Walking Providence, Rhode Island Waterfront & Downtown via Westminster Street

I take a walk in Downtown Providence via Westminster Street to the Waterfront, cross the Providence River, and then make my way back to Downtown, crossing over the beautiful Providence Pedestrian Bridge with gorgeous views of Downtown. Providence is the state capital of Rhode Island, the smallest state in the United States.
From Wikipedia:
"Providence is the capital and the most populous city of Rhode Island. It was one of the first cities established in the United States. It is located in Providence County. It is the third largest city in the New England region. In the 2010 census, the city proper population was 178,042. The area is the 37th largest metropolitan population in the country, with an estimated MSA population of 1,600,856. This is more people than the population of Rhode Island due to the area reaching into southern Massachusetts. Providence is at the mouth of the Providence River, at the head of Narragansett Bay. The city's small footprint is crisscrossed by streets at odd angles and has a rapidly changing distribution of residents."

Cool I’ve never been to RI - had no idea what it looked like. Nice to get a tour from Action Kid!

[@ramcesdelgado5123]

I like when you are visiting in many different places in the USA 🇺🇸

[@ActionKid]

[@blahblah1438]

You’re in my city action kid. I live in Providence welcome

[@sundariann9161]

Great you are coming to providence wayland square you must go there! Upscale AREA boutiques, RESTAURANTS and cafes

AK first congrats on this tour you are taking us is gorgeous. Some streamers try to be your clone ,but each of us is gifted differently and yours is streaming at its best. God bless you nobody can take your talent and intuition away .

[@sundariann9161]

Luxury apartment buildings dating from the 30's like the upper east side in New York! Beautiful turn of century mansions all maintained

[@sundariann9161]

In the eastside just behind Brown uni Prospect St all mansions now college buildings must go there

[@IamMaria_O]

I’d have to say this is one of my favorites. Great vlog @ActionKid thanks for sharing this wonderful city w us. I’m truly impressed, such beauty. 👍🏽

[@ActionKid]

I was impressed with the city too!

[@billsmarysam1238]

[@ActionKid]

My pleasure!

[@freddyfeliciano4468]

Thanks for another great video AK. You work very hard and I want you to know that I truly appreciate it. Can’t wait for the rest. Thank you and God Speed🛴

[@mariacullati2371]

The Providence River used to be covered by roads but our former Mayor Buddy Cianci conceived the open waterways you see now. He changed the whole countenance of our city and it became a thriving metropolis in the 80 's. Come back to see Waterfire in the summer.

[@mariacullati2371]

Thank you AK,you took me home. I hope you enjoyed Providence

[@project_boy]

Literally in my city !

[@amfm889]

9:27 The Superman Building! Fun fact about the pedestrian & bike bridge over the river: I-195 used to be there. They relocated the highway further south and built the bridge on the highway's old piers.

[@ActionKid]

Wow, thanks for sharing all the information!

[@heidilara3570]

Hi o like dawn town it's very nice because it looks old and some look very antiqued but also during the summer they have water fire it's kind of near where u was Walking in that video so lot of people come around that time it's very nice couse they do it in the night like seven so have fun walking knowing providence 😉👍👍😉

[@b-a4798]

Pretty quiet town at the moment. The Water Fire events are fantastic !!

[@akep111]

I’m originally from Providence and am watching a bunch of videos to get excited for my trip back home after being away for a number of years. I have to say yours are may favorites!You capture everything I love about Providence! The history, the architecture, the food. I love your approach! New favorite channel!

[@davidellis5141]

It's Awesome to see The Action Kid back on his 🇺🇸 tour. He will 🚶‍♂️ the country in 2021 😎

[@sundariann9161]

The beautiful turn of the century elite private school Moses Brown also in that area

[@thomaskevinhughes8890]

[@Sdragnasty]

I stumbled upon this missing Providence, and a college reunion... Thanks for the stroll - at least the streets haven't changed!🥴 LOVED the bridge walk💖

[@sundariann9161]

Lloyd Avenue, Cooke St all beautiful mansions in walking distance from wayland square and Brown university

[@langstonreese7077]

I hope they “cook” “brownies” on that street

[@yippeehaha24-y1y]

Thanks so much for this! I'm planning to visit Providence this summer and was planning to visit this bridge.

[@gilbertdossantos8215]

Action Kid,you are great.May you travel the world over.Thank you for all the videos!

