The Old MTV Eventors is less than a year old and is already making a positive impact on the community. Check out this slideshow to see what we did in 2022.

Belated photos from parts 1 and 2 of the OMVNA caroling crawl. Our caroling date, Dec 10, 2022, turned out to be quite a rainy one, with just a small break in the late afternoon. Still, our carolers braved the weather to go out and spread cheer. They were greeted with treats and drinks at host homes.

A week and a half later, our carolers held a pop up event the evening of Dec 22, starting at the City Hall Plaza and serenaded lucky diners along Castro Street.

And that’s a wrap for our 2022 OMVNA Events! Stay tuned for what 2023 brings!
The Old Mountain View Neighborhood Association will host an outreach meeting for a revised proposal of the Marwood development at (701-727 West Evelyn Ave).
The site is on the south side of West Evelyn Avenue, next to the train station and covers the Subway sandwich shop and adjacent auto repair shop site.
The proposal was originally for a multi-story office building over ground floor retail with underground parking.
Reduced parking may be a consideration, given that the state of California has banned a city required parking minimum on the site.
Note that the meeting will be this coming Thursday at 6PM, rather than at our regular meeting time.

We typically provide an overview of the years’ OMVNA activity, a review of key neighborhood development projects and state legislation affecting our neighborhood, and a treasurer’s report at the annual meeting.
Looking forward to seeing many of you there, in our virtual forum!
Despite the original rainy forecast, the winds were in our favor and we were able to host our first ever Hot Chalk-a-lot event, with plenty of hot cocoa, marshmallows, chalk drawings, and neighborly chats. Many thanks to Deb and Sam for providing the warm drinks and toppings!
