Next time you're at Providence Place Mall think about RIVERS. The Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council installed 5 posters describing this National Heritage River (Rhode Island has two of the five, one of the others being the Mississippi, by the way), and you probably drive over this river several times a month, maybe without realizing it.
The Woonasquatucket River runs right under the Providence Place Mall. Most people know the EAST-facing view looking out toward the city.
However, next time you're there, check out the view to the WEST-facing view from the 3rd floor Food Court. The WoonASquatucket (second syllable stressed, if you want to be in the in-group), runs out to North Providence. There's a beautiful new bikepath along it -- 5 miles long. You begin to get the idea from this photo, but see the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council website for better photos and a lot more information!
Here is one of the five posters describing the Woonasquatucket, which are located along the windows facing Waterplace Park.
