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."
Seeing The City Through Suburban Eyes, Chester Smolski
Seeing The City Through Suburban Eyes, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"American cities are, in the minds of many, quite intimidating. They are congested, noisy, dirty, too difficult to drive in, and, of course, the home of muggers, rapists and murderers. For these and other reasons, too many people avoid the opportunities and fail to appreciate the joys that come with city experiences."
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
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.'"

Tourism's Full Potential Waiting In Wings For R.I., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Question: What industry in this country involves 8 million consumers daily, employs between 4 and 6 million people directly, generates nearly $200 billion in annual expenditures and is our second largest retailing activity? If you answered tourism, you are correct."
Seeing Our Capital City As Outsiders View It, Chester Smolski
Seeing Our Capital City As Outsiders View It, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"There it was, sandwiched between stories on 'Castles in Spain' and 'Arizona's Indian Country,' a feature piece on Providence, Rhode Island. Again, a national magazine, in this case the latest issue of Travel/Holiday, has chosen to single out our capital city as a place to visit, to explore and to enjoy."
A 2% Room Tax Would Help Providence Sell Itself, Chester Smolski
A 2% Room Tax Would Help Providence Sell Itself, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They've done it again! There it was as a feature story on page A14 of the April 7 issue, with pictures of the Arcade, Benefit Street and the mayor of the city included. The New York Times once more has singled out Providence, Rhode Island as a city on the move, one which is reclaiming its historical heritage and one which has a "resurgent city center.""
Disney Plans City Of Tomorrow, Chester Smolski
Disney Plans City Of Tomorrow, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has been called Florida's 68th county, yet few of the millions of visitors to this fantasyland center of family entertainment realize the magnitude of the Walt Disney Productions' presence here."
Orlando Thrives Next To Disney World, Chester Smolski
Orlando Thrives Next To Disney World, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They call it an old city--it was incorporated in 1875 with 85 residents. By 1900 the numbers had grown to 2,500, and before World War II 37,000 people were living in this agricultural center located in mid-Florida. But it really took off after the war."
