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.

And sometimes I spin fire on a two-foot-wide wall with a 7-foot drop into the water all around me. I've slowly worked up the courage to do different more "high-risk" props on here, but, of course, my favorite is always still poi :) #waterfireprovidence #poi #ladiesoftechpoi #firepoi #fireperformer #firedancer #flowarts #circus #providenceri
For some reason I had this in my head to turn my crystal moon bat into this card! I'm hoping to have them in time for Art Mart's Shop Small Saturday craft show waterfireartscenter Nov. 27th! There's going to be so many awesome local artists there! Perfect place to shop for the holidays!

History

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.
