That's something to be proud of. I do recall seeing a Quizno's in downtown Providence when I last visited there. I'd much rather see a Quizno's or Subway there than a McGarbage over there (like we don't have enough of the Fatty Arches). This is one list I'm glad to see Providence at the top of.

Donuts are an essential part of the new food pyramid!

While this is great publicity for the city I just don't see where we are such a great place to do business.

I would like to see the crieria used for the assessment....i.e. I need to see evidence. I wonder what the jump is related to. Perhaps, they see the economic development as a barometer for a good place to do business. Unfortunately, the two are not always related.
