Most people call it the Superman Building. It’s resemblance to the building Superman can leap in a single bound is stronger than a powerful locomotive. It’s not the same building, as most people realize. http://www.projo.com...93.16028ae.html

and he manages to throw a few jabs at GTECH in there.  why does anyone bother reading him?  he doesn't discuss architecture, he just bashes GTECH.  critics generally give reasoning behind their critique.  he seems to bash for bashings sake.

What a shame. Such a fine upscale venue.

Providence orders Sportsman’s Inn to close for 10 days.  City license regulators have ordered a 10-day shutdown of the Sportsman’s Inn for failing to control its premises the night seven weeks ago that a patron shot and wounded three people.

The George C. Arnold Building, erected in 1923 on Washington St. in downtown Providence, was not damaged so badly that it can’t be repaired. The owner, Pat Cortellessa, has insurance. Even before the fire, he was fixing up the building

Not trying to libel anyone, but... really? "He was fixing it up!" uh-huh. Maybe he was, I'm just saying.

If they weren't fixing it up before they will have to now.   Good luck to them and all businesss downtown these days.

Here's a very interesting article from projo on downcity construction projects.

Did Downtown Providence’s boom go bust? The construction cranes that towered over downtown for years are gone. There are empty lots where buildings once stood. Plans for boutique hotels and office towers have evaporated.

That story was good until they interviewed Paolino.  As if he's ever had anything good to say.
