Idk- I don't think those two are necessarily correlated. I could easily see this being built and then some moron with no appreciation of architecture or history waltzing into Providence and knocking down ITB to build some ugly box 20 feet taller- I think that was Hasbro's idea.

If Widdett circle is developed I'd like to see the channel extended down into small canals through the development

Calling that building a "tower" is generous- but definitley the apartments will be a good thing for the community.

Caught a new train today- Love it, but the beeping doors will slowly drive me mad.

And taste it

Ik and the building is only maybe a couple stories taller than the old brick one across the street. It's not like its a neighborhood of small single family houses

Pittsburgh might be the most beautfiful city in the nation

The Roman one looks like it was designed by Phillip Johnson and Nero Gothic One needs to happen somewhere

The fact that Worcester couldn't afford to preserve two lovely buildings is sad and also the reason they lose nice things.

What if the Charlestown Elevated had been built all the way north to Malden like it had been intended? Or put in a subway like the town lobbied for? Probably no Haymarket North, but I wonder how the feels of the neighborhoods it would have passed through would change.

The individual windows do wonders for making it feel taller. One's eye just sees a glass curtain as a endless plane with no sense of scale. The little windows really put things in perspective.

Worcester "Improvements" .

In Barcelona they have small bumps every 7 feet or so on the side- I think a little raise at the side would keep peds from straying into the path

Tower looks like it should be in Atlantic City or Orlando, not Providence. I actually think it would look better glass-sheathed, rather than those horrible black window bands. Good to see development in such a great city, though.

I wonder what Zarilli would think of the new flood barrier idea and how some folks have proposed to run a highway/rail corridor over it.

Thanks, Nicanbot. I like those Wickenden apartments, Providence needs something like those.

I'm OK with boring if its in mass transit.

I still dislike it. If it were maybe a block or two north it would be good but now its just Jersey Shore meets Le Corbusier.

Can Ed bring back the awards, too?

Great photos! 1-93 really looks like a snake in 2 and 3.
