JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY REPEATING / PROVIDENCE COVE
a participatory walk around a now abscent shoreline, from noon Saturday 19th October 2013


On Saturday October 19th, Brookes and Casado, accompanied by local residents, walked a route that followed the now absent shore line of the original Providence cove, now reclaimed and covered by the subsequent developments of the downtown area of the city.

They invited anyone interested to walk with them. The walk, meeting, and shared act of remembering, covered approximately one and a half miles, and happened over an hour. Beginning at noon from the corner of West Exchange Street and Fox Place, just out under highway 95 (GPS coordinates: 41º 49' 31" N / 71º 25' 13" W); and followed the shoreline of the original cove, keeping everything than now covers the original water area to the walkers’ left.
