I believe the name University City was first bandied about in the early 70's
and not the 60's. Also Powelton Village and Sansom Village (remember that?).
It helps to have grown up here.
University City has become a brand now promoted by the UCD. This is true.

University City isn't a good name for this neighborhood because Omar Blaik

Re: [UC] New voice in the anti-gentrification movementCome on Kathleen. Tony is
not shedding light on some terrible controversy about the names. As Sharrieff
pointed out some time ago the message most of us get from the stickers is more
than a debate about names. It has nothing to do with the
University City's so grand,
Now that it is an elegant brand,
Where things once looked so glum
That they called us a slum,
We've got gentrification at hand.

Very good people indeed!
I don't see HOW they can deal with ALL those CATS!!!
I have two former death row inmates, (from a shelter). As far as I am
concerned if one has more than one cat, one might as well hand them the
title and keys to the property.

Also, would they accept volunteer labor such as mucking out or clipping
claws or do they just need mostly monetary donations?

Sorry. What I meant to say was that was when the full-fledged effort to
make the neighborhood over began during the early 70's.
Of course the Federal Homesteader's Grants began in earnest during the late
60's, but it was very low-key.
In reference to the 1963 mention of University City, forgive
See now, that¹s dangerous for someone like me.
I could not bear to give them up and next thing you know, I would be the

I do like training kittens, though.

he directed at The Met, even thought the opera itself is supposed to
be terrible.
Sadly, I missed Ming-liang Tsai's I Don't want to Sleep Alone, too.
