History

Francis Wayland, President of Brown University
The square and Wayland Avenue are named after Francis Wayland, a Baptist pastor and president of Brown University.[1] Most of the area was developed in the early twentieth century with many Queen Anne style apartment buildings.[2] The area remained largely undeveloped until the twentieth century because of the marshy environment adjacent to the river. Today, the square features numerous businesses, houses of worship, and restaurants. It is also home to the Red Bridge, which crosses the Seekonk River.[3]
gollark: ... sure?
gollark: It is not a database.
gollark: > datetimeObviously I already stored that.> can revisions branch like in git?Nope.> tbh why not directly use git?- can't really store/manage structured metadata well- probably annoying to interface with- would require filesystem storage instead of my neat SQLite database thing- apioforms- merge conflicts- likely to end up as a somewhat leaky abstraction
gollark: I'll just leave that constantly as `()`.
gollark: Currently my thing™ just stores the size, which is a vaguely useful metric.
