Happy Birthday, Buddy Cianci! Providence still owes you a toast (and maybe an apology or two) for transforming our humble city into the vibrant metropolis it is today. Sure, your methods might have been unconventional—some call them creative—but hey, nobody ever accused you of being boring!From revitalizing downtown to championing WaterFire and making Federal Hill sparkle again—you've left quite the legacy. And let's be honest: who else could pull off running City Hall by day and facing racketeering charges by night? Here's hoping your birthday cake doesn't come with any hidden files baked inside this year!
