New York City

With soaring temperatures, pool parties during the day and the hottest clubs in the country to heat up these hot nights, there’s no place like Las Vegas in the summer. However, having an equal opportunity appreciation for more traditional summertime fare, Sin City Press hit the road for a few days to visit a different, yet equally popular summer destination, scenic and historic New England. During the summer of 2015, we visited three unique travel destinations, and here’s what we found: Located approximately 35 miles from the state capital of Providence, historic and picturesque Newport Rhode Island has played host to many filming locations for both movies and television, and has been the subject of just as many features in print (notably, Theophilus North). Thanks to Ms. Andrea Carneiro, Director of Communications for the Newport Preservation Society, we were able to visit one of the city’s most notable attractions, the Newport Mansions.

It ended up being an area with conflicting claims from a number of countries. Sweden, Holland, France, and England were the countries but the English never knew the Dutch or the Swedish claims in North America. They were very soon had the control of the East Coast of Maine to Georgia. New Jersey had grew a vastly in the end of the 17th century. New York was a bit too big to govern so it was broken up into two sections and the other section was New Jersey. New Jersey’s main resources were Iron and Cattle. It’s major port was Perth

One of the most beautiful stretch of beaches on the East coast of Florida; Hutchinson Island is an island off the coast of the Treasure Coast. It is home to 48.1 square miles and also beautiful, tropical weather year round. It has many other interesting festivities such as the Elliot Museum, Sailfish Point, and many royal golf courses. The bold actions of James Hutchinson were a major influence to the growth of the island and it might not be the same without him!

as a coastal garrison. This historical landmark is a manmade island and was composed of

On a small peninsula, 70 miles southwest of New Orleans, there is a single stretch of road that leads into a fascinating place called Isle de Jean Charles. This is a place where living off the land is a way of life that is quickly becoming impossible to accomplish. The wetlands that used to provide nourishment for the plants and wildlife have now been replaced with the water from the Gulf and neither the freshwater marshes nor the vegetation were able to sustain this intrusion. Where there used to be a forest full of animals for trapping and hunting, there is salty water rippled only by poisoned carcasses of massive oak trees that still stand. The people living on the island are desperate and the Army Corps of Engineers has the power to help. The residents of Isle de Jean Charles deserve to see their children and grandchildren grow up on the land that they call home, but at what cost?

The Dutch in 1609 sent an English sea captain named Henry Hudson, who came to the findings of Delaware Bay and New York on his voyage. Along this land would be referred to New Netherland. 1626 the Dutch would also purchase Manhattan from the Native Indians. In Manhattan the Dutch would establish a territory called New Amsterdam to inhabit, New Amsterdam became the capital of New Netherland. Dutch settlements would have freedom of business and religious practices unlike the strict beliefs and government other colony’s pursed, New Netherland was filled with diversity; in addition would cause different prospective on government and living. A relinquish Peter Stuyvesant, the governor of the colony wouldn’t put up an

To illustrate my point, there are enough beaches in Rhode Island one could go to a different beach everyday for weeks. The cities and towns are stock full of things to do, ranging from parks, historic sites, and places to shop or swim. Only in the Ocean State can one buy a refreshing cup of Del’s lemonade or go to the Bite Me Bait store where you can get anything from keychains or clothing to fishing gear.

In 1749, the government of Virginia awarded a large land grant of half a million acres to the Ohio Company, an example of the domains being too parceled out to those with political connections. The company’s members included the colony’s royal governor, Robert Dinwiddie, and the some of the Virginias society lees, Carters, and the young George Washington. The land grant threatened the region, Indians as well as Pennsylvania land speculators,

Even though the land was given to Sir William Penn by Charles II, it was never recorded or measured off. This presented a problem for William Penn, Native Americans and his sons. In this era the land would have been “measured by how far a man could walk in day and a half” (Graham 288). Penns son Thomas had other plans for the land that his father would have frowned upon. So he hired sprinters to come in and walk the distance of the land but desiring more land than what was already agreed upon, he cheated the Lenape. Thomas was so obsessed with money he could make off the land that he got the Pennsylvanians to run the Indians off the land. The Lenape because of this became bitter and hurt which eventually shattered the tribe.

The change in administrations in 1973 proved to be immensely helpful in finally negotiating a way out of the mess. With the transition to a Republican administration Mr. Reaves had lost most of his influence in Raleigh and found it in his interest to negotiate a resolution regarding his land. In addition, as a side effect of NER’s negotiating for State Park land, it had developed a very good working relationship with the Republican administration in the Department of Interior in Washington, specifically with one of the Assistant Secretaries of Interior, Douglas Wheeler. Wheeler and I worked closely together on several matters and this contact proved to be vital to resolving the Cape Lookout Seashore

In 1626, Peter Minuit led a group of Dutch settlers to the mouth of the Hudson River. Other Dutch colonies had already settled along the Manhattan and higher up the Hudson River. Minuit purchased the island of Manhattan from indians. He called his settlement New Amsterdam. The entire colony was known from then on as new Netherland, which is now modern-day New York.

The Rockaways was once the summer playground for all of Queens. With miles of sandy beach and the amusement parks, the largest one Rockaway's Playland at Beach 98th Street, The Rockaways had everything a summer resort should have. Ever since the amusement parks closed in the 1980's, the Rockaways have gone through a lot of ups and downs. The real estate is now on the up side. The beaches are still crowded during the summer, but the Rockaways became one of the forgotten places as far as development goes. There were plans to put high rise buildings on the grounds of the old park, but the sub soil turned out to be to sandy to support large buildings, so the plan went by the wayside and none of the subsequent idea ever came to fruition. The neighborhoods

On March 4, 1955, the government declared the island to be “surplus property,” and federal agencies were screened to determine if there was a need for it under continued federal use. When there was no affirmative response, the Government Services Administration put the island up for sale. On June 24, 1964, the Secretary of the Interior declared that, under the Historic Sites Act of 1935, he was authorizing the National Park Service to do what it deemed necessary “restore, reconstruct, rehabilitate, preserve, and maintain” the buildings and properties on the island.” Years of neglect followed, and vandals and the forces of nature took a large toll on the Ellis Island buildings.

The society is so simple and nice. The locals openly talk about issues with visitors. They also offer their place to stay and they celebrate a forty-five minute party everyday. It is unlike Miami where there are obnoxious people. No people to impress. No douchebags to confront. No records of arguments created by the locals. No one judges the way they dress. Everyone is happy being themselves on this island. Mile Marker Zero works well as a utopia. The place was built to be free for any outsider who entered. The pleasant atmosphere and relaxing environment causing the citizens stress-free. It’s heavenly enough to be a beautiful place on Earth. The island is free of corruptions. If everyone lived there, we wouldn't have to worry about

Jacquelyn was a modest, simple girl from the Bronx, New York. But that 's all she seemed to be. That 's all she knew she was. Jacquelyn, although known as Jacquelyn on stage, was just the young girl that performed in the local bars and pubs of the Bronx.
