Downtown Malls: A Means To An End, Chester Smolski
Downtown Malls: A Means To An End, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has been a trying year for downtown Providence merchants. Roads that too long have been neglected are being repaired and a Westminster Mall is in the process of getting a new facelift. Dirt, dust, noise, hazardous walking and a general inconvenience have deterred potential shoppers from using downtown shops, and this is reflected in reduced sales."
Despite The Heartaches, Urban Renewal Deserves High Marks, Chester Smolski
Despite The Heartaches, Urban Renewal Deserves High Marks, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The term "urban renewal" draws a mixed reaction. For some, it has meant relocated families, destroyed neighborhoods and heartache, even years after the fact. For others it has meant new construction, new jobs, increased taxes, reconstructed neighborhoods and visible signs of process."
Is This What We Want For Our Small Urban State?, Chester Smolski
Is This What We Want For Our Small Urban State?, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The big advantage of a small state is that it is comprehensible, and some might say managable. Certainly, it is easier to work with the 39 cities and towns of this state rather than the 351 cities and towns of nearby Massachusetts. And yet one wonders if this is really true."
'Down City' Has Gone Downhill, Chester Smolski
'Down City' Has Gone Downhill, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"There is essentially only one downtown in this city-state of Rhode Island, and it is accessible to the entire state in less than one hour's driving time. Yet over the past 10 years the Providence downtown has been in a steady decline, with a limited selection and lowered quality of goods offered from fewer shops. The familiar names of a few years ago, such as Shepards, Gladdings, City Hall Hardware and others, no longer serve as retail focal points in the captial city's central business district (CBD)."
The Paradox Of Providence, Chester Smolski
The Paradox Of Providence, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Providence is a city of poor people, yet Providence is a rich city. This apparent paradox requires some explanation."
Providence Needs Downtown Development District, Chester Smolski
Providence Needs Downtown Development District, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"In case you have not noticed, there is a considerable amount of activity taking place in downtown Providence these days."
Those Inner City "Magnets" Are A Big Draw, Chester Smolski
Those Inner City "Magnets" Are A Big Draw, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"His firm was the first to build the enclosed shopping malls that we find scattered throughout the suburbs today. It brought symphony orchestras and art museums into these malls. It was the first to provide extensive landscaping to these regional shopping centers, and which the company strives to make into community centers as well as centers of retail activity. And the most successful new town in this country, built completely with private funds, is the work of this company."
Baltimore: A City On The Move, Chester Smolski
Baltimore: A City On The Move, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"On the way to Washington D.C. one drives through a part of America's seventh largest city and, based upon the popular image of this city, there is no reason to stop in Baltimore. But if one does stop, he would be surprised and impressed by the dynamism of a city on the move."
City Need Is Jobs For Young, Chester Smolski
City Need Is Jobs For Young, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 was a landmark piece of legislation which continues to benefit communities in need. Over the past three years Providence has received close to $27 million which has been spent to improve housing, parks and historic buildings in addition to building and servicing community centers. The focus of this major legislation was on physical and social improvement of the community. The one unprovided area was economic development."
Better Year Ahead For Ri Builders, Chester Smolski
Better Year Ahead For Ri Builders, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Building permit figures recently released by the Rhode Island Builders Association indicate that housing construction in the first quarter of 1978 is well ahead of the comparable period for 1977. The signs are encouraging that this year will be better than the last and that the recovery continues from 1975, the poorest year for the housing industry in the 1970s."
How Cubans Reshaped Downtown Miami, Chester Smolski
How Cubans Reshaped Downtown Miami, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It was just this past week that the last flight of refugees likely to come out of Castro's Cuba arrived at Miami International Airport. The hightly emotional reunion of familites that had been seperated for years was a reminder of the freedom which we enjoy in this country and for which many others are still waiting to come here to also enjoy."
Jacksonville's Commitment To Downtown, Chester Smolski
Jacksonville's Commitment To Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The largest city in the Sunshine State is quite different from the cities we know in the Northeast, especially in its downtown."
Soul City Deserves To Succeed, Chester Smolski
Soul City Deserves To Succeed, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream--a dream of equal opportunity and justice for all. An assassin's bullet prevented him from realizing his dream. His friend and well-known leader in the civil rights movement also had a dream--a dream to build a new town in which the injustices of society would be lessened. Today, in the rolling farmland country of North Carolina, Floyd McKissick is working to fulfill his long sought dream."
Parallel For Providence To Consider, Chester Smolski
Parallel For Providence To Consider, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They have done it here. The Grand Opera House has nearly been restored and it is now the Deleware State Performing Arts Center. A lively activity center located on the recently opened, pedestrianized Market Street Mall, the Grand is serving as a major focal point in bringing life back to downtown Wilmington."
