๐จ CHRIS COCKSโฆ WHAT PAWTUCKET ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? ๐คจ
Hasbro CEO Chris C***s recently explained to WBUR why Boston is a better fit for the company than Pawtucket. But some of his comments about our city were disappointing, to say the least.
๐ฝ๏ธ Not enough places to eat? Pawtucket has fantastic restaurants offering everything from Italian and Portuguese to Cape Verdean, Mexican, Afro-Caribbean, West African American and much more! Some are right along Newport Avenue, where Hasbroโs headquarters sits!
๐ป Nowhere to hang out after work? Really? Our city has restaurants, pubs, breweries, live entertainment, and plenty of places to socialize. Maybe theyโre not your preference, Chris, but that doesnโt mean they donโt exist! Also, like youโre really going out after work and hanging with your colleagues. Riiiight! ๐คจ
๐ And Uber Eats takes 40 minutes, leaving your food cold? Come on now! Where exactly are you ordering from? Also a 40 minute order doesnโt mean 40 minutes of travel, and without actual delivery data, thatโs a pretty unfair picture to paint.
๐ HEREโS MY BIGGEST ISSUEโฆ
Hasbro has every right to move to Boston. Thatโs a business decision. That to me sounds like they were leaving come hell or high water. But after more than 100 years in Pawtucket, youโd think its CEO could show a little more respect for the city and the hardworking small business owners who help keep it going.
Pawtucket isnโt perfect. We know that better than anyone. But weโre not going to sit quietly while someone Harvard soft serve, paints our city as a place with nothing to offer.
