The is Amber. She is the owner of The Black Leaf Tea & Culture Shop. She's a transplant from Chicago who came here for work and fell in love with the city. When asked "What is your favorite thing about Providence?" she responded - "The locals dont seem to think so but there is so much to do in Providence. The food is great. and other cities are close enough to visit easily." I completely agree. Thanks for sticking around PVD and giving us your great tea combinations.

This is Brother Joseph. He is a preacher. He also sings. He said "I wanted to be a professional singer but I decided to go to theology school instead. Most preachers can sing ..but not all can sing well" He told me "I live downtown near the Superman building". I asked what his favorite thing about Providence and he said "I love all the old buildings. We hardly tear anything down. We just fix the old stuff and keep using it". He was also kind enough to say a prayer for me and my family right then and there. Thanks brother Joseph.

This is Zach Chaffee. He is a prosecutor with the United States Attorneys office. He told me he loves his job but not as much as the view from his office from 8th floor of One Financial Way downtown. I asked him what his favorite thing about Providence and he said "I love the little parks. This one (Prospect Park) is one of my favorites."

This is Bennie Stephens. He works as a insulation installer. Hey loves talking pictures with people that he comes across on the streets of Providence. He says he always asks them if the know the meaning of "Providence" and is happy to tell them if they dont know.
When asked what is his favorite thing about Providence he said "The People"
I have to agree.

If you have ever been to Sakis Pizza late night then you know Charlie. It seems as if they constructed the building around him one day. He has a quick wit and has been know to have a quicker right hook. When Charlies not slinging pizza slices, he spends time teaching young people to box. I asked Charlie what he loved about Providence and he responded "Its full of beautiful women"
