Providence, on the record
Downtown Ledger

Every block

297 blocks on 100 streets, both sides of each, inside the City of Providence's own Downtown boundary.

Blocks are the city's: one per segment in the Department of Public Works road layer, named by their cross streets. Interstates and ramps are left out. Each block shows Google Street View facing each side of the street from its middle, with the date Google photographed it. The pictures are Google's and are here for orientation; nothing on the ledger is read off them.

121 of these blocks are counted: the ones inside the Downcity zoning district, the ledger's working boundary for downtown (dashed on the map, blocks in black). The rest of the Downtown neighborhood is shown for browsing and left out of any count.

Walked so far: 4 of 121 counted blocks; 19 street-level storefronts, 17 open and 2 dark, 11% dark. Every figure is from photographs taken on the block, dated on its page.

Under each block, the businesses and organizations listed on each side of it. "Listed" means an open dataset has them there: Overture Maps Places release 2026-09-23.1 (CDLA-Permissive-2.0; confidence 0.7 and up) and OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL). Listings go stale, so a listing is not a claim that the place is open. "Seen" and "gone" are from walking the block, with the date. "Listed closed" is a listing its source marks permanently closed.
