The Crossing at Smithfield in Rhode Island is not showing, once more, any signs of the spirit of the season. The place is mostly bare and cold looking. Whoever is responsible is not considerate of the public who long for decorative places that reflect Christmas similar to the way cities like downtown Providence decorated for Christmas so long ago and the way some public places or businesses still decorate today.
The beautiful and festive decorations were always a stark contrast to the dark and dreary weather and shorter daylight and leafless trees. It was a sign of hope and it cheered up the hearts and minds of people going through hard times. But The Crossing at Smithfield is the spirit of the Grinch and that sad and lifeless spirit is strongly visible. Nothing but a cold, depressed, joyless, sad and pathetic appearance. Not even the street lanterns are decorated with wreathes! 😩
