Here's the 146 view:

Where on 146 is this? The Waterplace towers seem invisible from this view...

The crane between near the Superman Building would be for Waterplace, right? I think the two towers are sort of blending into Superman and the State House from this angle.

I'd like to throw my history-geek hat into the ring... 16 before and after shots of Downtown Providence from 1976. Enjoy!

Does anyone know if you can post pictures from Snapfish.com? My wife has an account with them and I uploaded a bunch of pictures to their site, but got an error when I tried to insert one in a post here.... can anyone recommend the easiest way to post pictures to UP, I have a bunch of construction photos and other misc. ones from this weekend? Thanks in advance.

Snapfish is not a great site for photo sharing. I think it's mainly intended to be used for buying prints.

Very nice! Love the pics of the restored mill buildings. It's been way too long since I saw a good set of photos taken around the city. Thanks!

I still can't believe how wrong I was in my initial opinions of the Waterplace buildings. I expected that they would be hideous when completed. And for that matter, I also thought I would love Westin II. Wrong on both counts, and badly so!

One of the three young peregrine falcons that nests atop the Bank of America building in Providence made a street-level stop in the doorway of the Federal Reserve Restaurant on Dorrance Street yesterday morning.

Here's a You Tube video of the Falcons buzzing downcity.
