PROPOSED: OneEleven Fountain (Fogarty Bldg.)

[Jerry2]

I would love for a new cuban, .

[dgreco]

Were you inspired by my avatar Cuban motif? lol Their food is hardly authentic but it is a tasty treat albeit expensive. For all you Armory residents, you can get an authentic Cuban sandwich on Dexter St. at Dexter St. deli further down near the Gas Co. The last time I went it was $3 and the owners are from Cuba....super tasty and worth the walk and/or drive.

dgreco, your post implies that you don't know that there is going to be a new Cuban. It is right next to Gracies on Aborn St. and should be open by XManzanakuh, the last I heard.

The big ugly red stone and glass one? The Blue Cross Blue Shield Building.

Did somebody post a variant of this picture (or one very much like it) here recently?

I could have sworn I saw such a creature, but now I can't find it.

[dgreco]

I just don't understand why they couldn't squeeze in some more surface parking on there.

[runawayjim]

I don't know providence that well, but did they have all that as surface parking?

[JJK5]

if you look at an old pic before the mall was built, there was a lot of surface parking in that area.

[dgreco]

Someone posted an aerial once that was from the early eighties I think looking northwest over kennedy plaza towards the statehouse. Seeing downtown before the mall, marriot, westin, and nothing but train tracks and parking blew my mind. My first experiences with Providence were only a couple years ago and it just blows my mind that it was so different just 15-20 years back.

Nice picture, it refreshes me a little more, but its very weird to see it. For you "older" people here it must of been nice to see the first transformations of the city.

I know we are far afield here, but I think the best thing about that pic is the tower rising off of India Point. So even with a crapty plan like this, they put some height over there, much to the delight of East Siders everywhere, I'm sure.

[Liamlunchtray]

Where exactly is this? I had no idea it existed. Which end of Dexter are we talking about, by Westminster & the Armory or by Huntington Ave?

[Jerry2]

I didn't know it was closed. That's a shame. They had great sandwiches.

Back to the original topic and after looking at the Springfield thread, I completely forgot that the Basketball Hall of Fame was supposed to be the major tenant for the Fogarty Building. They were very interested in coming to Pvd. Anybody know what ever happened to that?

[AriPVD]

I believe it was the New England Sports Hall of Fame, not the basketball Hall of Fame.

[CtownMikey]

so is the NE sports hall of fame looking for a place to go?

[mental757]

did this get talked about at last night's meeting. Is it to be demo'd or rehab'ed???
