In 1999, the New York Times wrote, “Today this half-mile swath bears a new name, Waterplace Park, and with its new outlook hints of a Venice in New England. Much of the credit goes to the architect William D. Warner, who, though he didn t exactly part the asphalt, has created a model of urban revitalization, turning what was once a desert of hardtop and highway into a canal and promenade.”GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST

Vartan Gregorian the former President of Brown University and global intellectual force who led the resurrection of the New York Public Library and headed one of the most important foundations in America has died.
His personality and influence dazzled Providence. He was friends with Vincent “Buddy” Cianci and top American executives. Gregorian was an intellectual tour de force. The ebullient Armenian immigrant who climbed to pinnacles of academic and philanthropic achievement but took a detour in the 1980s to restore a fading New York Public Library to its place at the heart of American intellectual life, died on Thursday in Manhattan. He was 87. The death, at a hospital, was confirmed by his son Dareh Gregorian. No cause was given,” writes the New York Times.
