Greater City Providence

Infill development in Quahog

The other night, watching an old episode of Family Guy on one of the 37 stations it airs on, as one does, I noticed something about the Drunken Clam.

The clam used to have a surface parking lot next to it. Looking at later episode one notices a new building on that surface lot.

Good work Mayor West on having policies in your city that promote the redevelopment of surface parking lots into new buildings.
