The Providence Riverwalk stretches 2.4 miles along the Providence River waterfront, encompassing the walkways, parklets, and public art that lies between Point Street Bridge and the Waterplace Park basin.
From visit to Providence, RI last week. Stayed at Airbnb near Brown U. for several days to give friends in CT a little break from me. Had a great Airbnb host, Rose. Got to walk around one of my favorite cities. Have spent a lot of time here over the years- got married at Central Baptist Church by a women minister! Take that SBC! And who needs Starbucks junk when you have a place like Seven Stars Bakery! #providenceskyline, #providenceriverwalk, #sevenstarsbakery
SWIPE ➡️ - Here`s more Waterfire goodness from my trip to Providence, RI. Such a fun thing to see - highligly recommend to anyone!

Walking at the Providence river today checking out the waterfowl and the trash. So sad that nature has to share space with litter and broken bottles🤬 Providence can be such a dump! #swansofinstagram #swans #waterfowl #mallards #litter #providence #providenceriverwalk #providenceriver #providenceriverbridge #littering

Fun morning with USK-RI at the Providence Canal Walk yesterday! At the group’s suggestion, I snapped a few pics of the process I was trying: first watercolor pencils on site, then some ink and some watercolor later at home. Not quite the result I was trying for, but at least I eventually “finished” the sketch 🙂

The “Washington Buildings” once occupied the spot where the Hospital Trust Building is now, so we’re looking at what is today the northwest corner of Westminster and Memorial Blvd. Above the building, you can see the tower tops for the original Union Station, so we know this photo was taken before 1896, probably in the late 1880s or early 1890s.

Loved the chalk art festival @providencerink on Saturday!
If we had a vote, we’d give the top prize to @pvdrec for this masterpiece from an artist who said he’d never used chalk before?! 🏆
**update: he won!!
