New England is a treasure house filled with many different types of spiritual, cultural, historical, and other resources. Included in this treasure trove is a rich mixture of legends, places, foods, and other features that are directly related to what many people think of as the New England culture.
The Arcade, what was the oldest indoor shopping mall in the U.S., is located in Providence, RI. Designed to look like a Greek temple, the granite structure was built in 1828. In 2008, the Arcade was closed in anticipation of a major renovation.
