1. There is already a providence construction thread in the greater and northern new england forum section. It is entitled "The Other "P" City" started by castevens

2. The reason there is a separate forum for northern new england type cities and not necessarily for providence is because at the time the site was re-done a bit a few months ago (when the northern was added) there were tons of posts about portland, manchester, and nashua eating up the "other cities" section, and only a few off and on again posts about providence.
There is a lot of development in san dieago, too, a lot more than in maine and NH. why dont we make a san diego forum because of that fact? because no one would post in it.
There are ten times the posts for northern new england cities and their environs than there are for providence, regardless of the development disparity that exists between these two areas.
