The April 9, 2008 Villager has a story about University of St Thomas (UST) unveiling new plans for Sitzman Hall. The University's new proposal is a scaled-down version of the 6,000 sf underground addition they originally proposed, which SARPA opposed.

Summit on the Internet

I came across a website called placeography that features a virtual tour of Summit Avenue. It's a "wiki" style website that can be edited by anyone (well, anyone with enough internet savvy to edit it). The tour features historical data about the houses on East Summit avenue, as well as photos. The also have a nice photo of the Nathan Hale sculpture at Summit and Portland avenues.
