Crews demolished the former theater, after city officials late last month determined the crumbling building “presents an unsafe and imminent hazard to public safety” and moved to proceed with an emergency demolition, records show.

Paolino Jr., whose Paolino Properties has co-owned the site since 2019, said the plan is to make the property into a parking lot the neighboring Hotel Providence is anticipated to purchase, Paolino said. Brad Craig, the hotel’s general manager, said he had personally not received information about those plans and therefore declined to comment when reached on Monday. Like the movie stars that once graced its screen, the Rialto Theatre embraced myriad roles over the past 200 years. What would become the Rialto Theatre was originally the Westminster Congregational Church on Mathewson Street in Providence.

Harris County Judge candidates discuss important issues in debate ahead of Election Day
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Letitia Plummer and Orlando Sanchez faced off Thursday night to debate issues that matter to Harris County voters. Both candidates are former Houston City Council members and are running to succeed Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, who isn’t running for reelection. The hour-long debate covered issues like affordability, immigration enforcement, Flock cameras, data centers, and more. Flock CamerasHarris County has a contract with Flock. The surveillance company operates cameras that are a hot topic in security and surveillance debates. ABC13 found that the county has paid the company $1.3 million for its license plate reader system since 2023, according to invoices provided by the county auditor’s office. The candidates outlined what they would do if elected. “I am not going to support the Flock contract as it is. There has to be a public use policy; we need to know who has access to the information and how long the information is being held in that database. We have a challenge in our communities. Many black and brown communities specifically have challenges with privacy issues," Plummer said. “I listen to law enforcement.

People were dying to lease a home in a Brookline cemetery for a low price. RIP to those plans for now.
Looks like your application got buried. Brookline officials have canceled a bid to lease a home on the grounds of a local cemetery for three years, after dozens of people expressed interest in the caretaker job that came with reduced rent and maintenance responsibilities, authorities said. Friday at noon had been the deadline for submitting an application to lease the home at 96 Grove St., the headquarters of the Walnut Hills Cemetery, according to municipal records. But on Friday around 1 p.m., town Public Works Commissioner Erin Chute confirmed that the bid had been canceled. She said approximately 63 “interested bidders” had inquired about the unconventional lease. But the parties had so many questions, the town felt the need to clarify some details and reissue the request for proposals at a later date. “There were numerous questions that came up during the bid process that made it clear that the Town needed to revisit the bid and reissue it,” Chute said via email. ”There was also some misunderstanding that this is a Cemetery Caretaker Role," Chute added. “The rent of $3,000 per month was to be offset by $1,120 for 14 hours of work per week on the grounds etc.
