Dear Neighborhood Alliance Readers,
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Kwaanza, Blessed Agnosticism, and Great Winter Solistice, and Joyous Atheism to all,
The city and "Pawtucket Times" announced a new department store will open before March 2010 in downtown Pawtucket on Main Street at the former Toole Hardware and Salzman's Department Store. The new store, Artee Homes, a high class textiles shop and furniture store will occupy the century old brick, five story, building.
A few concerns: Does this mean Main Street, High Street, and East Avenue will finally be made into two way traffic to accommodate new shoppers? In addition to the parking garage, will there be new parking spaces behind Main Street, where the Boys and Girls Club once stood?
In closing, what other businesses are being planned for the revitalized Main Street?
