Connections: Are You a YUP?

YUP. You're probably a closet preservationist. You care about the look of your city, your town, your neighborhood. You don't want just any big box store with a sea of parking spaces. You want a thoughtful approach to urban planning and you occasionally travel on foot, or bike, or something not called "car." Maybe it's time for you to meet the YUPs -- the Young Urban Preservationists:

  • Caitlin Meives, YUP co-founder and Preservation Planner at The Landmark Society of WNY
  • Laura Smith, co-founder of YUP 
  • Bradley Huber, member of YUP
  • Anna Lisa Keller, member of YUP
