"Below this spot then at the water's edge stood the rock on which according to tradition Roger Williams, an exile for his devotion to freedom of conscience, landed 1636."
When he landed he was greeted by the Narragansett Indians with "What cheer, netop?" (roughly "Hi neighbor!"—the future slogan of Narragansett Beer).
The actual slate rock on which the landing occurred was accidentally dynamited into oblivion in 1877 by city workers trying to uncover more of it for posterity.
Slate Rock Park is now about to be refurbished.
I could easily fill up this photostream with monument engravings and rack up the views.
This wreck on Grove Street used be a school before it was abandoned and became a crackhouse. Then someone bought it two years ago with the intent on turning it into a parking lot. After tearing down a small portion, the work has been abandoned, and the baseheads are trickling back in.

These two houses, on Angell St in Providence Rhode Island, are for sale for only ten dollars each. The catch? The buyer has to move them.

'Underdog' composited the Rhode Island Statehouse into the middle of the Boston Common and added some skyscrapers because I guess our skyline wasn't impressive enough.
Despite what the ProJo says (Here) I'm convinced that Boston was the original source image and the Providence buildings (Like the ginormisized Bank of America building) were added later.
Première fois où l'on a appris à éclairer une scène de théâtre, monter les projos...
Pas évident d'accrocher des projecteurs au plafond pour sa première fois.
Bon souvenir!

As seen, there are number of special trash containers made by local artist including Lu Heintz at The Steel Yard commissioned by Olneyville Housing Corporation. Heintz' four cans were refused, due their critique of gentrification and history of local disinvestment and "renewal".
The local article reports: They rejected the set outright, contending that this is a neighborhood improvement project, not a work of public art.
In the winter on 1949
Five hundred families were
Displaced by new highway
Construction, which
Separated Olneyville from
Providence, while creating
Easier access to the suburbs
For more affluent families.
In the years following,
Mill shutdowns left
Thousands jobless
Another can reads: In the beginning of the 21st century, with the financial and political support of the City of Providence, private developers purchased much of the industrial property in Olneyville, creating luxury living in the city’s poorest neighborhood.

CRANSTON, R.I -- Ivan G. Marte, chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Hispanic Assembly, says he has quit the GOP out of embarrassment at South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's address to Congress last week.
Wilson shouted 'You Lie,' when Obama remarked that illegal immigrants would not receive benefits under his health care plan.
"I do not want to continue being a member of a party in which the members of the party express themselves in that way," said Marte, 59, of Cranston. In a phone interview, he called Wilson's behavior "shameful" and "uncivilized."
But Marte said Wilson's outburst was the last straw in a series of disappointments that led him to break with his party.
Marte became "disenchanted" with Governor Carcieri after the Republican governor sought his advice -- and then ignored it, Marte said -- concerning the 2008 executive order cracking down on illegal immigration. Carcieri's order angered many in the Hispanic community.
Marte suggested Carcieri visit Hispanic families in their homes; meet with Hispanic community leaders, and answer questions on Hispanic talk radio. "I think once I left the office, they must have thrown it [his suggestions] in the garbage," Marte said. "I haven't heard back."
He also said in the interview that the GOP "does not open the door to minority groups," and needs "to adapt" to a changing society.
