In spring 1636, having been banished from Salem, Massachusetts for questioning Puritan belief, Roger Williams traveled south until he came upon a braid of Seekonk River. After crossing the mighty headwaters he was met by a native party of Narragansett people who lived and hunted around the gorgeous bay named after them. They greeted the vanquished Pilgrim with the words "What cheer, Netop." Hello, friend!
Finding the area beautiful, Roger Williams asked if he could purchase a tract of land from chief sachems Canonicus and Miantonomi who heartily obliged. Here, Williams and his small band of followers established a new, permanent settlement, convinced that divine providence had brought them there. The new settlement was going to establish a haven for separation of church and state, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. Roger Williams named this beautiful paradise, where the rivers came together and emptied into a luxuriant blue bay: Providence Plantations.
Please enjoy this pictorial video of the great city of Providence, Rhode Island. Once the jewelry capital of the world, Gorham Silver, the 1928 NFL League Champion Providence Steam Rollers; the 1884 Major League Baseball World Champion Providence Grays, who played at Messier Street Stadium; Railroad Hall, where Abraham Lincoln gave his famous 1860 speech to well over 1,500 Rhode Islanders; and to were today the awe inspiring Waterfire art installation sits atop the main three Providence Rivers of the the Moshassuck, Woonasquatucket and the Providence; a by-weekly summer event that has drawn over 10,000,000 people worldwide and that many travel magazines have called one of the top 5 things people must experience at least once within their lifetime. I hope you enjoy this video experience as much I enjoy putting it today. --Jéanpaul Ferro

How beautiful. The architecture that we knocked down for Urban Renewal can never be replaced. No one can afford buildings like these anymore.
