Mini 2 The Providence River

[Rhody Seth]

Sir Royce returns with a short trip over the river just south of Providence, Rhode Island. We tour the industry and architecture as the morning unfolds.

Nice! Did you need LAANC to fly?

Interesting how many of our rivers are industrial corridors, isn't it?

No, that area is fine for flying. Makes sense regarding the rivers and their importance to industry. You head inland and can find lots of towns in disrepair that once had important textile industries along water ways - now they are no more.

Enjoyed the commentary. I can relate, living in the very buckle of the rust belt. Thanks for posting.

The post-industrial economy hit here in SW New Hampshire long ago too. Many old textile mills dot the small towns in this area. Fortunately most of them have been adaptively re-used. Harrisville is a great example. Here's a pic I've posted before, but worth another look. All the buildings in the picture are still in use, some as artist studios.
