Downtown Pawtucket needs something like this badly. It would be great to see a quality bakery or restaurant go in down there, even better if its a culinary school.

A friend of mine just bought a building downtown and is putting in a full recording studio and performance space/gallery and talking about a cafe as well..

Has anyone heard any thing lately about the Pawtucket - Central Falls train station debacle? Last I heard the people living right near it were all for a cvs in that area. Shortsighted sprawl lovers are everywhere.

This is really a shame, but it speaks a lot more to credit contraction than the delays in a 110/W announcement.

Given the amount of money that he was willing to put up of his own, and the fact that the bank wanted so much collateral, I have to think that his business plan was highly speculative, and I have to assume that the fate of the Madhouse Cafe didn't help anything.

Saw this in The Fishwrap. They're looking for a new plan.

PAWTUCKET - Take a tour, buy a building.

That's what the Pawtucket Redevelopment Agency is hoping would-be developers will do when the former Old Colony Bank building at 347 Main St. is opened for tours Thursday at 10 a.m.

Developer tapped for Old Colony building. The former Old Colony Bank building at 347 Main St. just west of Park Place, shuttered for more than a decade, will be redeveloped for an architect's office and other uses following bid selection Tuesday by the Pawtucket Redevelopment Agency. http://www.pawtuckettimes.com/site/news.cf...24491&rfi=6

A Providence real estate developer has won the right to redevelop the Old Colony Bank building.

Here's my take on this proposal vis a vis some of the thinking associated with a study of sustainable development.

Three times is a charm? At least this time, they actually say something about what will happen when this deal falls apart.
