Jen Cole, the estimable "tree lady" of Providence, continues her victory lap tomorrow in what doubles as the rescheduled holiday part for the local faction of Urban Planet, the urban planning discussion group:

Join us for drinks (and maybe cake) and for lively discussion about the past year in Providence development and urban matters, and to bid Jen farewell:

Congrats to Marion and John on the Blackstone's terrific new location at the Hope Artiste Village complex in Pawtucket, not far from the Providence line. It's a cool spot, and the presence of some other local luminaries -- including New Harvest Coffee -- are bringing fresh life to this part of town. I got to check it out during a well-attended recent open house, and it's a welcome development for the Bucket.
