dennis Connors won the Americas Cup in 1984!
I enjoy the Breakers in Palm Beach. Never visited Breakers in New Port. Bet it is lovely at Christmas.
I used to live a couple of hours away from the Biltmore House and we loved taking the Holiday tour..I would love to visit the Breakers who knows maybe one day I will..
And now the Vanderbilt fortune is done, gone and wasted away by the heirs...
The Rothschild mafia and federal reserve killed it.....there were no taxes back then.. then the war broke out and the scam for the need to pay taxes they didnt have the opportunity to have tax shelters like the rich people do today with off shore accounts hiding money in the Cayman Islands.
Great video - can't wait to be able to walk around campus again!
Superb content! 😇 I I think you'd like my friends content ---> #505CigarReviewShow 🤩
sorry to say, you've got a lot of my money at that shop! always a joy to browse there.

I attended the talk and later made these for my family. They were delicious!
