In a move that’s left many in disbelief, the Por In a move that’s left many in disbelief, the Portsmouth Portuguese American Citizens Club is reopening Monday—just eight days after a staircase collapse at the venue killed a 15-year-old girl and critically injured another teen, according to a report by WPRI 12 Adding to the shock, the reopening will take place on the same day as the memorial service for Kelly Nevitt, the Portsmouth High School freshman who was killed when the concrete landing of a 14-foot staircase gave way during a graduation party on June 7. The collapse injured four others, including 17-year-old Aaron Delgado, who remains in critical condition in the ICU at Rhode Island Hospital. The club, which has been closed since the incident, announced the reopening in an email to members over the weekend. The email, obtained by WPRI 12, said a meeting would be scheduled “in the near future” to discuss what happened and answer questions. The same email reminded members to “be mindful and respectful of the memorial at the Flagpole” when visiting the reopened club and asked them to park away from it to leave space for mourners. The timing has drawn outrage and disbelief from members of the Portsmouth community, where grief is still raw and support for the victims continues to pour in. A GoFundMe for Nevitt’s funeral expenses has raised more than $140,000, while a separate fundraiser for Delgado’s recovery has surpassed $50,000. Nevitt’s memorial service will be held Monday at 2 p.m. at Green Valley Country Club in Portsmouth. Donations in her memory may be made to the @newportchildrenstheatre. Meanwhile, the club where her life was cut short will be back in operation—business as usual. #portsmouthri #portsmouthstrong #newportbuzz

Broadway & Marlborough, 1920. We’ve missed doin Broadway & Marlborough, 1920. We’ve missed doing these—Newport Time Warp is back, and we’re ready to rewind. 
What looks like just another Newport intersection today was once a hub of leather, laundry, and liniment. Directly across the street stood Carlton B. Lawton’s Harness Company, run by Henry Lawton, a local craftsman whose family had been working with leather in Newport for generations. According to old city directories, the business—and the building—were passed down to Henry from his father, George Lawton, who was also a harness maker. Next door was a tire dealer, followed by a modest laundromat. But here’s the detail we love—look at the sliver of a building on the far left edge of the photo. It’s still there. It used to house Downing Bros. Pharmacy, a turn-of-the-century drugstore that sold everything from perfume to patent medicine. These days, it’s a tattoo shop—a modern twist in a very old frame. Change is constant in Newport—but history still lingers in the corners. #newportri #newporttimewarp #newportbuzz #rhodeisland
