Roundup of U City in the News

Here is a roundup of the latest goings-on in University City from media and other sources. 

I'd like to highlight two recent stories that St. Louis Post Dispatch reporter Margaret Gillerman wrote about University City.

Gillerman interviewed U City resident Amy Papian, who was packing up her home on Wilson Avenue after taking a buyout. Click here to read the article.

Gillerman also did a comprehensive job covering last week's approval by the City Council of an office building and a Walgreens on Delmar and Delcrest, in the west part of U City. Construction is expected to begin early next year, reports The St. Louis Post Dispatch.

In other U City news, State Rep. Rory Ellinger of University City talked Internet sales tax with Public News Service.

Last month's dedication of the Chuck Berry statue went global. The Toronto Sun ran a story. Reuters UK also had a story on the Berry statue dedication.

The story dominated local news here in St. Louis, getting mentions in the Post Dispatch, of course , KMOX and the St. Louis Beacon to name a few.

Music fans read about the dedication in Rolling Stone, or watched the dedication video on the website NME.
