Wow, Providence looked nothing like this when I lived there. It was an odd, interesting place with a lot of strange little nooks and crannies that seemed to endlessly ooze bizarre and interesting characters onto the streets. It may be a lot prettier now but I'm not sure it would be as fun to come of age in today's remade Providence. Waterfire is a great time for children of all ages though, and you should definitely check it out on selected weekends in the Spring, Summer and Fall.
