Battle of Flowers Parade

Hello from MHN!

We are so excited for this year’s Battle of Flowers Parade! Did you know that the parade is now 123 years old now? The parade began in 1891 because a wife of a congressman, Mrs. James Slayden, wanted to honor the fallen soldiers of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. She decided that April 21 would be the day of the parade. It now symbolizes the first celebration in the Alamo Plaza and is the founding event of Fiesta® San Antonio.

This year the Battle of Flowers Parade will be on April 25, 2014 at 12:30 pm! You can find information regarding tickets at www.battleofflowers.org.

MHN has closed their doors due to this San Antonio Holiday! If you have an emergency our phone lines will be open for you to call! See you all on Monday April 28th!

Hello Tenants & Homeowners,

Whether you are a current tenant or homeowner it is always a good time to do some preventative maintenance to ensure that your home is at its best! MHN has compiled a short list of things that can help you keep your home in Tip Top Shape and avoid those crazy mishaps like an AC Drain stopping up in the summer heat or your garbage disposal clogging up while you're having a dinner party.

Dishwasher- Does your dishwasher need a pick me up? Our property managers swear by lemony shine in your dishwasher. Once a month and you will have a hard-working dishwasher with no icky smells or hard water spots on your fine china!

Garbage Disposal- Garbage Disposals are a great invention, but take some special care. If your garbage disposal has been stopping up try putting ice in your disposal to sharpen the blades and break up any stoppage you might have. Always remember to not put bones, objects, or grease into the disposal.

AC Drain - If you start putting one cup of vinegar and rinsing down with two cups of hot water into your AC Drain once a month you should have no issues with your AC Drain during our scorching hot summers.


Smoke Detector - Smoke detectors chirp at the most inconvenient times. The best solution is replace all batteries in each smoke detector. This helps avoid any random chirping that you cannot find at those inconvenient times.

Garage Door - One way to make your life easier and ours is to make sure that you are greasing your wheels and tracks on your garage door. You would not want your car to be stuck in your garage while you have an important meeting to make it to.
If you have in-depth questions feel free to give us a call! Stay tuned for a video demonstrating these items as well!
