From the streets of Providence, birds perched high on downtown architecture may look like ordinary pigeons, but a keen eye and powerful lens bring the rare peregrine falcons into view. For over ten years, the fastest animal on the planet has patrolled the downtown skyline, protecting their territory and successfully rearing over 30 chicks. But the falcons are not the only raptors in town! in colder months various red-tailed hawks can be spotted. Contrary to urban legend, these birds of prey are not brought in by the local government to rid the city of vermin -- they are completely wild and reclaiming their territory. Peter Green is a photographer and graphic designer living and working in downtown Providence (www.providenceraptors.com). He walks the city, documenting urban wildlife from nesting robins to busy muskrats. His favorite subjects of all are the regal, powerful raptors who seem out-of-place yet perfectly-at-home amongst the bricks and concrete. Peter's show will run from September 5th through October 12th . Free with admission.

Scathingly funny, with a thrilling who-dunit at its core, Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama exposes a dog-eat-dog world in which small-time real-estate brokers vie for the hot leads at a Chicago firm selling shoddy properties.

Green Drinks Newport began in September 2007 and takes place the first Thursday of each month in the Newport area.

Green Drinks is an international organization that allows people in the “green” and environmental community to come together. Through this network people have made friends, found jobs, exchanged information, developed new ideas and have helped others in the field with special projects. Most of all, people have fun!

Location varies.
