✨ #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.

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!
