New Restaurant at Providence Public Library- an asset to the place

4 views Aug 21, 2024 Upscale , high price coffee? Homeless visitors to public library not welcome? On the whole an asset to the Providence Public Library. I had my first cup of coffee there today before leaving for Kennedy Plaza. On the way to that forlorn bus terminal I was approached separately by two homeless derelicts for cigarette money . But cigarettes now cost more than 10 dollars a pack , I muttered. Their look : " Anything will help ". I think : How can any poor person addicted to cigarettes not be living in a cardboard box ? NOTE : CIGARETTE PRICES BY STATE : New York $11.96 Rhode Island $11.71 Connecticut $11.60 Massachusetts $11.11 Minnesota $10.49 Alaska $10.46 Hawaii $10.41 Maryland $10.26 Illinois $10.16 Washington $10.14 *Were the District of Columbia included in this metric, it would have the nation’s second-most expensive pack price at $11.75.
