This is low key one of the neatest historic relics in R.I., imo

60 years ago, every Main St. in America had a J.J. Newberry 5&dime - this one built in the Arctic section of W. Warwick in 1921.

Store is long gone, but the facade is a relatively unaltered reminder of the past

Cool study on the positive psychological effects of sidewalk murals. Local governments seeking low-hanging fruit to improve citizen well-being should ensure funding for public art and placemaking - a cost-effective urban health intervention. #neurourbanism
