I used to work there for EY (accounting firm). Spent long nights on the 4th floor over there...

Small world. I lived in the smaller building on Eddy Street

Maybe (add)ventures in East Providence fits what you’re looking for?

Broad street be like

I live there currently!

And my axe! But really I’m also here

I used to live at Westminster Lofts. I miss it so much.

Darwinism in action.

I love the stupid ass little smirks they have...like who are these people? What happened to them in life where they thought "oh man I wanna be one of those obnoxiously stupid douchebags!"

It's like they sincerely think what they are doing is cool and everyone is impressed.

I once saw a guy on a ATV driving through Kennedy Plaza with a small child sitting in front of him. No helmets on either, we caught eyes and he just smiled...was he saying "ha-ha! I know this makes you mad because it's retarded but ya can't do anything about it!"?

Not sure was visiting my wife on lunch she works for a law office in the Turks head building.

Gray tower is Textron (Cessna, Bell Helicopters, etc.) world HQ. Plus some law firms and assorted tenants.

One Financial (the large white stone tower) has several floors of BoA, but that is recent. It was built as the Hospital Trust Tower (a bank) and they occupied the 28th Floor Penthouse and several others. Then a large law firm, Edwards and Angell took over much of that space, but they have since changed names and stopped being locally headquartered and downsized a bit in the building. The Santander is just a branch in the lobby. The rest of the tower is several law firms, Morgan Stanley financial services, and some other assorted tenants.

The centered building is the Textron headquarters. I believe the tallest building pictured here (One Financial Plaza) has either Bank of America or Santander as the primary tenant.

What companies even operate out of there?

I never said it was historically significant, just that the attractive, charming old building was most of the reason I ever went there and I’m sure I’m not the only one. The rush to demolish the building without a real, timely plan to rebuild left a bad impression on many members of the community, including myself. If they actually rebuild, I wish them the best of luck. Not so sure cupcakes are quite the draw they were back in 2010, but I guess we’ll see.

Looks like you fell for the interior design. The article says the interiors were decked out with Home Goods items. It was old. It was not historically significant.

He owned the building! And there was nothing deeming the structure worthy of preservation. We still have private property rights in America, as far as I'm aware. My friend lives in a 1785 farmhouse out in Lincoln, they could knock it down tomorrow if they got a town demo permit.

We can start a whole club!

We may be the only 2 in the city

Providence x FormulaDank

Glad to know I’m not alone lol

They bought it in July 2018 then closed it in March of 2019, a full year before Covid hit. They did absolutely nothing to renovate it until tearing it down in 2021.

He's even on the sidewalk, just like our own local jamokes.

If only I could think of a reason why construction would stop on a restaurant for 2 years in 2020 and 2021?? 🤔🙄
