5 years ago today, downtown Providence businesses boarded up, fearing a repeat of widespread vandalism, looting that had happened a few nights earlier after George Floyd's death. So much plywood that Westminster St. smelled like a Home Depot.
PBN's Katie Castellani (@Katie_c912) pulls off a cool version of a "rookie move"...

The new bench swings at India Point Park remind me of the swings in Burlington Vt.'s waterfront park. Except the view of the Adirondacks from the Burlington swings cannot be matched in Providence unfortunately.
Providence's India Point Park is already a jewel. And now... it's getting a "major makeover"

.@Katie_c912 checked into R.I.-related lease cancellations by DOGE and had to break the news to a landlord and a NOAA employee that the agency is apparently closing its office in the Port of Galilee in Narragansett.

That grassy plot behind Trader Joe's in Providence is going to stay that way for the foreseeable future because a $70M project anchored by BankRI's new HQ has been halted... pbn.com/plans-for-70m-projec… via @Katie_c912
The developer for Parcel 14/15 along Providence River has submitted reworked plans (left) for a 214-unit apartment building. (The ghostly white buildings are a future phase) The old 198-unit plans are on the right. Thoughts?

Trivia about Trinity Brew's location: During WWII, it served as The Journal Canteen, where servicemen could dance with USO hostesses. In early '45, Anthony Quinn appeared there for his film "Back to Bataan." Neon sign seen top left hung in ProJo cafeteria until 2016. ProJo photo

Goodbye to Tony Soprano's favorite newspaper. After 86 years, The Star Ledger will publish its final print edition tomorrow.
A sad moment on Atwells Avenue in Providence this morning...
The Federal Hill equivalent of the Independent Man being taken off the Statehouse dome. Except this sign isn't going back up #RIPOldCanteen
Anybody in Providence just feel an earthquake? Our building downtown was swaying much like it did during that earthquake last year.
Good news for the new operators of Providence Place.
The Macy's at that mall, plus the ones at Warwick Mall and Emerald Square Mall, were NOT on the closure list of 66 stores. Actually, kinda surprised the store at Emerald Square is sticking around. cnn.com/2025/01/10/business/…
Rang in 2025 with a ride to R.I.'s new cross-border bikeway connection into Mass. (the state line is marked anticlimactically with a small stone pylon) and includes a cool traverse over a rehabbed old train viaduct about 200 feet into Blackstone.
Strange story. Two months of 3 paychecks has been the case every year since biweekly paychecks were invented. And it will continue every year until the end of time and biweekly paychecks.
Employees who get paid on a biweekly basis can expect two months with three paychecks in 2025. newportri.com/story/money/20…

Wonder how many are in the same boat.
