Celebrando el Cinco de Mayo en Mt. Prospect! 🇲🇽
El Cinco de Mayo conmemora la victoria del ejército mexicano en la Batalla de Puebla en 1862, y hoy en día es una celebración de la cultura, la herencia y la comunidad mexicana.
Aquí en el distrito de Mt. Prospect, esa cultura se vive todos los días a través de los negocios locales que llenan el vecindario de sabor, tradición y energía.
Celebra localmente en Mexican Rooster y disfruta de un auténtico sabor de la comunidad.
Come celebrate with us and support local ❤️

#WayBackWednesday 🖤 599 Mt. Prospect Avenue, early 1980s. The George S. Hobart House — a Georgian/Classical Revival landmark built between 1890 and 1911, and once home to a physician’s office along this historic avenue. A glimpse into the neighborhood’s rich architectural and professional legacy.

Happy Earth Day from the Mount Prospect Partnership! 🌳
Mount Prospect is a neighborhood defined by its character and part of that character is the greenery that lines our streets and storefronts. Our plantings and street trees are a labor of love, and today we’re especially grateful for them.
🗑️ That love extends to cleanliness too. Our team works hard to remove litter, keep up with garbage collection, and address illegal dumping so that the environment we’re nurturing stays protected. A greener neighborhood starts with a cleaner one.
Happy Earth Day, Mount Prospect! 🌿

A clean district is a welcoming district.
Power washing is one of the most impactful ways we improve our corridors—removing dirt, grease, gum, and buildup that accumulates over time. It’s not just about appearance—it’s about creating a space people feel good walking through, spending time in, and supporting.
What it does:
• Restores sidewalks and storefronts
• Improves safety by reducing slippery surfaces
• Enhances the overall look and feel of the district
• Supports local businesses by creating a more inviting environment
These small, consistent efforts make a big difference in how our districts are experienced every day.
Clean streets. Stronger districts.

🌍 An Important Announcement from the Mount Prospect Partnership:
In honor of Earth Month, we are making a bold commitment to the environment. Effective immediately, bike lanes will become the only mode of transit in the Mount Prospect neighborhood. All streets will be closed to vehicles, NJ Transit bus and train service will be suspended, and every commuter is expected to arrive by bicycle — no exceptions. We believe this is the only responsible path forward for our planet. 🚲🌱
...April Fools! 😄 We love the Earth, but we also love your NJ Transit train, your bus, and your two feet. Happy Earth Month, and Happy April 1st from MPP! 🎉
