4 April 2023 - Afternoon stroll through Pawtucket

12 months ago

The center of town has a number of grand buildings in it. I am not sure when it was officially established but Europeans first showed up in the 17th century. Prior to that, for a long time, Native tribes called the area home. So, by modern US standards, this is one of the old New England towns, and it has the architecture to prove it.

"Pawtucket" comes from the Algonquian word for "river fall." I think you can see why.

The Blackstone River runs right through he center of Pawtucket. It used to be the linchpin of the textile industry that was one of the main industries in town.

I thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Hopefully, I managed to capture the spirit of the place for you.

Enjoy!

Beautiful city. Have you noticed that there are no people on the streets at all?

It was hot and this part of town is somewhat vacant. Plus, I think some people who were in the street didn't want to be in the frame. Who knows - maybe, the law is after them, or they are just shy. 😁
