While I agree with your sentiments, I feel there are local African families and native families, affected then, who still live here, that should take precedence if something like that were to take place.

Yes, that's what the Wiki article says.

>the brown family and because of them and the east and west indies trading company

So what you're saying is that Brown University is named after racists and should be renamed Floyd University in honor of the greatest American to ever live, George Floyd

I forgot to add the providence River has been moved several times. Most recent configuration was when I was a kid. I watched from my rooftop.

India point was where the old port of providence came in. The river used to flow to the bottom of benefit street for the brown family and because of them and the east and west indies trading company. The port used to connect up to the tunnels coming from benefit street to the east side at varying points. Including the one still used (converted) by ripta. And it all connects to the brown family and their slave trade.

The park takes its name from the maritime activity connecting Providence with the East and West Indies.

No problem! Always happy to lend a hand.

I think the terrace park has the best view of the city! Check it out if you find the time

I've used Dimery Electric on several projects. Rob is a good guy and will treat you fairly

Haha, while Google is a helluva drug, in this case, none of those answers are helpful

Off the top of my head.

Depends on what you're into if you like walking around you could do a historic walking tour, If you've never been to new England places like benefit st have alot of old houses and history.

There's parks, like prospect terrace which has a great view of the city and great sunsets, the east bay bike path if you want to be outside, but it's getting chilly.

Museums like Risd museum, Old house museums like the john brown house, and stuff like roger Williams botanical gardens are fun too.

Besides that food, lots and lots of food. So many restaurants just pick what you're in the mood for. Thayer and Downtown will have the biggest concentration of choices.

Are you still accepting viewings?

Thanks for that! Updated the post.

Google is your friend, my friend.

What’s really made it worse if I may ask? I don’t pop around there too often.

What's the book?

Google is a helluva drug

I'm actually reading a book right now that mentions the reason!

That's it. India point park was once a major port. The brown family was involved with the east India company. It's probably well explained in that article but I can't read.

No idea but I’m going to assume it’s because of old time global trade and that it used to be the port for the city. Maybe something to do with the Dutch East India company or something?
