Reply to comment by FunLife64 in Three years after closing for renovations, Providence’s Duck & Bunny plans to finally rebuild by rhodyjourno

The building was extremely charming and beautiful. Most of the reason I and many others enjoyed going there was because of the cozy and beautiful historic interiors. If they rebuild, that’s great, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Looks like you fell for the interior design. The article says the interiors were decked out with Home Goods items. It was old. It was not historically significant.

I never said it was historically significant, just that the attractive, charming old building was most of the reason I ever went there and I’m sure I’m not the only one. The rush to demolish the building without a real, timely plan to rebuild left a bad impression on many members of the community, including myself. If they actually rebuild, I wish them the best of luck. Not so sure cupcakes are quite the draw they were back in 2010, but I guess we’ll see.

I mean it was in theory - but what you see on the surface only means so much. I don’t doubt it was going to be a ridiculous, unrealistic cost to “make right”. Nobody was going to pay that - and anyone that would would have made it something people would have said doesn’t fit in (places that require huge investors are never charming or quirky).

Everyone loves to complain!
