Shame its name sounds like an STD.

Is it pronounced you-trecht or ooh-trecht? Not that it really matters, just never known!

I believe it's ooh-trecht but most Brits say you-trecht I should think.
I did a lap round the underground cycle parking at the train station last year, which kept me entertained! The centre is pretty too.

"...so that this dynamic mid-sized city will maintain its livability as it continues growing."
They are not planning to remain a mid-sized city then?

Quaint place. Academia was significant.
Was responsible for a business unit there.
All to do with plant growth research. Mostly not getting the kit nicked or getting involved with hobby herb growers. The two were related.

Abiding memory of the pea soup and apple pie in the canteen. Never got the taste for kernmelk though.
Then there was the Holiday Inn which smelt of chlorine, from the pool, throughout the place.
