Yah I don’t want Hyde Park to turn into a replica of University City - that’d be no good. At the same time, I’ve known Hyde Park for literally the past 20 years, and it just doesn’t seem like much at all has changed. Sure, there are a few new restaurants or some restaurants change ownership. There isn’t, though, any sort of “student buzz” to the area, and I dunno how that hasn’t happened yet. UPenn has all the shops along Walnut, Columbia has its row of bars and restaurants, Brown has Thayer St, etc. U of C still has nothing like that.
