Louttit/What Cheer Laundry Building

[f1rehead]

Looks like they're starting to demolish Loutit. There's some heavy equipment (one of those excavators with a jackhammer on the arm) back there now and it looks like they've been tearing at the roof.

I don't remember seeing the excavator a couple days ago, although I did notice that the vegetation had been trimmed back so I'm sure I would have noticed it if it were there.

Demolition has begun on the north side visible from Westminster St.

All gone.

So, what's going there?

My money is on the ever popular "nuthin" - A building style that Providence has really taken to new levels in the past couple years.

I'm putting my money on a parking lot for the new field house going up at Central High school. Have you seen that mess. We don't have money for textbooks but we can build a field house that rivals the Patriots training facility.

It's actually more than just a field house, it's the new Providence Career and Technical school.

I know precious little about this building, but I do know that technical training is really important to economic development right about now. If that's what they're building, it might just be a good investment - all built-environment issues notwithstanding. That said, I'm sure there are other ways to skin that cat...
