I have a similar question about the university heights development in the Mt Hope area of the east side so if anyone has any links or a info please send them my way!

(Sorry if this is tangential just seemed like the people in this thread might know)

I posted this elsewhere in the thread, but just saw your comment – here’s a great resource that features Providence extensively with a focus on Mount Hope.

"lippit hill" gets a lot of results.

Here’s what I found to be a really good read from folks who lived there: https://www.stagesoffreedom.org/lippitt-hill-project

I was wondering a few days ago when the Whole Foods in the plaza was opened and then just fell down the rabbit hole. Gentrification in this neighborhood has been a point of tension for longer than a lot of us have been alive.
