Subject: A vision for Making Kennedy Plaza great again
To: letters <letters@providencejournal.com
For years now this RIPTA rider has found waiting for a bus in Kennedy Plaza only slightly less depressing than riding a bus through the city of Pawtucket to the Slater Mill area where the still bleak rushing waterfall reminds me of the cheerless beginning of American capitalism during the Industrial Revolution .
Anyway , shivering in Kennedy Plaza waiting for Bus 21 ( a trip to Harrington Hall for numerous " under-privileged " others ) I had this decidedly " constructive " thought : " If you build it , THEY will come ". Build what ? All that useless,
windy, empty walking space in the middle of Kennedy Plaza- what it needs is a real COMFORT area for RIPTA regulars .
Why not a nice, unpretentious BAR & Cheap Meal there, not quite an upscale Foxy Lady ? And why not a medical marijuana COMPASSION CENTER there with GUESTS and VISITORS WELCOME sign ? Also, spacious and clean PUBLIC REST ROOM ?
RIPTA passengers just passing through dreary Downtown Providence- or just passing through life- will appreciate this visionary inspiration come true.
