    I really wonder what's going to happen with this campus. It's absolutely beautiful.

    It's such a gem; like a little historic college.

    I'm hoping they leave it largely intact and incorporate housing, office and/or a bed and breakfast.

    It will be demolished

    Steve said in his chat today that he expects this property to officially go on the market this summer and hinted that the Midtown Renaissance group may be interested.

    My kids went there. Sister Veronica was such a wonderful lady. For them to close is really sad. The Carmelite Sisters are such beautiful souls.

    I have noticed the sisters talking to men in suits on the grounds several times in the last few weeks as I drive by. Thought something must be up. I just hope the building are renovated and not torn down.

    I'm pretty confident almost all the original buildings will be kept in tact but structured parking and a couple of infill structures would be easily accomplished.

    I hope at least part of whatever happens there involves housing.

    Just learned the sisters will be clearing out next month, which I believe is earlier than had been planned.

    There may be a deal in the works for this property.

    Shouldn't the Blues Brothers be showing up soon to save this place?

    I saw a group of businessmen walking around there on my way home Friday afternoon. They were carrying big rolls of paper and such. Looked official.

    Big rolls of paper!!

    Actually, that's a pretty telling sign.

    Me and Bradley spent time with them yesterday and he has cooked for them for some time. He's doing a story in the Sooner Catholic newspaper about them moving out within a month and was pretty emotional about it. He really got to know the sisters while working on his Midtown book. I took some photos and got the first group photo of the remaining sisters outside the "Mother" house all together. They had never done it surprisingly.

    While I'm very excited about the future of this property, it's quite sad to see that photo.

    So, have I missed it? What happens the the current occupants? or is that chapter not yet started?

    As a Villa Teresa alum from the late 80s and early 90s it will be sad to see such a well-respected education option gone from downtown.

    Definitely sad as this was the first school I ever attended.
