Providence, Rhode Island!

I spent a few April days in Providence. Here you go:

Prospect Terrace overlook:




The Providence River and downtown:
















College Hill, the student ghetto neighborhood for Brown University:






Brown itself:




Fox Point, a cute walkable neighborhood tucked between Brown and the harbor:












India Point Park, which was the original pre-Revolution port:






Little Italy, along Atwells Avenue in Federal Hill:












DePasquale Square in Little Italy:




The La Pigna Archway:






Roger Williams Park:












Providence has some interesting bus stuff. The most famous is definitely its bus subway. Arguably the first "BRT" in the United States, the bus tunnel connects downtown to Brown University, and was originally built for trolleys in 1914. In 1948 it was converted to bus only, and has been that way now for 72 years. It's a non-stop trip, no cars allowed:






Downtown's main hub is Kennedy Plaza.




The inside of the Kennedy Plaza bus station:




A recently-built BRT extends out south of downtown:








Bye! Thanks for coming!
