Missed Opportunity In S. Kingston, Chester Smolski
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."
Some Good Things Are Happening, Chester Smolski
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."
City's Capital Center Plan Too Vital To Be Sidetracked, Chester Smolski
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."
A Visit To Litter 'Graveyard' Might Resurrect Bottle Bill, Chester Smolski
A Visit To Litter 'Graveyard' Might Resurrect Bottle Bill, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Thousands of people drive over it every day and never even notice it. Even when identified as being located at the junction of Clifford, Friendship and Chestnut Streets at the edge of downtown Providence, few would know where to find it. More people would know it as the parcel of land situated between Leo's and the Met Cafe, surrounded by a broken chain-link fence and a favorite depository for "dead" bottles. Inconsequential as this lot appears to be, it presents an opportunity and a problem in the capital city.
