Reluctant skybridge walker

I am almost a professional pedestrian with a very pedestrian

    point of view. A number of times I have " trespassed " the Westin hotel

    on my way to Providence Place. That's just it : I felt RUDE doing this.

    A blue collar guy might have very radical ideas like egalitarianism. But

    he is still haunted by  Victorian manners.  Passing through elegance in

    my prole garb is just as awkward as it would be for a gentleman to pass

    through a YMCA locker room in a tuxedo. Definitely out of place !

             The problem is that from the very beginning very little attention

    was paid to the needs of pedestrians who wish to use a CITY mall.

               At least station traffic police at that very dangerous intersection

    where downtown people are -hopefully - trying to reach Providence Place.

               In the golden socialist future the owners of the place will be

    dealt with in true Bolshevik fashion. For now we will make concessions to

    middle class politeness.
