## Resource

Meet Jennings, an 82-year-old Providence legend who’s still out on the streets patrolling Kennedy Plaza, keeping the city’s heartbeat steady amid tourists, homeless folks, and daily chaos. Once a city councilor and former sewer superintendent, he’s now a community anchor working hand-in-hand with police and downtown officials. But don’t let his age fool you—he’s crushing heavy weights, squatting more than most people his age weigh, and lifting hundreds of pounds at the gym. He’s proof that staying active and strong isn’t just about fitness—it’s a mission to inspire others to defy age and keep going.
