Letter: Protect Little Compton, a rare place of quiet beauty

Posted

To the editor:

At a time when issues of land conservation and the right of residents to control commercial aggression in their residential communities are threatened across our country, we implore the members of the Little Compton Town Council to stand firm and keep corporate profit-making out of our town.

What benefit could a large, loud, entertainment center run by outsiders bring to Little Compton? The town is known across the state as a singular place of rural beauty and peace. Such places grow fewer with every passing year.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
