See Providence tomorrow today

You may love your neighborhood, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

Residents of the Fox Point, College Hill and Wayland neighborhoods will get the chance this week to talk about what they think would make the areas nice.

In the fifth of a series of neighborhood get-togethers known as Providence Tomorrow, residents and municipal workers will discuss themes on a range of topics from parks and open space to the 1-195 relocation project.

Sessions will be held today through Thursday; today's and Tuesday's evening discussions will be more general, touching on visions and aesthetics for the neighborhoods.

Daytime programs will be held at the First Unitarian Church on Benevolent Street; evening workshops at the Lincoln School, on Butler Ave.
