This is a picture of the old Hope Webbing Factory building in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Since this photo was taken, many parts of the building have been repurposed as artist's studios, restaurants, offices, Pilate's studios and retail space. I went to dinner at a place called Rosinha's which I can't say enough good things about. The complex has been rebranded as the Hope Artiste Village. I hope that it is successful, and despite the dismal state of the Rhode Island economy, this place might have enough momentum to grow and prosper.

This photograph conceals the true size of the complex. There are one story appendages that extend back from the front of the building and go on forever.
