As a longtime resident of Cranston, I don't think THE PEOPLE are asking too much to have the Cranston Pool restored . I recall its glory days in the early and mid sixties. I did enjoy passing through the new Itri Park last night with high spirited St. Mary's Feast crowd. Nice that somebody recognized the need for FRESH HOT popcorn . But during the day most of the benches and tables in Itri Park need more shade. Nobody is going to sit and bake on a sunny hot day for very long . SKIN CANCER is a consideration here ! I would not be surprised if RACISM were a factor in keeping the Cranston Pool closed : KEEP OUT THE PROVIDENCE RIFF RAFF ?
