In 1884, carriages or public horse cars made their way from downtown up Waterman Street, drop- ping off Wayland Square shoppers. Today, you can take that same route to shop at our neighborhood stores. Among the pleasant varieties of shops are cafes, schools, and services. Trees and flowers grace the summer sidewalks while music and lights enchant winter shoppers. The friendly atmosphere, the unique merchants and the historical neighborhood make Wayland Square Providence's new old-fashioned shopping spot.
