Dear UPHA Neighbor,
I've lived in University Park for almost twenty years, and I am still grateful every day to enjoy its beautiful streets and green spaces, kind and amazing residents, and wonderful convenience. We are truly lucky to call this little spot of earth home!
Our neighborhood is a connector between the past and future of Raleigh. From Historic Oberlin Village, documented by Ann Sides in this issue of News from the Hood, to the newly vibrant Hillsborough Street that Sallie Ricks reports on, we are a foundational cornerstone of the city. Many are recognizing the neighborhood's legacy and its charms, and we are seeing a lot of development requests and new transplants to the 'hood. Other residents have lived here for decades or generations, and a mix of blue- and white-collar professionals, academics, students, retirees, and young families provide a wonderful diversity to our community and its voice.
UPHA's mission is to unite and inform its residents, and your UPHA board of directors is working hard to honor that commitment. From monitoring development and planning community events to building a spirit of cooperation and partnership with residents, neighboring communities, and the City; these great individuals volunteer their time to represent you and University Park. I hope you'll enjoy the short profiles of board members we include in this and future newsletters.
Please also find a list of University Park information and resources as you browse. We'd love to have your input and talents on the membership committee, and we look forward to celebrating with you at an upcoming UPHA event. Be sure to put the UPHA July 4th Parade on your calendar!
I'm honored to be part of this great community and glad to be your neighbor!
With very best wishes to you from me and the UPHA team,
Clodagh Bastian
President
University Park Homeowners Association

Voices from the Neighborhood...
By Ann Sides
Memory Keepers: The Fields Sisters
When Letitia and Jeannette Fields were little girls, they skipped through meadows of trees and wildflowers where the Cameron Village shopping center now stands. Letitia remembers Bedford Avenue surfaced with hard clay and stones. Jeannette recalls a sawmill east of Oberlin road, and a stand of Christmas trees where apartments and shops exist now. Most of all, however, the octogenarian sisters remember the vibrant community spirit of Oberlin Village, a historic African-American settlement where children were brought up to value hard work, education, and family relationships.

Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation Reaches Out To The Neighborhood
By Sallie Ricks, UPHA VP of Community Development
Did you know that Hillsborough Street is part of a 3-mile long Raleigh Business Improvement District (BID), a special taxing district created to fund improvements for the Hillsborough Street area?
There is a non-profit partnership, the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation (HSCSC) formed between the City of Raleigh, NC State University, and the property owners/businesses on Hillsborough Street to make the Hillsborough Street community a distinct and attractive destination, an asset to the neighborhood, and to oversee combined funding sources for Hillsborough Street improvements.
