When the Superior court failed to do its job keeping defendants in line ensuring court rules are…read morefollowed, but you are pro se, the courts abuse you even in blatent violations. Did you know that the Superior Court accepts lles? So now you have to contend with a deceitful healthcare system, egotistical providers as defendants very skilled at lying, partnered with dirty attorneys given a free pass to lie to the court, under oath. Isn't that perjury? Then you appeal that judge's bogus ruling, with case law and rules for civil procedure on your side to get "closed before decision", then reargue to be denied, then as is customary in decisions there is something that provides the basis for the decision. I filed a motion for the reason it was denied, which the defense objected to and then the court closed it, without providing a reason for their decision. Just sounds like back door politics to me. Typical RI. We will see what the next hearing enlightens us with. Again, defendants lied to the court, provided false legal support and should be denied. Update will follow.

Providence City Hall is the center of the municipal government in Providence, and is located at the…read moresouthwest end of Kennedy Plaza at 25 Dorrance Street. The building was constructed between 1875 and 1878 and designed by Samuel J. F. Thayer in the Second Empire style. In 1975, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; it is also a contributing structure to the broader Downtown Providence Historic District. Though the area around it has changed over the years, Providence City Hall remains a constant in downtown Providence. The cast iron and masonry structure witnessed the evolution of Exchange Place into Kennedy Plaza, two hurricanes, and multiple cycles of economic depression and growth. Initially, Providence's municipal government was located in the crowded Market House, across the Providence river. Needing a bigger space, alderman were split on where to put a new city hall. Half of the council lived on the east side of the river, and half on the west, causing a thirty-year struggle over where to put the new government building. Eventually, the west side won and the cornerstone was laid on June 24, 1875. In the 1950s the city's downtown master plan called for the demolition of City Hall, but it was saved and restored, reflecting the city's pride in its historic roots. Many city departments can be found in this building...including Tax collection, Board of Canvassers, Board of Licenses, City Archives, City Council, Public Works, Municipal court, Mayor's office, and much more. I usually go into the building for things related to my tax bill or a few years ago to get my marriage license. Anyway, a beautiful building reminiscing of a French government building in the heart of Providence.

The "Gun Totem" was constructed in 2001 with guns from a firearm buy-back program in Pittsburgh. Altogether, more than 1,000 guns went into the construction of the pillar, which was commissioned by the Providence Parks Department. All of the guns included in the project were disabled and fossilized beneath concrete, and bits of the pillar were chipped away so people could see the deadly layer beneath the its exterior. This is a monument for all who want peace and want to trade in their guns to make a permanent symbol of harmony and amity.

Considering that it is located in such a busy spot, the statue is in amazing condition. On the stone base, a bronze plaque lists the main theaters of the war - Philippine Islands, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the USA - and Spanish War Veterans. Atop the statue, a determined looking young man stands in the uniform of the day with floppy had and holding his rifle in both hands (not great trigger discipline). Hostilities between Spain and the United States began in the aftermath of the internal explosion of USS Maine ("Remember the Maine!") in Havana Harbor in Cuba, leading to U.S. intervention in the Cuban War of Independence. The war led to the U.S. emerging predominant in the Caribbean region, and resulted in U.S. acquisition of Spain's Pacific possessions. That led to U.S. involvement in the Philippine Revolution and later to the Philippine-American War. 385 Americans were killed (plus 2061 from disease) and 1662 were wounded during the war.

Not only…read moreis John Calcagni uncommonly clever, but he is the perfect combination of sensible, empathetic, alarmingly honest, and wonderfully capable of projecting all of these qualities onto the jury. Watching John in Court is a true joy. No one gets to see attorneys immerse themselves so completely in their cases anymore! During your first meeting with John, he lays out for you the many ways that your case could take. Then, he elaborates on how he will redirect, counter, or avoid altogether the varying strategies opposing counselors will use. After having worked with and opposite to more than two thousand attorneys during my 52-year career, I can honestly say that I trust John with my own life as well as (and, more importantly to me) with the lives of my family members. John Calcagni III is the attorney who attorneys call for help!

Just opened in 2011, it replaced the smaller previous library that has now become the courthouse. The library is on a small hill and does indeed look new and nice from the outside. Huge windows in the front let in lots of natural light and the inside is still all clean and even still smells new. The library has several nice displays including one of old, local postcards and a very cool exhibition of zillions of brightly colored toy soldiers. Nice when libraries are decorated and turned into more than just places to store books, magazines and computers. The bottom floor has a very nice children's area for young delinquents to run and around and have fun, and lectures and programs so they just possible might learn something. Not a historical or aesthetically overwhelmingly impressive library but a very pleasant, functional, useful and friendly library that is a nice place to relax with a book, do some research or just meet some new friends.
