(Westerly, RI) Several Rhode Island airports are dealing with the problem of stubborn runway obstructions from neighboring properties. One of the facilities, Westerly State Airport, is getting good news about this issue. The Westerly Sun reports a Superior Court judge has ruled that the state Department of Transportation was OK to claim property near the airport through eminent domain in order to clear trees. Because they have not been cleared, the Rhode Island Airport Corporation has been forced to shorten Westerly s runways. The RIAC says it has had to take similar action in Newport because efforts to secure an easement from a homeowner failed.

Several Rhode Island food truck operators are all about giving back this holiday season.
Just before Santa arrived Christmas Eve, Steve Gilman parked in a hotel parking lot in Warwick, Rhode Island to offer coffee, cookies and barbecues fare to the homeless trying to survive COVID-19, according to a Providence Journal report.
Gilman, who runs Poppy s Waffles, delivered dozens of cupcakes as well that he made in his food truck, as well as hot beverages from the Presto Strange O food truck.
The effort was organized with the assistance of FoodTrucksIn.com, an online site run by Eric Weiner that helps foodies find local food truck fare.
