Providence is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Rhode Island and is one of the oldest cities in the United States. It was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, a religious exile from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He named the area in honor of "God's merciful Providence" which he believed was responsible for revealing such a haven for him and his followers to settle. The city is situated at the mouth of the Providence River at the head of Narragansett Bay. Providence was one of the first cities in the country to industrialize and became noted for its textile manufacturing and subsequent machine tool, jewelry, and silverware industries. Today, the city of Providence is home to eight hospitals and seven institutions of higher learning which have shifted the city's economy into service industries, though it still retains some manufacturing activity. The city was once nicknamed the "Beehive of Industry"; it began rebranding itself as the "Creative Capital" in 2009 to emphasize its educational resources and arts community. The city is the third most populous city in New England after Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts.

Very Friendly neighbors, convenient stores with good customer service, equal rights without discrimination… different race and ages
age unfriendly - nay be a combination of things- they may only have activities.stores and
other situations only geared for the young crowd
and not have any things for older people.
they nay not have the right transportation, , activities or community situations for sertain
ages.
Where I live there are plenty of children that live in the neighborhood and across the street is a high rise building for the elderly. There's also a library 1 block away which is next door from a Elementary school.
It's Friendly because you get to work with different age groups and learn a lot. And unfriendly sometimes because they don't always understand older people cause they don't really be around them.
