Dear Monte Vista Friends, The holiday season is here and I am writing my last President’s letter for Vistas! As I reflect back over the 51st year of our organization, I feel like we have accomplished many objectives and still have many on our list of items to do. I know that we will continue to move forward with the leadership of our incoming President, Tom Archer and the 2025 Board members who have volunteered to serve. Last, but not least, the volunteer residents who give their time and resources to make this neighborhood so incredibly special and unique.

This year we mobilized our organization to study the effects of the proposed Green Line by VIA, the proposed zoning changes suggested for properties located in the transit oriented development (TOD) areas surrounding the transit corridor, and the City of San Antonio’s emphasis on affordable housing within the urban core. These are all issues that are important to our City and that have an impact on the existing neighborhoods within the urban core.

The most important approach we can take as a responsible neighborhood within the city of San Antonio is to be educated on the proposed developments and changes. Using our voice on how these are enacted with respect to how our neighborhood is impacted is our ultimate responsibility.

There are so many of you that make this organization work that it is hard to name all of you, but I do need to mention the work of Tony Garcia and Victoria German who have worked tirelessly on our behalf in the realm of zoning, Rick ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS Wilson and members of the Planning Committee who have educated our residents and formed bridges with various Ryan Reed Melody Hull stakeholders in the City to have our voices be part of the ongoing conversations.

Lydia McAfee

In closing, I want to thank all of you who supported my efforts during my time as President. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the President of Monte Vista Historical Association over the last two years. I am humbled by the opportunity that I was given to serve and I will always look back on this time as a highlight in my journey.

All my best, Lynn Boyd III, President Monte Vista Historical Association, 2024

Update on Hildebrand Study Presented

By Peter Hugill We finally have the report on Hildebrand begun well over a year ago after the fatality at Howard.

The Engineering firm of PapeDawson reported on their study and their recommendations at a public meeting at the District 1 Offices on Tuesday November 19.

They focused on the section of Hildebrand between San Pedro and Thelma. Their suggested changes made sense give the constraints of the existing right of way (ROW).

Some background data from their published report: (a) Hildebrand is classified as a secondary arterial road, type B. As such it should have 70’ to 86’ ROW. In fact it has only 54’ which massively constrains its redevelopment. (b) Traffic levels have been declining steadily for the past 20 years from roughly 19,000 vehicles per day to just under 12,000. (c) The “corridor crash history” from 2018 to 2023 saw 349 total crashes of which 101 resulted in injury/possible injury (remember these are crashes reported to the police, not fender benders). (d) The “corridor crash rate” is about 4 times the state average crash rate.

Other information from the meeting: Before any work can begin SAWS needs to work on the water mains and sewage lines. CPS needs to work on electric lines. Many CPS poles are located in the middle of what passes for a sidewalk on the north side of Hildebrand, especially between Howard and the Jim’s parking lot. Such a sidewalk is NOT ADA compliant! The Public Works

Slide presented by Pape-Dawson Engineers at the Nov 19 meeting.

people suggested this would take until late 2025.

Apparently Hildebrand had its origin in the 1920s as a service alley on the northern limit of the city. Although Hildebrand is no longer a service alley, technically the responsibility for controlling vegetation lies with the homeowners on either side of the road, and quite a bit of that vegetation impedes sight lines, especially eastbound at Howard.

The Head of Public Works who was at the meeting implied that it should be possible for Public Works to take over that responsibility.

Major proposals and costs: Pape-Dawson suggested two levels of change: interim and more long-term. The interim changes involve re-striping the section between Thelma and Belknap as three lanes—one eastbound, one westbound, and a turn lane. Each intersection except Belknap would have ADA compliant sidewalks, pedestrian controlled lights with crosswalks on all four sides, and a pedestrian safety zone at each corner marked out as such and with

poles. A functional ADA compliant sidewalk would be installed from McCullough to the Jim’s parking lot along the north side of Hildebrand (there is inadequate ROW for one on the south side).

The cost for the interim solution would be $1.3 million and our current Councilperson indicated this could be found out of existing District 1 monies. The long-term solution would require expanding the ROW and estimated cost is in the order of $15 million. This could only be raised via bonds and the next bond election is 2027.

Comments: Comments were numerous but generally very positive on the interim solution. One of the main criticisms was that Belknap needs more attention since there have been numerous crashes there.

The report only stated number of crashes and did not identify their locations. The people from PapeDawson were open to looking more at Belknap.

Monte Vista Storage Garage Cleanup

By Nirmal Kozak Albert Einstein is credited with saying, “It’s every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.” When my mom asked if I’d help build shelves and organize Monte Vista Historical Association’s storage garage I was excited to help.

I’ve been a part of the Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas for over 10 years and I thought I’d get my troop to use our woodworking skills to build some wooden shelves, but we had just finished renovating the composting area for Catholic Charities’ St. Stephen’s Care Center and my friends could only help with the Monte Vista project one

day. So we pivoted and a few of us bought adjustable, metal shelving and assembled the shelves and cleaned and organized the storage space. We accomplished a lot in one afternoon! A few more hours here and there on other days finished the project. In the space one table is open so people can use it, and we tried to make sure everything is visible once you walk in. Items are easier to get out and put back.

