Keep in mind that the Boston Globe is owned by John Henry who is the principal owner of the Boston Red Sox which in turn have an ownership stake in the WooSox.

That small gray building is the Elks Club. The US Coast Guard Station is to its right.

Brady Sullivan, the developer, has done numerous mill conversions to residential use in RI. The American Tourister mill in adjacent Warren was one of their projects. If my memory is right, this project will also include a harbor walk around it and the old Armory(now harbor master) which will...

Went by there this weekend and there still appears to be little construction progress. Outside area is still all fenced off. The news articles from November 2023 that announced the Track 15 name along with some of the expected vendors listed Summer of 2024 as the projected open date. That...

Yesterday's (Tuesday 07-09-2024) announced crowd of 4,370 certainly did not help this year's attendance. It was the 12th game of the season that had numbers in the 3-4k range in the 9,508 capacity Polar Park. That is over a 1/4 of the 42 gate events thus far.

This source from a few weeks ago lists Worcester as having the tenth highest minor league baseball average attendance (6,405 thru the 06/09/24 home game) thus far for the 2024 season. While attendance is down overall in the minors to date, the WooSox finished sixth the previous two seasons...

The Telegram asked the Worcester Red Sox this question last season and the team refused comment. The paper was questioning the official announced attendance for early season games as it did not seem to reflect the actual number of people in the park. The general assumption was the number was...

The attendance for this past Saturday was only 7,135. That is almost 2,400 short of a sellout. Weekend games in July and August should be experiencing near sellouts to offset expected lower numbers on weekdays.

Attendance at Polar Park is trending downward this season. The average through 41 game gates is 6,462 (total 264,942) which equates to 68% capacity of Polar Park (cap 9,508). Four admission gates were lost due to rain and snow cancellations with three of them becoming part of Polar Park one...

Both sides of Seekonk River from Pawtucket to Providence and East Providence seem poised for future development. Pawtucket has the Tidewater Stadium under construction. Ground was broken on East Point in EP back in 2022 for a 300+ unit residential development (might be momentarily stalled)...

One of those Brown live cams also shows the progress of the RI State Lab project diagonally across the street. This corner will soon be a lot different with two 7 or more floor structures full of activity and workers.

Visible site work has finally started on this project. https://pbn.com/jewelry-district-buildings-demolished-ahead-of-brown-integrated-life-sciences-project/

I believe this area is hoped to one day be part of the Blackstone River Bikeway. There is a short off road bike section that now runs along the river from India Point Park and the East Bay Bike Path to Pittman Street a block south of this proposed development. North of here along the river...

It was my earlier post about counting just three cars in the S Attleboro lot on Friday, June 14th at 9am. It would appear that few are using it. Its reduced schedule and fees to park probably are a factor in this. To my knowledge, the Pawtucket station is still yet to charge for parking...

A new restaurant is opening up in the former Smokestack Barbecue location further indicating that the housing project for this site is dead for the forseeable future. https://www.telegram.com/story/business/2024/06/20/smokestack-bbq-worcester-lamei-hot-pot/74157847007/
