Even though UB is not technically in Mount Vernon (the city has it from Franklin St to Eager St), it is in my head. So I am going to extrapolate on that and just assume the same goes for everyone else. Belvedere/Midtown/Mount Vernon/Mount Royal whatever, it's all along my running route.
Send me pictures! For real...I think we could do a lot to rep the neighborhood. UB is ridiculously lucky to be in this area (and residents lucky to have UB as well).
Over the next few posts I am going to also be including facts and photos about this area and would like to showcase student/resident photos.
