Joseph Muratore papers: Newspaper Columns
To appreciate the present Echo, we must understand what transpired to arrive at the present, voluminous, expressive voice of our community.
The Landmarks Of Federal Hill: History And Legacy Of The Doctors Gorfine, Joseph R. Muratore
The Landmarks Of Federal Hill: History And Legacy Of The Doctors Gorfine, Joseph R. Muratore
Joseph Muratore papers: Newspaper Columns
Ask anyone who has had any contact with Federal Hill during the past 50 years about the Doctors Gorfine, and you’re sure to have some reaction.
Either of a childhood dental experience or their parents first exposure to dentistry.
Or should you be talking with an elder, they'll remind you when it only cost 50 cents to have a tooth extracted and that sometimes people couldn’t afford it.
But their tooth was extracted and other dental work done and that later they paid the doctors Gorfine when they were able to.

More Tenants Would Strengthen Downtown Retailing, Chester Smolski
More Tenants Would Strengthen Downtown Retailing, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"One of the most obvious symptoms of our sick cities is the decline of downtown retailing. Everywhere vacant shops and empty upper floors remind us of an activity that was the mainstay of downtown vitality, and which today has increasingly shifted to the ubiquitous suburban mall, that notable merchandising technique."

Saving The Arcade Isn't Easy, But It's Worth All The Trouble, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The word tradition, when associated with an historic Providence, conveys a feeling of continuity and sensitivity to the past. To return to one's community after an extended absence and find the same drugstore, record shop and bank in the same location of familiar old buildings is somehow reassuring. Hometown signifies unchanging, comfortable and memories."
Right Mix For Successful Downtown Renewal, Chester Smolski
Right Mix For Successful Downtown Renewal, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It is sometimes called a 'big, small town.' It has all the trappings of a large urban center: from outdoor concerts at the Civic Center to a Go-Go lounge; parking problems and traffic congestion, to a Worthinton Street where bars and prostitutes prevail; and vacant old buildings , to new, high-rise office blocks. Sheer numbers alone in this city bring visible evidence of the activities and characteristics common to the downtowns of most large American cities."

Housing Program That Suffers From Too Much Success, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"One of the strengths of this country lies in the large number of people who own and occupy their own homes. In 1970, 63 percent of Americans were classed as owner-occupiers (in Rhode Island the figure was 58 percent), and that number has grown to approximately 65 percent today."
Role For Business Leaders In A Cleaner Downtown, Chester Smolski
Role For Business Leaders In A Cleaner Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The recent sales promotion by the Providence Intown Merchants Association proved quite successful. Five-cent bus rides and bargain sales generated considerable business, especially on Saturday, normally a quiet day for retail sales in the downtown. This well illustrates what is possible when salesmanship and cooperation among downtown merchants are used to full advantage."
Stimulus For R.I. Housing, Chester Smolski
Stimulus For R.I. Housing, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It was the single largest bond issue in the state and one of the largest in the nation. The Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation (HMFC) has sold $163 million of tax-free bonds, $142 million of which will be made available at below market interest rates to persons with annual incomes up to $30,000, to buy homes in Rhode Island. This will have a sizable impact on the local real estate market and increase housing opportunities for many prospective home buyers."
