This outdoor space will soon be coming to life with wood working and plant life in spring. A dog park will be installed on the other side of the parking lot for downtown furry friends 🦮

✨ #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!
