I saw the huge column of smoke around 8:20 this morning. It appeared all of a sudden and it was impossible to tell how far away it was. I actually called 911.

The FD is declaring the building a complete loss. I'm not familiar with that particular mill, but I hate it whenever one of these old buildings is lost.

Random question.....what happened to the trees along Armistice Blvd? There were trees there weren't there? I swear I remember it having trees in the strip lining the middle, nice trees that made the street look more pleasant....then I came back from being out of the country for a bit and now I'm wondering if I'm crazy and there were never trees there in the first place. It is suspicious that there are empty squares of dirt along the middle strip though...... Why in the name of chaos would the city remove these trees!? Does Pawtucket not look industrial enough as it is?

There were trees up and down Armistice in the median when I lived in the Bucket last summer. They're gone??

[brick]

they were also there at least at the beginning of May during blooming season.

Are you sure you were on Armistice?

[Bil]

Yeah, the Armistice Blvd trees are definitely gone. I was up there last month wondering the same thing. (And questioning my memory of whether or not there ever were trees up there...)

The trees were diseased and had to be cut down...I will find out when the new trees will be planted and post on Pawtucket Urban Planet site.

Thank you! Sorry to hear the trees were sickly, but I'm happy to hear there may be new trees planted. They did make the blvd. look spiffier.
