Thee Euston-Fairweather Registry of Hyper Links: Paper or Plastic Edition
*Two supermarkets are in the self-checkout line to completion. The first, an ALDI supermarket on Cranston Street, is set to Germanify your shopping list starting January 12. The other is the Stop & Shop at the former Warwick Nurseries. The plan review throwdown takes place at City Hall on Tuesday, January 12 at 7 PM, where company reps will probably try to convince us that they absolutely need to offer plastic bags. Be there, or be somewhere else.
*Donate your bra to fight breast cancer and help Lori Gonsalves-Casale bag a world record. In other news, the police and snow bag a burglar.
*The Projo interviewed Wicked actor Richard H. Blake. He never spoke Cranstonese, but that’s not to say that the stuck-up brother of a witch didn’t hang at Wein-O-Rama.
*The Amazing Race 1000, now with more Cranston.
*Cherie Faria had a 20 dollar bill and bought a winning piece of paper. If I had a million dollars, I’d buy everyone a bowl of Thai Orchid’s Tom Yam soup. And if the hot pepper and “thank you, honey” doesn’t warm you, then maybe Art Handy will.
*From an email: “Oh, okay. So I guess Cranston Style is, what, a monthly? I need my fix, Flamingo. Make with the prose and pictures and updates and whatnot already.” OK, well, here: Megan Weeden is the new children’s librarian at the William Hall Library in Cranston. Flamingo that.

Cranston is OK
A couple of years ago, someone contacted This Old House to nominate Eden Park for one of their “best neighborhoods” lists. Earlier this year, the editors of the magazine asked me to make a case for the nomination. Cranston made their “Best Old-House Neighborhoods“ list for March of 2010. But... more
