The interior of the Providence Arcade in Downtown Providence, R.I. when the building was closed and vacant.
Today the building is open and has a mixed use. The first floor is being used for small businesses while the second and third floor has 48 micro apartments for rent.
It is notable as the first enclosed shopping mall in the United States dating back to 1828.
A YouTube video that looks at The Arcade Providence and uses my photo in the report:
Call it luck or perhaps providence - accidentally locking ourselves out of a rented yurt immediately on arrival allowed us to help a similarly afflicted couple next to us a few days later. With staff gone for the day, their situation was a bit more dire - everything was locked inside, including phones, wallets, car keys, and even winter coats. We were subsequently all able to enjoy the scenery and one of them is checking out photo compositions in this image.

“Textured Gear” is the creation of Rob Lorenson, an artist and educator based in Fall River, Massachusetts. His studio is housed in a massive warehouse, sharing space with Concentric Fabrications, a custom metal company that Lorenson co-owns. Since settling in Massachusetts in 1999, Lorenson has crafted hundreds of large, stainless steel sculptures, most of them incorporating circular shapes.

Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area is a 1,003-acre (405.90 ha) Georgia state park located in Stewart County in southwest Georgia, United States. The park contains Providence Canyon, which is sometimes called Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon". It is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia. It is also home to the very rare plumleaf azalea.
One of the quirkier attractions of the state park is an abandoned homestead including nearly a dozen rusty, 1950s-era cars and trucks. Due to the environmental damage that removing the vehicles would cause, park officials have decided to leave them alone.
Providence Canyon is not actually a purely natural feature: many of the massive gullies — the deepest of which is more than 150 feet (46 m) — are the result of erosion due to poor farming practices in the 19th century.
This story of the origin of the canyons has been commonplace since the 1940s, but the formations in the canyons are at least partially natural. Although there were probably a few early arrivals before 1825, the first heavy influx of settlers in Stewart County only came after the Treaty of Indian Springs (1825), by which the Creek Indians were forced to cede all their lands east of the Chattahoochee River. Evidence of the existence of the canyons at this time includes their mention in a deed by James S. Lunsford to William Tatam from 1836.
The park lies on marine sediments, usually loam or clay, with small areas of sand. Loamy sand topsoils overlie subsoils of sandy clay loam, sandy clay, or clay in most of the uneroded sections. Nankin, Cowarts, Mobila, and Orangeburg are the most prominent soil series. The canyons have significant exposure to clay, over which water often seeps. Water is mobile in this well-drained area.

BNSF 6572 steadily crawls up the east slope of Providence Hill, one of the major obstacles on the railroad's Lakeside Subdivision.
The sun has set, and only the glow of the cloud line to the west shares any light on the scene. In the distance, the rolling hills between Lind, and Warden WA stretch on further than the eye can see. Mostly adorned with ryegrass and sage, some of those hills seasonally host crops of wheat, cultivated with dryland farming.
Other than the occasional vehicle of a farmhand traversing the county road, the only sound for many minutes was that of the four cycle GEVO prime movers roaring. The head end has just passed the former control point of Providence, and will crest the summit of the grade out of the right side of the frame.
The photo title is the same as a magazine article from the 1990's on this section of line. My memory fails me on recalling the author or publication, though I have a feeling it was Pacific Railnews, or CTC Board. A photocopy of that periodical accompanied me on my first visit to this line thirty years ago. On that day, much the same as on the day of the image above, very few trains ran until the evening hours, followed by a nearly nonstop parade through the night.
The New Providence Wharf is a residential development in Blackwall, at the north end of the Blackwall Tunnel. It was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and is being developed by Ballymore, a property development company.
It consists of a crescent-shaped block along Fairmont Avenue and Yabsley Street, plus two taller buildings and one small building. The development contains the Ontario Tower (rear right), the Michigan Building (rear left) and Charrington Tower (originally Providence Tower) (rear centre)..
