IN PROGRESS: WaterPlace | Intercontinental

[runawayjim]

in news not related to graffiti, the new skyline is now visible from PC (probably because there's no leaves on the trees). you can see waterplace as well as the new westin.

i do... but i need a moment in my day when i could get the picture. while i'm on campus all day, i don't really get a chance to get out and snap a pic. i'm also not sure how well it'd come out. i'll try though...

[mental757]

wow, take that Jim...

[Liamlunchtray]

Instead of sitting around all day snapping your carrot you could snap a pic of the skyline!?

[runawayjim]

i'm not quite sure what frankie is implying... but as soon as we have a decent day (today would not make for a good pic), i'll bring my camera with me to work and try to get the picture.

I'm guessing he is busting around with you, as in he (we?) want to see pictures, not excuses!

alright, you asked for it and now i'm delivering. skyline pics from the PC area. unfortunately, as i said, there are lots of trees in the way. so i did my best. also, my camera is nothing special. if someone else, maybe with a tripod, has a good camera and wants to take better pics, let me know and i'll tell you where the best spots are. i wish i knew someone who lives in the newest dorm because they have windows facing the skyline and 5 stories up would make for an excellent view. a guy i work with has been on top of the tallest building on campus (probably one of the tallest vantage points in the city at 10 stories on top of the hill in the middle of campus). he said you could see the newport bridge, so imagine what the skyline would be like... anyways, onto the pics.

these are big, i apologize, but it's the only way to see anything.

Jim delivers for the people!

But you know what this means, don't you?

Yup. When 110 is built, I'm going to have to needle some more photos out of you!

What is it about Providence that makes it such a haven for graffiti? Almost none of it demonstrates any artistic talent. Is there anything that can be done? Cameras and those guys in yellow jackets would be a good start.

when 110 is built, it will show up in all the pics i took. there's actually more pics than just those, but the other 2 sucked. i'll add a link to my flickr page in my sig and you can see them there.

[runawayjim]

That is a nice view of the skyline, I never noticed it from the PC area.

because of the design of the campus (and the fact that the campus is on a hill), you can see it from the campus, but not really from anywhere else in the area... although if my house was a 3 story house and i lived on the 3rd floor, i'd see it because i'm also on hill.

So, I drove my parents around for Christmas shopping (they didn't want to park anywhere, so I had to drop them off, go around the block, then pick them up), and when we went to Providence Place, it was the first time they went downtown in about a year (they're Rhode Islanders, give 'em some slack), and my mother looks up at the construction of the Waterplace Condos and asks if they are parking garages.

My father, who is a bit more savvy about what's going on, corrected her. I think she still has that inferiority complex thing going on for Providence. If there's a highrise development, it's gotta be for parking.

Towards the top of the hill in this image you see an opening, almost like a counter top, does anyone know what is going there? I walked by it the other day and it just really confused me.

[dgreco]

if you're talking about the wall made out of stone at the top of the hill by waterplace, that's all it is. a short wall that you can sit on and stuff. the top of it is all stone going out to the sidewalk.

[runawayjim]

The piece that is connected to the waterplace condos. I dont know really now to explain it, but it is just a rectangle opening.

[provid]

Its going to be a retail - like a coffee shop. The entrance to the garage is on the backside of that.
