    Cliff and lighthouse
    Lilian A.

    We were staying in Oaks Bluff so it was like a 45 min drive over but I'm glad I went. From where we were you can see the beach. It looked so far away and serene. We headed towards the cliffs but first you have to pass through some cute little shops and a little food spot. We were hungry and they had a good selection of food. Some of us got hot dogs, others clam chowder and burger. They also had a chocolate/vanilla twist ice cream... yum. The burger was huge and delicious, I definitely recommend it. There's seating behind the building across were you order the food (hope that made sense). It's limited so claim your spot quick. Watch out for the seagulls here because they are the size of eagles and they watch you like hawks waiting for you to drop food. The cliffs were a few steps up. It was lovely to see. We were so high up that they looked small. I could also see the lighthouse from where we were. I was surprised to learn that there's an island tribe in this area which was pretty cool. I enjoyed it. It's a quick little visit, maybe like 15-30 mins but it was different. I enjoyed it very much.

    Pretty incredible views, nice beach and lighthouse, and it was nice that the city bus drove all the way out there.

    The lighthouse can be viewed here too but you can get a closer look at the lighthouse on a separate trail.

    The oldest of…read morethe old King Philip's War was a nasty affair with atrocities and lots of horrible things occurring on both the Native American and English sides. Towns were burned and people murdered. No quarter was asked and none was given. One particularly brutal incident was called Nine Men's Misery. It started on March 20, 1676, when Capt Piece of the colonists let a group of troops after what was left of the Narragansett Tribe. The troops got a bit too over confident and walked right into an ambush and were slaughtered by the Narragansetts. Virtually all of the troops were killed but nine managed to survive the battle and were captured, tortured and then killed. Not exactly unexpected considering what the English were doing to the Narragansetts. Most of their villages were burned and the women and children executed . When other English troops found the bodies of the dead captives. they immediately buried the bodies and put up a monument site of rocks over the graves so the memory of the incident would never be forgotten. The pile of rocks have been tended to ever since and is now considered the oldest veterans memorial in the country. It's not exactly an exciting or aesthetically stunning memorial but it an extremely spooky and fascinating place to hike out and actually find. The area has lots of cool hiking trails besides the one leading to the memorial but the bugs are incredibly bad in these woods. Lovely stone walls and beautiful trees, this would probably be a great place for a winter or fall hike. A thoughtful place to reflect and remember what it was like back then during these horrible wars. Right and wrong, good and evil are just words. Pain, death and suffering was the reality.

    This place holds a special place in my heart. My father and I used to walk here when I was young.read more

You can't see…read morethe fountain, or the square itself, walking up to it from the street because there are so many tables in the square for the restaurants that flank it. Well we came here for the scenery so we decided to push on and walk in and sit at the fountain for a little bit. And there it was. We were sitting there, the sounds of people eating and imbibing, Italian music pumped in through speakers and we saw the magic. It really did feel like sitting in a square in Italy and I was down for it. There are so many fun details and things to look at. I can see why they have events here and I wish we were here on a night that had a live band playing.

If Garibaldi Park and the Gateway Arch are the welcoming arms of Federal Hill, DePasquale Square is its beating heart. The quatrefoil fountain and the wide plaza are part of the Federal Hill revitalization effort. Back in the day, however, tens of thousands of immigrant families packed into these narrow streets and triple-deckers. The Cappelli Block (a multi-use commercial and residential building) was completed in 1909 by Antonio Cappelli, one of the earliest Italian arrivals on the Hill, when Irish immigrants dominated the avenue. Along these streets, too, were the famous pushcarts, selling every variety of fruit and vegetable. Today, it's a lively plaza that reminds you of a place in sunny Italy...the colors, the al fresco dining, the architecture of the fountain and surrounding buildings, all make this one of the cutest spots in Providence. On weekends, during the summer you will likely see live performers chanting old songs either as solo performers or groups. Also during the summer, many festivals take place around this square, attracting thousands....

Took 6 weeks for a couple to come and do these. Some sculptures were 3 ton of sand , some were 5 and one was 15ton! It was special and brought in from New Hampshire. Cuffy's on RT 28 had three inside their place of business so you could really see them up close. Each business designed and paid for them. Dunkin doughnuts ofcourse was a cup of coffee with his hand around a doughnut! After the sculpture is finished they take elmers glue and water and spray the entire surface to keep the sculptures intact.
