In Defense Of The Lowly City: Urban Exodus, Chester Smolski
In Defense Of The Lowly City: Urban Exodus, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"For much of American history, cities have been depicted as centers of sin and corruption. As a result, they have been neglected, ignored, castigated, criticized, shunned and despised by citizens and government alike. Americans just don't like cities."
Fixing Downtown: Now The Hard Part, Chester Smolski
Fixing Downtown: Now The Hard Part, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Nov. 7, 1991, will not necessarily be labeled a local day of infamy just because Prime Time Live chose to highlight Rhode Island, which some have called the most corrupt state in the country. But if one attended the final presentation of the Providence "charrette" earlier that evening--a summary of ideas and actions designed to revitalize the capital city's downtown--and later watched ABC's depiction of our state--one could certainly call it a day of incongruity."
Keeping The Pols Honest With Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Keeping The Pols Honest With Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The New England Governor's Conference will hold a meeting in Hartford on December 6 to address regional economic issues that are common to the six states located in the northeast corner of the country. During that same week, the towns of Warren and Bristol in Rhode Island will hold public sentiment for the sharing of schools in the two towns. As disparate as these two meetings appear to be, there is a commonality of purpose that marks both: regionalism."
Pawtucket Puts Planning On Tv, Chester Smolski
Pawtucket Puts Planning On Tv, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When the Rhode Island Comprehensive Planning and Land Use Regulation Act was passed by the General Assembly in 1988, the state became one of a handful of states that sought to bring order out of the chaos of development. The results of that legislation are slowly starting to emerge.
The original law stipulated that by the end of 1990, each city and town would file with the state a comprehensive plan which addressed nine elements. Subject to state approval to ensure compatibility with state goals and policies, the plans will allow communities to better deal with problems related to growth."
Seeing The City Through Suburban Eyes, Chester Smolski
Seeing The City Through Suburban Eyes, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"American cities are, in the minds of many, quite intimidating. They are congested, noisy, dirty, too difficult to drive in, and, of course, the home of muggers, rapists and murderers. For these and other reasons, too many people avoid the opportunities and fail to appreciate the joys that come with city experiences."
The Benefits Of Regionalization, Chester Smolski
The Benefits Of Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Bristol County is unusual among Rhode Island's five counties. Not only is it contiguous with a county of the same name in an adjoining state, but it also consists of only three towns--Barrington, Warren and Bristol--and is one of the smallest of the 3,141 counties in this country."
Census: To Recount Or Not To Recount?, Chester Smolski
Census: To Recount Or Not To Recount?, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Whether to adjust or not to adjust, that is the critical question facing the US Census Bureau in the next six weeks, when it decides if it is necessary to make some type of accommodation in the figures form the April 1, 1990, census count.
Deemed "not the best census ever" by the New York Times, the count, as detailed by an embarrassed Census Bureau, missed between four and six million of the country's residents, an undercount even greater than that of 1980. Sadly, more than one half of the undercount included blacks or Hispanics, a population that needs to …
The Numbers Game: An Ethnic Mish-Mash, Chester Smolski
The Numbers Game: An Ethnic Mish-Mash, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"St. Patrick and St. Joseph would have been pleased by the special day held in their honor at the State House recently. The General Assembly session was called off, corned beef and cabbage and Italian meatballs were served and speeches were given to recognize the contributions of the culturally and ethnically rich heritage of this small state of Rhode Island."
Finding Out When A City Is Not A City, Chester Smolski
Finding Out When A City Is Not A City, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"'Welcome to America's most livable city' was the slogan in gold letters on a blue banner that hung from the rafters. This was the greeting that a passenger received on arrival a few years ago at the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. The banner no longer hangs there."
Census Numbers May Mean Money To Cities, Chester Smolski
Census Numbers May Mean Money To Cities, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It looks like we're nearly there. The results of America's most costly census have been announced and many cities and states are not happy with them. A possible adjustment of figures will likely do little to placate them."
