Reply to comment by GotenRocko in Mexican neighborhoods in Providence area? by messerdouglas

I definitely knew there was a strong Dominican presence in Providence but didn't realize there was also a Guatemalan population there. Really interesting. Thanks!

Yes, the Guatemalan consulate is here too. There are several K'iche speakers as well. There is also a fair concentration of Guatemalans around Cranston Street and Plainfield—it was not uncommon to see women wearing their native clothing and speaking K'iche. Just be aware of the scale we are talking about—we are talking about, like, a street and a couple of side streets coming off of it. Not like, fullblown actual neighborhoods in other cities.
