Welcome to the MHNA Website!

Metcalfe-Harrison Neighborhood Association (MHNA) is a volunteer group formed in 1997 dedicated to improving our neighborhood.

Our mission is to beautify our neighborhood through community projects, keep neighbors informed of issues vital to the neighborhood, and to create a sense of community.  Some of the issues we deal with are zoning, crime, beautification of the neighborhood, city services, and planning.  We also hold periodic social gatherings for the neighborhood, holiday luminaries, family bowling events, movie night in the park, and other activities.   

MHNA is represented by homeowners from 56th St. from Blondo St. to Western Ave. and 52nd St. from Lake St. to Western Ave.   The business district is bounded by Cuming St. and Hamilton St. to Radial Hwy and 50th St.   The association is open to all neighbors and businesses in the area.   

Remember to bookmark this site as newsletters and events will be posted here regularly.   If you have questions or are looking for ways to volunteer in the neighborhood, click on the volunteer link in the main menu.

Block Captains Needed

Currently we have 20 volunteer Block Captains, but need some additional captains to help deliver newsletters to a two-block areas four times per year.  This volunteer service is a great way to meet MHNA members, provides opportunities to see the neighborhood, and savings over $2000 per year in postage.   To volunteer, send an email to volunteer@metcalfe-harrison.org or click on the volunteer link on the left.

 

 
 

Metcalfe Neighborhood Fun Facts

Harrison Elementary School, founded in 1930, enrolled 164 students from grades K-4.  Not many houses were located north of Hamilton st., so it was not uncommon to see cows grazing from classroom windows.  Mules, horses, and chickens were sometimes reported as well.
