Thanks!
I'm impressed by Providence, as well. Yesterday was only the second (maybe third) time I've actually been to downtown Providence. Yesterday was the first time I've seen the canal area, and I was absolutely in love with it.

The last shot reminds me of the financial district in Boston.

Anybody know where all these costumes are now stored?
This is the actual performing arts group. I stumbled upon these costumes years ago in a corner building downtown but I think they have been moved.

Maybe on Fulton now? Anybody know if they're still there?

The corner building you saw them in and where they are standing outside in your bottom photo was the old ornate Beaux-Arts Providence Journal Building. I recall seeing them there years ago but not recently. There is a currently stalled proposal to turn this and the adjacent Kresge building into a Hotel Hive boutique hotel. Abdo purchased the buildings back in 2018 for the hotel project but the economic conditions have hampered progress. The Big Nazo puppet costumes may have had to move when the building got new ownership.

Not helpful, but I thought they still had that space and another someplace else (Valley?) in addition to this building on Westminster which is in development: Neighborhood Nights: Neighborhood Development — West Broadway Neighborhood Association (wbna.org)

Went for a walk around downtown Providence this afternoon. These are some of the photos I took:
The view from Prospect Terrace on College Hill
The view of downtown through the front gates of Brown University.
The view from inside the Providence Place Mall
Waterplace Park
The view from inside the RI Convention Center
Westminster Street
The Providence Performing Arts Center on Weybosset Street
The Clifford Street facade of the soon to open Emblem 125 on former Route 195 land
The park at the Pedestrian Bridge
The view of downtown from Pedestrian Bridge where Route 195 once crossed the river
The new mixed use development at the corner of S Main and Wickenden Streets which will soon house a Trader Joe's

Excellent work. What type of photo equipment are you using?

They are just photos taken on a cell phone.
Had not realized that the photo from inside the mall looking out through the windows got a reflection of the ceiling (top) until looking at them again.
