Pawtucket/Central Falls is a disused railroad station located in the Rhode Island cities of Pawtucket and Central Falls. The station was originally built in either 1915 or 1916 by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad as a replacement for two separate stations in both Pawtucket and Central Falls and was built over the tracks.
The station was served by New Haven Railroad trains, then later by MBTA Commuter Rail until February 20, 1981.

An axiom from economics popular in the 1960s, the words have no known source, though have been dated to the 1840s, when they were used in saloons where snacks were offered to customers. Ascribed to an Italian immigrant outside Grand Central Station, New York, in Alistair Cooke’s America (epilogue, 1973)
“Already nature is serving all those uses which science slowly derives on a much higher and grander scale to him that will be served by her. When the sunshine falls on the path of the poet, he enjoys all those pure benefits and pleasures which the arts slowly and partially realize from age to age. The winds which fan his cheek waft him the sum of that profit and happiness which their lagging inventions supply.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
