From THE CLOUD - a new vision for dreary Kennedy Plaza

    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.
