✨ #ThrowbackThursday – Lighting Up Grant’s Block Park! ✨
F&S Electric, Inc. is proud to have played a role in the revitalization of Grant’s Block Park, located at the corner of Westminster and Union Streets in downtown Providence, RI. Completed in May 2024, this transformation—led by Cornish Associates with design collaboration from Ryan Associates, Union Studio Architects, and Landscape Creations—has turned this space into a welcoming community hub.
Our team enhanced the park’s atmosphere with expertly installed overhead string lighting and perimeter lighting, creating a warm and inviting glow that encourages people to gather, stroll, and relax—day or night. 💡🌆

Consistently delicious, oberlin_pvd never disappoints! Perfect spot to just sit at the bar for a few small plates on a summer night. Looking forward to doing it again, because their Chitarra Cacio e Pepe has my heart ❤️❤️❤️. Also, Oberlin was just named to eater`s "Essential New England Restaurants", well deserved!
With the most amazing people. Celebrating the most amazing woman. #ionafest #if2013 #providence #grantsblock #latergram

Memorial Park stands today as a peaceful, sculpture-filled tribute to those who gave their lives in wars and conflicts around the world. 🇺🇸
Swipe to see a glimpse back to 1983 — photo courtesy of @pvdnowandthen — looking east from what is now the intersection of Washington Street and Memorial Boulevard. While much of the area looks familiar, you’ll notice the World War I memorial once stood in a very different spot. For decades, it was the centerpiece of a notorious traffic circle known as "Suicide Circle." Today, the memorial has been moved a few hundred feet to its rightful home in the heart of Memorial Park, where it rests in quiet honor. 🌿
Swing into May with a week full of downtown fun: live music, art shows, beer garden hangs, and sunset celebrations!

What a day, Providence!
This Earth Day, our community showed UP — together, we collected over 325 pounds of trash from our parks and river!
Here’s to cleaner streets, greener spaces, and the power of coming together for our city.
Thank you @partnership4pvdparks & @dnapvd for leading the efforts!
Here’s to cleaner streets! Thank you @rhodeisland.dem!!

This Earth Day, we’re reflecting on the beauty, resilience, and importance of green spaces in the heart of our city.
Our parks are more than just places to gather—they’re living ecosystems that clean our air, support biodiversity, and give us room to breathe, connect, and grow.
Let’s keep caring for them, together.
