Source: RWU begins work on new Bristol campus centerpiece (News) Submitted: July 24th, 2008 - 7:18pm link

As an alum, and RWU Gabelli School of Business advisory board member, I am pretty excited about this project. The Bristol campus has always been a beautiful and inspiring place to be. Even more so with this. And the global emphasis of new media and language at the university and this building is a great strength for the state.

I guess in Northern RI we are pretty lucky with all the food choices around here !

Never more than 10-15 minutes away. Several places in Woonsocket in the old mills (Gian Carlos, Vintage, River View...) are great, the new Italian place Luciano opened up across from Lincoln mall, the Chinese place in Lincoln Mall, all the amazing stuff in Prov, and the great value at places like Fortune House in Cumberland (who we're calling for take out tonite...) You can eat for $10-40 /person and experience a very wide variety of foods and environments.
