Reply to comment by fishyburner47 in Burnt smelling air near Rhode Island Hospital by fishyburner47
That makes sense. There have been posts in the past of either Rhode Islanders that rarely come that area or temporary residents that complain and want to cause a ruckus.
I’ve smelled that smelly smell that smells smelly for decades. It’s not a constant thing though
I feel bad for those that live near there. it’s an industrial area for a reason. Oddly enough I never really smell it on my bike rides down Allen’s Ave during the warm weather

Yea, they should move that kind of stuff away from downtown and especially the hospital. Seems weird that it’s there.

Well the plant was there before the hospital by over 50 years
So the question is, why did they build hospitals across from an industrial port and an asphalt plant back in the 1950s

No the hospital has been there since the 1850s.
Still your point stands as I'm sure the old coal port has and was built around the same time
