So many rocking horses. Big. Small. Wood. Plastic. Pink. Brown. I shared photos with family and one of them said it was 'creepy'. Ha! A bunch of children's rocking horses, in a random rural field, arranged in a circle? Sure, I can see how you might see that as creepy! Hahaha. I found it a delightful bit of whimsy and am SO happy to share in the fun. The site is maintained by whomever is our host. The circle was mowed making it easy to walk around and enjoy. The pathways to the site, which is very close to the street, are also kept clear. It's definitely off the beaten path and worth the extra time because the drive in is on lovely, windy, tree lined, back roads. A nice break from highway driving. Parking is roadside. Please do not park in the driveway next to the henge as that is someone's driveway. Go have some fun. Or go creep yourself out. Which ever way you see it, it's totally worth a stop!

The oldest of…read morethe old King Philip's War was a nasty affair with atrocities and lots of horrible things occurring on both the Native American and English sides. Towns were burned and people murdered. No quarter was asked and none was given. One particularly brutal incident was called Nine Men's Misery. It started on March 20, 1676, when Capt Piece of the colonists let a group of troops after what was left of the Narragansett Tribe. The troops got a bit too over confident and walked right into an ambush and were slaughtered by the Narragansetts. Virtually all of the troops were killed but nine managed to survive the battle and were captured, tortured and then killed. Not exactly unexpected considering what the English were doing to the Narragansetts. Most of their villages were burned and the women and children executed . When other English troops found the bodies of the dead captives. they immediately buried the bodies and put up a monument site of rocks over the graves so the memory of the incident would never be forgotten. The pile of rocks have been tended to ever since and is now considered the oldest veterans memorial in the country. It's not exactly an exciting or aesthetically stunning memorial but it an extremely spooky and fascinating place to hike out and actually find. The area has lots of cool hiking trails besides the one leading to the memorial but the bugs are incredibly bad in these woods. Lovely stone walls and beautiful trees, this would probably be a great place for a winter or fall hike. A thoughtful place to reflect and remember what it was like back then during these horrible wars. Right and wrong, good and evil are just words. Pain, death and suffering was the reality.

So why review it? It's a breathing, functional, permanent art exhibit. An architectural and design wonder. A cutting edge example of urban revitalization and green design. And it's right here in Providence, RI. In addition to using recycled steel from the shipping containers, the design incorporates energy recovery ventilation, storm runoff reduction, and light fixtures sensing daylight - encouraging 25% less energy than most office buildings. Current tenants include social enterprises like Maternova, nonprofits like Social Venture Partners RI and the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative, design firms like Morris Beach Design and Kelly Taylor Interior Design, and a handful of other local businesses, including the 3 collaborators who made this architectural experiment possible: distill studio, Stack Design Build, and truth box inc.

Conducting business in the Town Hall is reminiscent of of my childhood when people chatted freely and smiled while they worked. You got to know your neighbors and town officials which is always helpful. The Post Office employees are fast to remember faces if not names and always have a treat or 2 for patient children. Our neighbors are good hardworking people who check on each other, be it out of concern or just because. You are also cleaner and quieter than your big sister Worcester, but she's seeking help for that. I once thought that you were comprised of mostly car dealerships, fast food joints, and a mall. We've been here for a year and a half now and I value your location. If we need the Mass Pike, it's 2 miles away. If I need the quiet and solitude of the woods, it's also 2 miles away.
