This past weekend “Straight Outta Compton,” the new film profiling the rise and fall of seminal late-80s hip hop outfit N.W.A., debuted at number one at the box office with a haul of $56.1 million, setting a record as the highest grossing opening weekend for a biopic. Little Compton, a rural farming town in Rhode Island, has been a summer blockbuster for generations. Nestled on the Massachusetts border with beaches on the Sakonnet River and Atlantic Ocean, the quiet community offers residents and visitors a summer escape comparable to what one might find on the far east end of Long Island.
