The last of the steel for the seating structure was put into place today at a topping off ceremony.

Went by the S Attleboro station today on a Friday at about 9am. I counted just three cars in the commuter lot. The reopened station with a reduced schedule does not appear to be getting many riders.

It is looking good. They were taking down a massive tent on Sunday that was used for some part of the RISD graduation. The Guild is back with its beer garden every weekend and there were multiple food trucks. This was the first of the Sundays Providence Flea. Will be even better once the...

A view of Providence Flea in its new location in District Park on the west side of the river (it had previously been on the east bank).

This project would be on Riverfront Drive. I would think it may be the two undeveloped parcels (estending to Olive St) to the east of Riverfront and west of the MBTA station parking.

I would rather it be built on an already empty lot such as the one directly across the street (where the round design gas station once was).

This Parcel 14/15 building looks like it will be 99% residential with a single small first floor retail space. The residential portion is almost exclusively a near equal mix of studio and one bedroom apartments. What are the target demographics for potential residents? It would seem it is...

It will be interesting to see the effect here of the reopening of the nearby (<2miles) S Attleboro Station on May 20th. S Attleboro is set to only use the southbound (west) track platform until a new overpass is built. This will limit the number of stops. The station does however provide more...

In some surprising unexpected news today, MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng announced the South Attleboro Commuter Rail Station will be back in service starting May 20, with three inbound trips each morning and three outbound trips every evening. Boardings and departures will only use the west...

I think the decision to have all games at Bryant for the first season took some of the urgency off Tidewater Landing. Much of the big work was the site prep and foundation pour. It is all now done and the stand construction can probably proceed quickly once started. They basically now have...

Elsewhere in New England the South Street Power Station in Providence was converted into educational space a few years ago. The Brown Med School along with the nursing programs of both URI and RIC occupy it. The building underwent an extensive renovation and two new floors were added to its...

Attleboro has done a nice job in its downtown. The area around the train station, one of the busiest in the MBTA Commuter Rail network outside Boston), has seen a lot of housing units added (in both conversions and new construction). The linear river walking trail that snakes through this...

Rhode Island FC plays at Bryant University this season and had an inaugural sold out crowd of 5,252 at Beirne Stadium in Smithfield on 03/16/2024. The team scored a goal in stoppage time to earn a 1-1 draw with New Mexico United in its first ever game. Work was resumed at the Pawtucket...

I believe that another problem with liquor licenses is the consolidation of them in the expensive downtown area to businesses that mainly cater to the wealthy and out of town visitors. There has been a trend over the last several years for outer neighborhood establishments to close and sell...
