Long Island City.

When does the state house ever close after 5pm?!
-
I stand corrected.

Can I just say that I have fallen in love with Filomena Lupo. I have no idea who she is but she is SO nice, and she took a week of vacation from work just to go to the charrettes. She got a nice round of a place at one of the sessions. Love her!

Providence guinea pigs?

I'm sorry I couldn't attend. I hope to make the next meeting.

Rome has 2 subway lines and a great tram that runs from Largo Argentina up Viale di Trastevere. They attempted to build a third subway line but ran into important archaeological sites underground.

True. Depressing but valid points. I know it sounds trite, but "that stuff can (and does) happen anywhere."
-
I'd assume it's well-maintained because the federal government is responsible. Not that that says much these days...

It is in the Chace (upstairs) Theater at Trinity tonight at 5:30. It will go on, despite the snow!

Closer to downtown than Westminster? Westminster IS downtown!

Welcome, Desolation. We'd be happy to tell you more about our city!

The commuter is happening. That's what this thread is about.

This is a little off topic, but I've been meaning to mention it for awhile.
From my limited experience, I've found the opposite. Most of my friends who grew up in Providence have STAYED elsewhere after college (with the vast majority in New York and a few in Boston). I wish I could report otherwise, but that's the reality. Granted I grew up on the East Side and went to overly-expensive private school, so people had the mobility to leave...not many of us have come back voluntarily. Many of my friends claim they want to return "some day" but they'd rather spend these years in places like New York, LA or San Fran. I'm not going to argue that little PVD can ever compete with those places, but I think it's worth a discussion.

Ahem, Grants Block!

It's because buildings can't be taller than the Capitol Rotunda.

Thanks for the clarification, eltron.
-
Sorry, it was in poor taste. I would just rather we avoid being collectively distracted by skyscraper wars.
-
Skyscraper competitions = penis envy.
-
The engineering has already been completed and ready to go. It seems like the city wants to resolve LaSalle and Emett Squares first (undeniably easier projects). My sources tell me the planning department is up against the wall...asbolutely overwhelmed and understaffed to handle what is unprecedented activity for Providence.
-
A request for anyone who has more time (or interest) than I do: tally up the number of parking spots in surface lots in the Downcity/Capital Center area (or just Downcity). I'd be curious to see how many parking spots (I'd presume it's a pathetically small number) are holding back all sorts of development. If we could see that on a map, that'd be great as well. Thanks!

This is true. Perhaps southern-serving RIPTA buses should congregate in Warwick and allow people to take the train to Providence.

Cotuit---Might want to move these posts to Retail in Downcity Providence
What are they building there?

It will be Chinese Laundry, apparently opening in Mar or April. Owned by XO/Big Fish/Citron/Ten. Mills Tavern and Red Stripe are another restaurateur.
