Celebrate our nation's veterans and the largest holiday of the year
Saturday, December 14, in the Heart of Arlington!
HANA volunteers will be helping staff the event's refreshment concession at the newly-remodeled Arlington Optimists Senter Ballparks,
across Mary Street from what's popularly called Parkdale Cemetery.
However, did you know that technically,
there are TWO cemeteries along Mary Street?
There is Parkdale, and an even older graveyard called Arlington Cemetery.
The event starts at 11am. It's free and open to the public.
In honor of their service to our country, wreaths are ceremoniously placed on the graves of all veterans who have been laid to rest in these two cemeteries.
This ceremony is organized and funding has been raised by the
Lucretia Council Cochran Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
We represent a collection of diverse neighborhoods located just south of Downtown Arlington, Texas.
From our quaint MidCentury neighborhoods to parts of Arlington's bustling Downtown and the University of Texas at Arlington, to our mom-and-pop businesses and chain stores, to our religious campuses and apartment complexes, we try to balance both the charm of our leafy community and the changes taking place in our strategic urban corner of the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex.
We are not a homeowners association. Instead, we have the pulse of major concerns and opportunities that affect not just us, but all of Arlington. For example, Johnson Creek runs through most of HANA, as does the city's busiest boulevard, Cooper Street, and HANA members have participated in various projects and studies related to each.
We boast one of the city's most robust neighborhood action plans and are consulted about many proposed developments both inside and near our boundaries. We have high standards when it comes to new construction and work hard to balance the interests and expectations of all stakeholders.
Fortunately, we benefit from having a great community legacy, established by many Arlington business and civic leaders who were the original builders of our neighborhoods. These notables include the James Martin family, after whom AISD's Martin High School is named; the Farrar family, which still owns an office building on Park Row; plus the Watson, Caton, Chen, Maner, Mathes, Moore, Landrum, Terry, Hightower, Jordan, King, and Joeckel families - just to name a few. UTA professors have lived here, and some of our earliest subdivisions housed the first workers at Arlington's ever-expanding GM plant. Even Arlington's oldest existing house , built in 1893, is within HANA's boundaries.
Generally speaking, HANA's boundaries run from Border Street on the north to Collins Street on the east, Pioneer Parkway on the south, and Cooper Street on the west, with a recent inclusion of the Meadow Oaks and Cedar Springs Terrace neighborhoods around Mitchell Street.
We host quarterly meetings at various locations throughout our neighborhood and an annual Neighborhood Night Out each October. If you live here or own a business here, we welcome you to participate with us!
