Dear Friends and Neighbors,
July 2015
We here at University City District and the University City Review are pleased to present another edition of Close at Hand, our neighborhood directory of goods and services in University City.
As residents, you already know University City is more than just a neighborhood: it’s the region’s leader in education, science, and innovation, with world-class universities and medical institutions. University City is also a destination for food lovers and culture seekers, with internationally acclaimed dining, museums, and galleries. It’s a vibrant, close-knit community, full of idyllic parks and public spaces. We at University City District and the University City Review believe it’s unlike any other neighborhood in the region, and we are proud to be able to promote the businesses that help drive our community.
With such an abundance and diversity of local businesses in University City, we encourage you to use this directory to buy locally as often as possible. Supporting our one-of-a-kind businesses helps preserve the distinct character of University City, and will help the neighborhood continue to grow and thrive. These businesses are an integral part of what makes University City a great place to live, work, and play.
Be sure to frequently check in with us online as we continue to announce new and exciting developments throughout the neighborhood.
