A great picture to post. Notice the word "Castro" on the awning - A reference to Castro Street in San Francisco ? Providence is run by the gay community which wields its power in every arena it can.
The Castro in the picture is of the Castro Cafe in Providence which is owned by two women, one of whom Cianci recently appointed as a Gay Liason (an Official City Position/appontment).
Here's a
LINK to a story about this appointment.
Here's part of the article:
PROVIDENCE -- Mayor Vincent A. Cianci Jr. announced yesterday the appointment of two new liaisons to the gay and lesbian community, replacing W. Fitzgerald Himmelsbach, who resigned following reports that four men may have contracted syphilis at a gay club he runs.
Cianci has tapped two people for the part-time liaison position, a job held for the past four years by one official.
Alexis M. Gorriaran, co-chairman of the Rhode Island Pride Committee, and Lorianne Green, the co-owner of the Castro Cafe on the East Side, are City Hall's new link to the issues affecting gay and lesbian residents, such as hate crimes and discrimination issues.
