  • Walking in Providence, Rhode Island. Providence is known as The Creative Capital, it combines the accessibility and friendliness of a small town with the culture and sophistication of a big city. With a thriving arts community, vibrant and diverse neighborhoods, outstanding hotels, a renowned restaurant scene, and so many things to do, Providence is the perfect place to visit. Especially during the fall.
    Long overshadowed by Boston, Providence holds its own as a historical heavyweight. Founded by banished Massachusetts Bay colonist Roger Williams in 1636, this Rhode Island city was the country's first experiment in a secular democracy (the separation of church and state). Today, Providence is a true college town, home to Brown University, Johnson & Wales, Providence College and Rhode Island School of Design. There's even a high concentration of dedicated Red Sox and Patriots fans in town, leading some to believe that it’s a copycat of the Massachusetts capital. But there's a more relaxed vibe to Providence - not to mention more affordable hotel rates and fewer crowds - that draws even loyal Bostonians into the city for the weekend.

    Holy shit! This is more than I honestly expected! I would never imagine in my wildest dreams that this would be such a beautiful city!

      It is a hidden gem. The red brick architecture in historic cities contrasts very nicely with the greenery of all the small parks.

      Why are you so surprised. In New England, cities tend to protect and preserve old buildings. I think they've done a great job with restoration. They pedestrian friendly riverfront is particularly nice. Then College Hill hasa very hip vibe. Providence is not on anyone's radar. Boston gets most of the visitors, because it's larger and more historical, but people 😢should stop on Providence is worth a stopover. It's not that big. You could see it in a few hours. They have a really great food scene.

    It looks like a lovely place to live! It actually exceeded my expectations to see so many high-rise buildings, I thought Providence was way smaller... but it looks cute anyway!

      As a native it is small once you’ve seen other cities.

      There’s like 10 high rises 😂maybe

      Providence does have its surprises, and those high-rise buildings can certainly give the city a more dynamic feel.

    Oh man!
    We used to cross under that bridge many a time coming from Providence Place Mall to the Skating rink back in highschool. We'd get a sub and wait for our buses to go home or go back to the mall till night time.
    Fun days back then!

    It's nice to see a city that didn't ruin it's riverfront with a freeway. Also, they've done a good job with historic preservation.

    35:51 My brother used to LOVE the crosswalk sounds at Kennedy Plaza. It sounded like cuckoo birds.

    • @zigzagwalks
      @zigzagwalks  Před 10 měsíci

      Oh yeah you're right 😀 It's funny how every city in America has a different crosswalk sounds. Interesting...
