As construction advances on restoring the street grid in the Jewelry District, the contractors' decorative scheme gets more and more elaborate.
    This view at the corner of Ship and Clifford streets shows a rainbow of hieroglyphics, runes, secret symbols and who knows what all else.
    The Mayor's Grafitti Patrol just cleaned several sets of tags off the 110-year old brick walls at 116 Chestnut.
    Maybe we should have persuaded the crew to go around the corner and clean up that Jackson Pollacked intersection, too.
    These tags on street and sidewalk will be here long after the construction crews have vanished.

The plan calls for renovation of the South Street Power Station (Dynamo House) for administrative functions and educational space for Brown and shared nursing schools for Rhode Island College and the University of Rhode Island. In addition the plans include new construction to provide student housing for approximately 296 graduate students, structured parking for 600 cars plus retail space.