After looking at the finished space, my mom and I went back and built a few more shelves to get as much shelving in the space as possible and helped to organize the Fourth of July decorations after the parade and picnic. The nice thing about the shelving is that it is

adjustable so it can be changed.

I’ve grown up in Monte Vista and love all of our neighborhood events like the Fourth of July and Easter Egg Hunt. I was happy to help with this project and hope everyone enjoys the space.

Christmas Traditions & Memories

By Victoria German When the nights grow short, we celebrate light. It might be Diwali or Hanukkah or Advent or Las Posadas.

How lucky we are to be able to share our traditions with each other at this time of the year.

And what makes this season special in San Antonio? Is it the magical lights so high in the trees that drip into the river? Is it the charm of a winter parade? Is it the beautiful luminaries, lights in windows, and illuminated trees we see throughout our Monte Vista neighborhood?

Maybe it’s hosting a tamalada and learning how to make tamales from our tias and abuelas. Maybe it’s making gingerbread and schnitzel with our omas and opas. Traditions help us remember those who made their way before us. By sharing our traditions with our family and friends, we wonder again with a child’s eyes.

Some of our most beloved Christmas traditions are relatively new. In fact, tree trimming came to the US with German families who immigrated in the 1800s. In 1850, the American magazine Godey’s Lady’s Book published an etching of Britain’s Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and their children gathered around a glittering tabletop Christmas tree.

Prince Albert was German and had brought the tree-trimming tradition to his bride in England. Christmas stockings appeared in the US in the 1830s, and they were actual stockings! Then, a child was very lucky to receive an apple, an orange, a penny, or a dime. Later stockings might also hold cakes, nuts, and candy. Sugar and citrus fruit were very expensive in the past so these were very special treats. Toys were whittled by hand; dolls were hand sewn with scraps of the family’s fabric. Dolls were dressed like their children. Sometimes dolls were made of corn husks.

Early immigrants to the US brought their special traditions with them to remind themselves and their children of home. If you were Dutch, you set out a wooden shoe for Sinterklaas to fill with tiny presents

www.montevistasa.org

and candy. For the horse of Sinterklaas, you left hay or a fat orange carrot. If you were German, you might hang gingerbread on the Christmas tree. Your parents might hide a green glass pickle somewhere on the tree, and the child who found the pickle received a pink sugar pig as a prize. Perhaps you also built a gingerbread house and drank hot chocolate with cousins.

If you were from Mexico, you waited for our Lady of Guadalupe to fill Juan Diego’s tilma with roses in mid-December. Roses blooming in winter?

Definitely a miracle. Tres Reyes celebrations for Epiphany on January 6 included presents and King Cake and marked the end of the holiday season.

English families transformed fruit cake, that ugly duckling of the cake world, into a swan by adding a thick layer of marzipan, soft white frosting, a snow globe’s worth of confectioner’s sugar, and cheery bright Christmas ornaments as decorations on top of the cake.

A proper British Christmas tea— complete with bright colored paper crowns, Christmas crackers, a very large slice of cake, and tea poured out of a Christmas teapot in front of a roaring fire—remains a glorious way to spend time with friends.

Italian families gathered for the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. A child might have attended midnight mass and enjoyed his Nonna’s cannoli filled with chocolate chips and sweet ricotta or ribbon cookies made out of fried noodle dough and lemon icing when he came home.

What are your memories of Christmas? One year during winter long ago, 13 inches of snow fell and San Antonio shut down. My sister and I decided to walk to a friend’s house about 15 miles away since the school was out and barely any cars were around. It was so beautiful.

We felt like we were inside a snow globe. There was so much snow: big flakes, very cold, such a rare event.

The Treasure Hunt: Monte Vista’s Everyday Animals & Mythical Beasts

By Victoria German Once long ago, a neighbor of ours found someone’s pet python slithering toward his porch stairs.

Worried that the python might go under his porch, he caught it by the tail…in his best business suit. As he was wrestling with the very large and irritated snake, a good Samaritan (coincidentally a professional snake enthusiast with a large bag) came along to help capture the python and take it to the Zoo. Thankfully, this doesn’t happen every day.

Remembering this ancient act of heroism got me thinking about all the other real animals that call Monte Vista home: cats, dogs, foxes, raccoons, opossums, parrots, escaped budgies, hawks, hummingbirds, grackles, turtles, and horny toads. Some are wild; some are not. Maybe we put out a

bowl of food or water for them or watch them from our windows.

Out on a walk and noticing animals used as decorations in art and architecture, I thought about mythical beasts that share Monte Vista with us. They are all around us hiding in plain sight.

We’re going to go on a treasure hunt through Monte Vista to find mythical beasts and learn about architecture. What do these animals symbolize and why are they there?

I’m not going to give you the answers but I am going to give you some clues so you’ll know what these beasties are trying to tell you.

