Missed Opportunity In S. Kingston, Chester Smolski Dec 1981

Missed Opportunity In S. Kingston, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"They were well dressed, although informally. They came with their spouses. They were articulate, educated, and generally did not raise their voices. They looked like solid middle-class Americans--homemakers, civic-minded, and concerned citizens, so it was difficult to understand their reaction to the proposed housing development."

Central Bank Of Nigeria Annual Report And Statement Of Account For The Year Ended 31st December 1981, Central Bank Of Nigeria

Monetary expansion slowed down, but a 5.6% increase was recorded at the end of the year.

Providence: Arts Can Improve The Image, Chester Smolski Nov 1981

Providence: Arts Can Improve The Image, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"Providence has an image problem. Whether one asks as state resident or a Providence native about our capital city, the response is usually negative. And the image of our city held by non-Rhode Islanders is one that should not make us proud."


Meet A Leader In Urban Renovation, Chester Smolski Oct 1981

Meet A Leader In Urban Renovation, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"This city of 35,000 residents in a small, rural county of Piedmont in north-central South Carolina has become a leader in urban innovation--innovations that have been implemented and are now starting to pay off."


Some Good Things Are Happening, Chester Smolski Oct 1981

Some Good Things Are Happening, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"It is easy to be critical and to single out the wrongs of a society: the reporting of such wrongs is what sells newspapers. Too often the good things that happen are not recognized nor deemed newsworthy, and the result is they go unnoticed. So it was more than refreshing to read recently in these papers about some very positive actions on the part of a private citizen, a small business, and yes, even a politician--actions that are helping to make our communities better places in which to live."


Accepting The Townhouse Idea Requires New Attitudes, Chester Smolski Sep 1981

Accepting The Townhouse Idea Requires New Attitudes, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"To change actions is easy; to change attitudes is more difficult. This is a truism that one finds whether one deals with race relations, sexual equality or ethnic stereotypes. It is also true in housing."


City's Capital Center Plan Too Vital To Be Sidetracked, Chester Smolski Aug 1981

City's Capital Center Plan Too Vital To Be Sidetracked, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"Three major criticisms of the Capital Center have emerged as a result of public hearings being held on this proposed development for downtown Providence. These criticisms are focused on: 1. relocation of the new railway station 1,200 feet north of the present Union Station; 2. elimination of the connection for a through East Bay-West Bay rail service; and 3. construction of a boulevard that would parallel the present railroad tracks. All of these criticisms have merit."


Elderly Can Bring Benefits To Downtown, Chester Smolski May 1981

Elderly Can Bring Benefits To Downtown, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"The elderly are becoming an increasingly influential group in our society. Recent outpourings of mail and telegrams to representatives in Washington in response to government-proposed cuts in Social Security underscored this ability to influence chance. Congressional members are listening to the growing numbers of elderly who are making their voices heard through their votes."