[@mariemorgan7759]

I would had liked to go in to that Lovecraft store!

[@adelemorales4280]

Great to see this video. We’re visiting Providence soon.

[@guardianangel.Onnjel]

A New Hope, The Actionkid strikes back, the return of the NYC KZbinr. Wonderful footage as always. God bless.

[@sanjivkeskar2547]

Very nice inormarmative. Thanks for sharing.

[@queenbee125]

The upstairs in the Arcade mall are micro apartments.

[@letswalkaroundstockholm]

Really enjoyed the walk! Thanks once again. Greetings from Sweden

[@susansovis986]

The "little bust" on the building is on the Turk's Head Building. Also Seth McFarlane went to RISD (my Mom and Dad did too!) Love your videos. Just moved back from California to live in RI and worked Downtown Providence in the '70s. My Dad used to swim in the Providence River in the '20s. Check out the now abandoned Superman Building. Thanks for the excellent tours!

[@emiliocardemil9389]

Interesting walk. May I suggest you pay a visit to Madison WI. It is a very lively town and the University of Wisconsin is really worth looking.

[@sussybaka5322]

Fun fact in that mall you're In they converted some stores into living spaces

[@ActionKid]

I heard about that! It's incredible.

[@sussybaka5322]

@@ActionKid Ita almost like the nyc shoe box apartments, but bigger and with their own bathrooms.

[@brendad3570]

Nice vid- love the old buildings. The first part on Westminster St reminds me a little bit of the Old Port in Portland ME

[@ActionKid]

Yes, very similar!

[@educ9283]

This city reminds me a lot of Copenhagen or Dublin because the providence river is similar to the waterways of both cities. The Providence Power Plant is the same power plant of Copenhagen and both are closed the port

[@yousefalomar2002]

Thanks for passing by RISD 👍🏼

[@cozmorio]

RISD is pronounced as a faux acronym: Riz-Dee.

[@ActionKid]

Interesting fact there!

[@CelineRulezz35]

@@ActionKid Did you get a chance to go to Newport RI that is another famous city in RI. Alot of old mansions,. Ocean Drive, Cliffwalk going along the ocean. I know it's hard to see everything when traveling across the country. In Providence I think you filmed it one building is called the Superman building. Still haven't seen your other Providence videos yet. Maybe you mentioned it on it. Not sure why they called it that not sure if was a building that was on a older Superman show or movie. Thanks for doing your walking tours!!

[@carolemahoney3766]

You may not know that along the river they have a very popular water fire. They light up the river and have different attractions, food and entertainment.

[@geirmyklebust]

Its so different in Rhode Island, very North European, Providence is like a small town in Sweden.

[@oquefizhoje]

Dont miss Slater Mill Museum on nearrest town Pawtucket. The first industrial machinery in US are there. It s a must. Go for it.

[@mariacullati2371]

Also Rhode Island College, Bryant College and Providence College.

[@josebro352]

This is HP Lovecraft's hometown!!

[@lemedeiros1979]

I live just outside of Providence and love the city. Sadly, because you were there mid pandemic, it was dead downcity. Also, that's why all the restaurants were closed. The pandemic really hit the city hard because all the big businesses in all those big buildings are having their employees work from home. Pre pandemic, it is much more of a busy city.

[@lemedeiros1979]

Also, the universities were out for the summer and many if not all were virtual due to the pandemic.

[@speliotis]

Hey A K. how are you zooming in & out with the Osmo Pocket ? I wasn't aware of that feature are you doing it in Post? Thanks

[@kyleschwartz.]

Pretty steady for just holding gopro

[@gyommr]

Why is it so pretty there?! 😮😍 Very European

[@drbobdrake]

Walked past the historic Grace Church without comment as well as the Shepard’s famous clock (“Meet me under the Shepard’s clock.”) Do more research ahead of time, please!

Connecticut next?

[@py2007]

Are the streets always that quiet?

[@crazeyjoe]

On a Sunday morning, it usually is.

[@blahblah1438]

Yes, I live in Providence and on the weekends the city is typically quieter than during the week day. Saturdays are usually pretty busy though with lots going on

Federal Hill, which is on the other side of I-95 (west of downtown) is Providence's Italian district/neighborhood. It is highly recommended to check out!

I'll have a video out soon!

[@adamberaha]

The river was literally underground until about 25 years ago, so that's probably why there's less development along the water
