May 7: Sunny, Staycation, Moon, Camp, Cliff

Better weather, our newest Readers' Choice poll, and an odd arrest report from Newport are on today's list of 5 Things To Know.

Sunny: Looks like we've put the clouds and rain behind us — for a little while at least. A check of the JohnstonPatch WeatherBug forecast finds sunny skies and temps in the upper 60s for today, but clouds returning with a chance of rain Tuesday.

Staycation: We're kicking off a new Readers' Choice poll this morning, and we want your ideas for the best spot for a 'stay-cation' in the area.

Moon: Did you go outside Saturday night to see the Super Moon? Upload your photos and show off your work to our readers.

Camp: There are only about six weeks left to the school year — the perfect time to register the kids for summer day camp run by the Johnston Parks and Recreation Department. Fees are $425 per child for six weeks, or $145 per week.

Cliff: We found this one in the OMG PD archives from 2011: Seems that a couple of tourists were caught by Newport Police trying to enjoy the Cliff Walk in Newport a little too enthusiastically. Police reported that the Woonsocket man and Providence woman were found semi-clothed, and needed several warnings to get dressed again.
