We All Benefit From A Clean Providence, Chester Smolski
We All Benefit From A Clean Providence, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Walking along the newly relocated Woonasquatucket River and observing the new walks, roadways and bridges, one cannot help but be impressed by this continuing evidence of the revitalization of the capital city's downtown. Equally impressive is the general overall cleanliness of this area and the rest of the city center. It was not always so."
Bringing Conventions To Ri, Chester Smolski
Bringing Conventions To Ri, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"On time and under budget: It's not often that one can say that about a government-sponsored and government-built project, but to date, that is exactly the status of the Rhode Island Convention Center. Assuming this pace of development continues, the center will open in December 1993 below the $290 million projected cost."
Gigantic Malls Bring Downtown To Suburbia, Chester Smolski
Gigantic Malls Bring Downtown To Suburbia, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The recent opening of the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., has probably received more publicity than any other shopping center in the nation. This behemoth of shopping malls is certainly something to experience, but the real question is whether this $650 million investment has a future."
Invisible Industry, Visible Rewards, Chester Smolski
Invisible Industry, Visible Rewards, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The week of May 17 to May 23 appeared to be an ordinary one, but it was singled out at the national level as National Tourism Week and, in the state, as Rhode Island Tourism Week, in case you did not know, and it was recognized by both the governor and by the mayor of Providence at recent luncheons. Well, ho-hum, another of the many proclamations and paper awards that so often come out of these offices that few give them much attention. But this one should cause Rhode Islanders to sit up and take notice."
Hitting The Untapped International Tourist Market, Chester Smolski
Hitting The Untapped International Tourist Market, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It is the third-largest retailing operation in the nation with approximately five million employees. In New England it generates more than $620 million of state and local taxes annually. And in Rhode Island in 1986, it is estimated that $800 million was spent in this 'invisible industry.'"
Losing Downtown Mall By Default, Chester Smolski
Losing Downtown Mall By Default, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Firmly cemented in the ground at the meeting of Westminster and Union Streets in downtown Providence is a plaque with the following inscription: Westminster Center dedicated by Mayor Vincent A. Cianci Jr. 1980."
The Landmarks Of Federal Hill: A Walking Tour Of Federal Hill, Joseph R. Muratore
The Landmarks Of Federal Hill: A Walking Tour Of Federal Hill, Joseph R. Muratore
Joseph Muratore papers: Newspaper Columns
The following are but a few of the many landmarks of Federal Hill, that are deeply rooted with the development of Federal Hill. There are many other notable landmarks on many of the side streets of Federal Hill, connecting Atwells Avenue to Broadway. However, the following are typical of the more prominent landmarks that have endured the elements of time and weather.
Downtown Grubbiness As Seen By A Visitor, Chester Smolski
Downtown Grubbiness As Seen By A Visitor, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"This is a thank-you note to Betty Lyndon, of Bordentown, New Jersey, for taking the time to send a letter to the editor of this newspaper concerning a problem in the downtown of our capital city. The letter appeared in the morning and afternoon papers together with an editorial; that evening the police were working to resolve the problem. Perhaps this is the technique that needs to be used to get things done in the city."

Joseph Muratore papers: Newspaper Columns
This week we continue with a series of pictures and descriptions of homes along the Broadway-Armory Historic District. These pictures are of the more elaborate and well-designed homes of the outlying district of Federal Hill. These homes indicate the pattern of growth that radiated, on which these dwellings were built. The homes, not only reflect the beauty of the houses that were erected, but also indicate the opulence of the era.

The Landmarks Of Federal Hill: Historic Districts Of Federal Hill, Joseph R. Muratore
Joseph Muratore papers: Newspaper Columns
I have dwelt at length with the Historic Districts of Federal Hill, because of the importance of the dwellings that are still in existence, which are a carryover of the first homes erected in this area. These homes are structures which represent a period of the past, and fortunately, have been preserved to this date. They should continue to be preserved, in order that the fine architecture, the opulence of the era, and the pattern of development of the past, can still be seen, and to the direction that Federal Hill developed, and how it radiated from certain focal points.

As we mentioned in our previous article, we would give in further detail, the inventory of those structures which are, or have been, proposed to be registered on the National Register of Historic Places, in the Broadway-Armory Historic District. The following is a list of those homes by street names and addresses.

Beating The Drum For Tourists: Hartford Leads By A Mile, Chester Smolski
Beating The Drum For Tourists: Hartford Leads By A Mile, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"This capital city of the Nutmeg state is remarkably similar to Rhode Island's capital city both in terms of historical development and present day status. Bu there is one striking difference: the ability and commitment to 'sell' itself."
Mayor, It Doesn't Wash, Chester Smolski
Mayor, It Doesn't Wash, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"One of the major achievements in the city of Providence over the past five years has been a vastly improved parks system. From the recently refurbished Hopkins Square in the North End to the newly constructed Market Square near the downtown, the restoration of open spaces in the city has been a distinct contribution to the urban environment. And nowhere are these improvements more manifest than in the 430 acres comprising Roger Williams Park, one of the principal city assets that is enjoyed by both resident and non-resident alike."
