Tent City under Interstate 195 in Providence RI ... by gimleteye


I grew up in Providence. Never saw anything like this. The photo does not do justice to how many tents there are, and, how crowded it is. If you are traveling to other cities this 4th of July, send your tent city fotos and we'll post them here.

Yes, but are they sex offenders? ;-)

A whole new market for REI.

I think we're all just a lost job away from tent city. If they had their choice they would want a roof over their heads. Who wants to be out there with thunder and lighting in a tent with metal rods. Is there any children out there? Send the Mayor down there sleep in a tent and let him experience it for himself. It's awful how our fellow Rhode Islanders are forced to live I for 1 feel sad for them.

I think we're all a lost job away from tent city. I find it so sad that fellow Rhode Islanders have to live like this. Most were very productive wokers who came across hardship and this is where they ended up. They all need the simple necessities in life. Send the Mayor out there let him experience what it's like to be them.
