Given the location it doesn't make sense. The owners don't have enough imagination.

I used to go there in the early 1980s, there was a lot of traffic. The upper floors are micro-apartments now, right? Like Japan sized, 300 square feet? It's a lovely space. A shame it's not used.

It was laughable when Former Guy said he wanted people to migrate from Norway. What Norwegian in their right mind would give up socialized healthcare, college, retirement, long term care, childbirth benefits, etc?

AAPI population Providence 6% but honestly since many are scholars connected to Brown RIC PC URI, they might not be voters. I don't think anything nefarious going on here. I am Asian American.
