🌱 Chris Young + Louisa St. Home Fire + Federal Hill Pizza Closed

Happy Tuesday, people of Providence! These are the most important things going on in town today.

First, today's weather:

Rain and drizzle in the a.m. High: 43 Low: 25.

Here are the top three stories in Providence today:

1. Federal Hill Pizza, located in the historic Castle Cinema, has closed. This latest closure marks another blow for the historic theater, which is still available for rentals. Owner and chef of Federal Hill Pizza, Billy Manzo, closed the Providence location to focus on his original East Bay location — as well as a new line of frozen pizzas. (GolocalProv)
2. Country music artist Chris Young will be bringing his ‘Famous Friends Tour’ to East Providence this spring. Special guests Mitchell Tenpenny and Ernest will be in attendance at the show, which takes place on May 27 at Bold Point Park. The concert was announced on Monday by Waterfront Concerts and 98.1 Cat Country. Tickets go on sale on Feb. 11. (What'sUpNewp)
3. A woman was pulled from a burning home on Louisa Street in Providence over the weekend. On Sunday afternoon, the 28-year-old victim was rushed to Rhode Island Hospital after she was pulled from the second floor of her home by firefighters while unconscious. The woman was the only person inside the home, and her current condition is unknown. (WPRI.com)

From my notebook:

• Providence firefighters want to warn the public that before placing a child in the bath or getting in the bath yourself, test the water by moving your hand, wrist, and forearm through the water. The water should feel warm, not hot, to the touch. (Facebook)
