Somewhat of a surprise, five of the top ten are in Florida, with Gainsville garnering the number one position, and Jacksonville, Ocala, Fort Lauderdale and Naples in positions 3, 5, 6 and 10 respectively."
A Third World View Of Cities, Chester Smolski
A Third World View Of Cities, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It may come as a surprise to many Americans that most cities of the world are the places to which people come flocking, hoping to find a better life. In this country where people still flee the city looking for the American dream out in the suburbs, this pattern of movement contrasts sharply with that experienced by most of the world's people.

Visiting Worcester Makes One Appreciate Providence, Chester Smolski
Visiting Worcester Makes One Appreciate Providence, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"A friend of mine works in the Worcester area, so I thought she would be the one to ask about things to do there. When I told her that we were going to New England's second largest city for the weekend, she asked 'Why?'"
Geographically, R.I. Teachers Are Among The Best, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts
"Isn't it time that we recognize the good teachers and good work being done in the schools of this state rather than constantly harping on problems with education and how our students don't measure up to those in other countries?"
In R.I. Bad Driving Is A Way Of Life, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts
