Hey there folks! We know you’re concerned that it’s been such a long time since our website has been updated.

A Successful Annual Neighborhood Picnic

Kay — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 16:55:13 +0000

Thanks to the hard work of Social Committee members and many other THNA volunteers, this year’s Annual Neighborhood Picnic on Saturday, April 7th, was a great success, with about 250 folks attending. A motorcycle-riding Easter Bunny made an appearance, which the adults seemed to enjoy just as much as the kids did. The kids also got to enjoy an Easter egg hunt. The Book/CD/DVD Swap which was new this year drew a pretty good crowd. Neighborhood association membership grew with several new members joining, as well as some “old” members renewing their dues. Free eats and drinks were provided by our sponsors.

On March 28th, several neighborhood residents met with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to discuss making our neighborhood more friendly to walking and bicycling. We broke into two work groups, led by MPO staff, and identified nine areas and 26 specific concerns. In summary, the report identified safe routes to school, pedestrian crossing problems, dangerous intersections, bicycle routes, sidewalk needs, drainage, Scates Park lighting, and potential Target traffic. Your board plans to meet with Councilman Clamp to discuss the report.

THNA remembers Mary Hill

Judy — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:25:49 +0000

Mary Louise Hill, beloved wife, mother, nurse, and friend to all, died peacefully in her sleep on June 17th at her home . She was 69 years old.

You may remember Mary as the silver-haired lady with the great smile who took your checks and cash when you renewed your THNA membership, or bought a neighborhood T-shirt, or paid for your yard sale registration. Mary was our Treasurer, beloved neighbor, and longstanding active member of the Terrell Heights Neighborhood Association. Whatever event or task that needed attention, Mary and her husband, Paul, were always there to lend a hand. She loved attending the picnics and socials and watching the children play. My kids remember Mary for the cool contraption that she showed them how to use to pick up pecans in her yard. And when we visited her, there was always a piece of candy or baked cookie for them. I will remember Mary for her wonderful sense of humor, her love of learning, our conversations in Spanish, and the bags of pecans she and the kids collected.

Mary had a wonderfully rich life, filled with world travel as a Pan Am flight attendent and then as a nurse in San Antonio caring for newborns at Methodist Hospital. She was an associate member of the Brigidine Sisters and served as a volunteer for several charitable organizations, including Vitas and the Children’s Bereavement Center. Mary and Paul participated in many cultural events in San Antonio and lived a life of community service. Mary was without a doubt a vibrant, warm-hearted woman with a loving spirit and a desire to live life to its fullest. We will miss her terribly.

Property behind SW Prep School/Vandiver

Judy — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:22:26 +0000

Janice Aull, Beverly Monestier, Judy Temple, and other neighbors met today with KSAT- 12 reporter Shari St. Clare to talk about the two natural springs behind Janice’s house and the need to protect them from the multifamily apartment complex that Colglazier Properties plans to develop on the land. It was a good meeting and a lot was heard regarding preserving the springs and working toward responsible development. The KSAT team filmed the sight of the flowing water and interviewed Janice Aull and Judy Temple. We’ll let you know when KSAT-12 will air the report and hopefully someone can record it.

More news, Colglazier Properties has listed the property for sale for $1,900.000 with the MF25 multifamily zoning designation. See the attached PDF of their brochure. Or you can get the information from their website www.colglazier.com and go to the land inventory link. The listing is #11 on their land properties list. Interesting to see how quickly the brochure and information with the MF25 designation were put together. Anyway, we now have an asking price. Do any of you have that amount under your mattress? Where do we go from here? Any potential buyers for portions of the land – the Southwest Preparatory School, the City Parks and Recreation Dept, or a developer with creative vision and a willingness to do responsible architecture?
