Washington U. isn't even in the city limits of St. Louis.

Univ. of Washington is in the city limits, but not in or adjacent to downtown.

Gotcha - I see the stadium in older photos now...the rail yard cover-up is what I think caught my eye. Very cool. I hope more of the rail yards get covered, it's really prime real estate.

And in Ohio, wouldn't the University of Cincinatti fit the model. I haven't been but isn't it downtown?

It's a very new'ish school for sure. Now that you mention it was founded in 1964 that explains why it doesn't look like a traditional college campus. All the same, it's a pretty decent school and it's in downtown Cleveland, and it's leading a lot of redevelopment along Euclid Avenue: one of the coolest non-Chicago downtown streets I've seen in any Midwestern city (or any city, for that matter).

I haven't been to Cincy either but I believe you're right. I think it's in the OTR (Over the Rhine) area.

I meant U of Wash, obviously.
