Tweet The air show got off to a slow start again on Sunday, because of the low cloud cover. So they had to wait for some of the cloud cover to burn off, before they could send the stunt planes up. Also I noticed the air show has actually been changed quite a bit more [...]

It is something that was begun, interestingly enough under Buddy Cianci, as part of the revitalization of Providence, which was also given the nickname the Renaissance city around the same time. The Rhode Island artist Barnaby Evans created Waterfire in 1994, as “First Fire” [...]
