The Deseret News has published an article about the Bunnell restoration plans which you can find here:
Old house may become UVSC cafe
But not everyone is convinced of need or site's potential
(Deseret Morning News, Utah Valley Life, January 3 2008)
True...not everyone is convinced, but no one has told us no just yet. And if they did tell us no, we wouldn't believe them.

Back inside The Bunnell
Don Meyers from the Salt Lake Tribune came by UVSC today to interview Alex and myself about The Bunnell Cafe idea. Joining us was Helen Bunnell Weeks and her husband Clyde, as well as Travis and Dominic.
It was great to stand with Helen in her old house and hear stories of her childhood. We also talked about our plans for the restoration and revitalization of the home. Alex even got Helen to climb the spiral staircase and check out the attic space...an amazing feat considering that Helen has always detested the addition. Alex just may have convinced her that keeping it might not be such a bad thing. Helen also loved the idea of selling "Bunnell Bricks" to donors...and trust me...there are plenty of bricks in that place.
We are not sure yet when Don's story will be in the Trib, but as soon as we know more so shall you. At one point during our tour of the home Don leaned over to me and said that the enthusiasm for this project seemed contagious. He hit the nail on the head.
I also spoke with Rodger Hardy of the Deseret News last Friday and I believe he is also working on a story about The Bunnell.

Meeting with Kris Coles
Travis and I met with Kris Coles, UVSC student body president, this afternoon and he seems quite receptive to the idea of The Bunnell Cafe. We discussed some various funding issues. We are hoping to put together the money needed to pay for a comprehensive architectural/engineering survey. If we can get a solid figure on what the remodel will cost than we can decide how (or if) to move forward. Kris will be speaking with his executive council after the holiday weekend.
