Drugs. It’s always drugs. Drugs lead people to go dumb/crazy shit. People spend all their money on drugs and their homes start falling apart. Claremont has a similar reputation. Newport is smaller, so it gets less attention than Claremont.

Are you moving within state or from out of state? What brings you to Newport? I’m genuinely curious, as most Granite Staters who don’t live in the area forget Newport exists. It gets kind crummy reputation, though, like Claremont, it could be a really great place to live. I love the green in Newport.

You’re better off going to Claremont, Lebanon area, or New London for food. Salt Hill is good for getting drinks and apps, but I find their menu uninspiring and their service lackluster. Old Courthouse is decent, but not easy to find even if you know where it is. Mediocre pizza and Chinese restaurants.

Newport has a Shaw’s as their grocery store. Some people love it, but most will drive the 10-15 minutes to Market Basket or Hannaford in Claremont.

You’ll also have to go to Claremont, West Lebanon, or Keene for most of your shopping and entertainment needs. Check out Runnings in Claremont. I don’t know if you’re the clientele, but if you are, you will fall in love. Movie theaters in Claremont, Springfield VT, Keene, Lebanon, and Hanover.
