President’s Report
Andy Freeburn, President
University City Community Association

Second ever newsletter in color at your doorsteps this June!

Mason Dixon Canyon For years the University City Community Association has tried to unify with our “Northern Brothers”, who may wish to be aligned with affluent La Jolla than Mayberry on Governor Drive. When one of us “Southerners” mentions the name of our community to most outsiders, they often confuse us with University Heights until we say the more readily identifiable moniker of “UTC.”

Visions of the shopping mall, high rise buildings, and condominium clusters come to mind. It’s true that we “Southerners” are proud of our slower and sequestered life style with focus on family traditions.

However, we’ve always welcomed friendly strangers at community events with a good dose of hospitality. All factions of University City are equally represented on the University City Planning Group but to the best of my knowledge there are no other groups which contain representatives from both sides of Rose Canyon.

While I understand north UC has fewer school aged children, more university students, and single professionals than south UC, I believe the summer concerts and UC Celebration are events which everyone could enjoy and participate in.

As the UCCA prepares to help with the many summer events, I invite our “Northern Neighbors” to participate in the planning and the performing. Without interaction between the two “sides,” University City truly will be a “House Divided.”

Thank you for supporting University City!
