Providence: Arts Can Improve The Image, Chester Smolski
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."
Minorities, Cities To Bear Brunt Of Federal Cutbacks, Chester Smolski
Minorities, Cities To Bear Brunt Of Federal Cutbacks, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The sad story of the 4,500 Rhode Island families whose welfare benefits will be reduced or ended with this current 1982 fiscal year should make us profoundly aware of the plight of the poor. In the next few months government-mandated action will bring the federal budget closer to balance. Not yet noticed but soon to be realized, will be the impact on minority poor, and on the place where most of them live--the city."
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."
Welcome To The Beach: Only If You Can Afford It, Chester Smolski
Welcome To The Beach: Only If You Can Afford It, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Narragansett has been called 'Home of the most expensive public tan in America' because of beach and parking fees imposed by the Tow Council in June."
Downtown Shopping By The Elderly, Chester Smolski
Downtown Shopping By The Elderly, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It was their last meeting of the year. Some came to hear a lecture on United States foreign policy, some to study French or Shakespeare, some to hear a discussion on Iran, and some came to do line dancing. It was also an opportunity to meet friends, have lunch together, and, perhaps, do some shopping. Who are these actively involved people? They are the elderly."
