The area around the new state lab will soon finally be meeting the original employment expectations for the 195 Knowledge district. It is right next to the 225 Dyer Street building and diagonally across from the new Brown Med School building under construction. Will soon have a contiguous...

I can remember when this building housed the Jailhouse Tavern, Legal Sea Foods, and a Margaritaville Mexican restaurant on the Commercial Street side some 35 years ago.

These are some of the new buildings that have opened on the URI Kingston campus in the last fifteen years: Brookside Hall Apartments - opened in 2020 Two buildings - 203,000 sf - $94M 500 beds - 4 and six person suites with separate kitchens and common area Fascitelli Advanced Engineering...

I think students and very young adults are the primary residents at The Arcade micro-lofts. As per the video, there are no stoves in the kitchens (but they do have dishwashers). I believe the building is zoned as a boardinghouse which does not allow for such appliances due to the fire code.

Anything done to the existing fine arts center will be an improvement. It is an extremely ugly Brutalist style cement structure that has been very much showing its 55+ year age. The exterior parts of the existing building being kept have been in the process of being clad with brick. Photos of...

There is typically always a building under new construction or renovation at the URI campus in Kingston. I thought it might therefore make sense to have a dedicated thread for these and provide some general information. University of Rhode Island Public land-grant research university founded...

Yes - disappointing. While the Pawtucket Red Sox had some of the positive factors you cite helping them, the franchise had been there for many decades and were playing in an old ballpark that opened in 1942 that was located in a working class residential/industrial neighborhood with few...

Today:

Brown doesn't waste time. Structure is already going up after a short site prep time.

A 2024 Polar Park average of 6,852 with total attendance of 479,636 is still disappointing when compared to the numbers the franchise once attracted. It had a sixteen straight year period from 1999-2014 at its former Pawtucket home where every season average was between 7,367 and 9,561 with...

The 2024 Minor League Baseball attendance numbers are out. The Worcester Red Sox drew a total of 479,636 to Polar Park for an average of 6,852 in 70 dates. The total attendance was off 40,025 from the previous season and 52,516 from their 2022 all time high. The 2024 average dropped...

He was on some of the first reality tv shows (RealWorld and Road Rules) and later was a tv host on Fox. His wife was a Real World and Road Rules cast member on MTV as well. In one person's mind, that makes him extremely well qualified.

You cannot get close as the area is all fenced off from the tunnel under Memorial Blvd to the building. I really hope that direct off road access from Waterplace Park to the ice rink will be restored again. I have a fear that the tunnel under the former Union Station that went by the skate...

I actually saw some workers outside the food court two weeks ago from the other side of the tunnel in Water place Park. First time seeing active construction at the site.
