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...

Wheeling-Pitt Building - Wheeling, WV

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...

The immediate focus should be on the lives of all those that may have been on the bridge when it collapsed. It is believed that not all have yet been accounted for and sonar is showing several vehicles underwater. After all rescue and recovery activity is completed, the focus will be...

I believe that the Abby Kelly Foster Middle School building at 10 New Bond street may have once been the Heald Machine Co. It made grinding machines and was eventually bought by Cincinnati Milacron in 1974. It was closed in 1992. I toured this facility in the mid 1980's when a student at WPI...

The residential project at the corner of Richmond and Friendship Streets. It involves the renovation of existing space along with new construction. Here are two views:

A photo of construction progress that was taken today:

Construction update on the Parcel 9 Phase 1 mixed-use, mixed-income family development in Providence, Rhode Island. This is next to the Holy Rosary Church across from Trader Joe's by the S Main Street off ramp from Rte 195 west. The project will transform the vacant 1-195 Redevelopment...

No signs of any construction activity yet for this project. Took this photo of the site today:

Still slow progress at the food hall in the former Capitol Grille location. This photo was taken today from the tunnel under Memorial Blvd looking south toward the old Union Station. The area around it is now all fenced off.

The developers have already scaled back this project due to neighborhood blowback. They then presented their revised plans at a recent public forum where they encountered continued NIMBY opposition. Would not be surprised that many of these same people often complain of about the...

The latest update has RIPTA now looking at the 195 District Parcel 35 for its transit center. This site is near Route 95 between Friendship and Clifford Streets. It's location is well outside the downtown core. https://www.ripta.com/phase-i-of-riptas-p3-project-underway/...

Given where this is located about halfway between the Emerald Square and Wrentham Outlets shopping areas, I do not think a big scale development was likely. This seems to fit in well with what Wimpy Kid series author Kinney has already done with his Unlikley Story bookstore. I can remember...

103 Evergreen St | Mount Hope Neighborhood | Providence New construction development of 58 residential units. Small studio apartments with some just 203sf. Evergreen St runs from N Main Street (across from the North Burial Ground) to Camp Street. Development would be near Camp...
