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."
Mayoral Candidates And Downtown, Chester Smolski
Mayoral Candidates And Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The next mayor of the city of Providence will have some hard decisions to make on the future of this city. There will be economic opportunities and constraints, social problems, political decisions and a host of questions to be raised and subsquently answered over the next four years which will shape the direction in which Rhode Island's capital city will move--and it is starting to move.
'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)."
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."
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."
Superlative Atlanta, Chester Smolski
Superlative Atlanta, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"With the passing of each year a new superlative is added: the third largest convention city; the third city in the post-war period to construct a rapid transit system; the second busiest airport in the world; the safest mass transportation system in the country; and with direct flights to London in the offing, this major commercial, industrial and financial center of the Southeast can truly claim to be a New International City. Atlanta is all of these."
New Spirit In Old Savannah - A City With Plans, Chester Smolski
New Spirit In Old Savannah - A City With Plans, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"A large downtown is normally characterized by tall buildings because demand in this most accessible location is strong, with intensive use of the land being the result. Approaching a city, as one looks off in the distance at the cityscape, one is able to quickly locate the central business district as, for example, one drives south on Route 146 toward Providence. Such is not the case in this serene and lovely, port city of Georgia."
Atlanta, Where The Eager Citizens Join In, Chester Smolski
Atlanta, Where The Eager Citizens Join In, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Atlanta calls itself the "New International City," and, without doubt, this magnet urban center of the South is drawing attention and money, and creating jobs on a vast scale."
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."
