    This is a very large, well-run, yearly 5k that happens late morning on a Sunday in downtown…read moreProvidence every year. People come from all over to run in this race. There are many professionals, former Olympians, and novices. There is a professional announcer/emcee who sets the mood. I noticed that 2016 was much more festive and happy than 2017. In 2016 there were several live bands, and DJs playing music for the participants en route. It was awesome, I loved it so much! None of that happened this year, and I even noticed way less patrons in general cheering us on in the side lines. In 2016 the emcee guy was more lively too, especially at the starting line when he sent us off. I didn't even here him this year until the end of the race. It had a less festive, cohesive feel and atmosphere as a result. I would like to know what changed. They offer water at three places. I wish smaller, more environmentally-friendly cups were used. Plastic is not necessary especially for such a well-funded race. Additionally, attendees of this race tend to be very scent-unconscious--they are often sprayed own tons of gross smelling body spray of fabric softener which is hard for many people to breath around. Fragrance-free policies should be adopted for the health and safety of all runners. Overall, this is an excellent race, and I will most likely be running in the future. Providence Police does an excellent job at keeping the roads safe for us too.

    Last evening I attended the gala event of the opening of the 10th annual Providence French Film…read moreFestival presented by Brown University. It was free and open to the general public, and after a reception that featured a gigantic baked brie en croûte and other cheese and veggies and fruit appetizers and wine and beer, it included a viewing of a short film entitled We Eat Socca Here, about this delicious street and bar food specialty made with chickpea flour, olive oil, salt and pepper, often enjoyed with a glass of rosé wine or Socca beer in Nice and along the Cote D' Azur and the Liguria region. Then we were shown previews of all the films to be presented at the festival fri February 28-March 5. The venue of the event and the film itinerary of the festival is the Granoff Center for the Creative Arts, where there are ongoing gallery exhibits and is very accessible in College Hill, off Thayer street. Some free street parking is available close by, but most street parking next to the center was recently converted to meter parking. There is an available film pass that can be purchased in their website and can give you access to four film viewings for $30; otherwise is $10 for the general public and $7 for students per film viewing. This is a wonderful opportunity to interact with francophones, and there are films representing the French speaking world at large.