See if you can find them on your next walk.

The spitting frog and the fountain: Associated with water and rain, frogs signify new beginnings, transformation, rebirth, and good luck. When you see a frog, a change is on the way. There is a famous restaurant that used to have the fountain of the spitting frogs in its courtyard. At the corner of Main and Craig, the concrete fountain that looks like a tiny pond with a sweet little frog who spouts water even has a little fountain below for your dog.

The smiling cat door knocker: Depicted in art for over 9500 years, cats often symbolize guardianship.

Did you know that orange colored or “marmalade” kitties (because they are the color of marmalade jam) come from ancient Egypt? In England, a Cheshire cat is a kind of cat that can disappear and reappear at will, sort of like actual cats.

Legend has it that we have our very

own Cheshire cat in Monte Vista that mystically appears during tea parties in our backyards.

Giant griffin guardians and the tiny griffin weather vane: Griffins are mythical creatures from ancient Greece and Rome embodying power and protection. With the body of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, pointy ears, large beaks, and giant tongues, fierce griffins often appear on coats of arms. When positioned on doorways or high above on ramparts, vigilant griffins are always on guard. I live next door to a fabulous griffin weather vane who shows me every day which way the wind is blowing. I feel very lucky and enchanted.

The trotting horse: The trotting or running horse means freedom, power, and beauty to many different cultures. Horses, both flying and running, appear in mythology, folklore, art, and literature. The Americas, Europe, and Asia love

horses. Horses are sacred to Native Americans because they mean strength, life, and safety when embarking on a journey.

We celebrate horses in our rodeos and charros. See if you can find some horse weather vanes in the neighborhood.

Dolphins over the door: Apollo’s messengers in mythology, dolphins signify smooth sailing, joy, guidance, and transformation because their intelligence connects them to the spiritual realm. Ancient Greeks painted dolphins in art, and dolphins were a big hit in Venice in the Renaissance. Look for these guides for real and mystical journeys over the doors of houses in Monte Vista.

Dragons near the playground: Dragons symbolize good luck and protection and are said to chase the

pearl of immortality. In Chinese mythology, dragons control the tides, weather, and the seasons.

Ancient Chinese emperors were said to descend from dragons, and dragons are a royal symbol in many cultures. Dragon myths probably come from the discovery of dinosaur bones long ago. If you play or picnic at Landa Library look for the dragon lights that scamper up the sides of the house and protect the building.

Foo dogs always travel in pairs: Foo dogs guard house entrances, and they always travel in pairs.

They are actually imperial guardian lions, but we call them “foo” or “fu” dogs in the West. A tiny pair of foo dogs in your house is also fun.

Foo dogs symbolize luck, health, and wealth in Chinese culture.

Lions and their shields: The

royal lion symbolizes courage, strength, valor, and leadership.

This king of the animals appears on shields and flags to show nobility and royalty. Shields evolved into an art form over centuries. Prince George, Charlotte, and Louie have lions on their shields. We have more lions (in art…not real ones) in Monte Vista than the San Antonio Zoo. See if you can find them.

Tiger in the garden: Tigers are fearless; they represent optimism, positivity, and a spirit of success. They are beloved in Japan, India, and China because of their grit, determination, and persistence. Tigers move quickly and confidently. Can you find a new life-sized tiger sculpture in our neighborhood? Fortunately, he is very tame.

Passing of beloved neighbor, Bill Davis

By Jean Brady Bill Davis was a devoted partner, businessman, Monte Vista neighbor, dog lover and most of all a friend. He left on us too soon this Fall after a short illness.

We will miss him as we know his partner Oscar Camacho does.

Bill and Oscar opened Oscar Camacho (left) and Bill Davis (right) with a King at a Fiesta event. their first shop, On Main, in the heart of Monte Vista in 1978. It was a popular place, especially with all the school children after school. Bill and Oscar got to know all their families, leading to a customer and friend base across the city. Threatened with a rent increase, they moved their eclectic, quirky store half a block west on Mistletoe to become On Main Off Main.

The store became a local favorite for unusual gifts, cards and treats.

Always high on the party list, they were known for their Fiesta Parties (when kings dropped by) and Christmas Open Houses with Margaritas and Frito Pie. And there were a few margarita Saturdays always thrown in as well.

When Bill and Oscar decided to retire, they could always be found walking their dogs, visiting their favorite local venues and enjoying their life together. Two trips, one to Colorado and another, a cross country train trip, were part of their bucket list. For all of us, It was a privilege to know this gentleman and to call him our friend.

CHRISTMAS

FROM PAGE 6

We made it exactly 10 blocks to the center of Monte Vista. Our wonderful neighbors, the Medinas, took pity on two chattering icicles and made us hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies. We sat together by the fire enjoying the magic of Christmas, telling stories, roasting marshmallows, and laughing.

And of course, when we were completely thawed and filled with treats, they drove us home.

Wherever you call home, take time to share your traditions with friends and family this Christmas. Make some wonderful memories and keep the magic of the season close to your heart.
