Mountain View, El Paso, Texas
Mountain View is a neighborhood in Northeast El Paso, in the city of El Paso, Texas. Its boundaries are commonly considered to be Dyer Street on the west, Railroad Drive on the east, Hondo Pass Avenue on the north, and on the south, Hercules Avenue and the intersection of Diana Drive and Railroad Drive; this includes the city-designated neighborhoods of Las Sierras and Restlawn (around the cemetery by that name) as well as Mountain View North and South, which lie east of Diana Drive. Mountain View was built beginning in the early 1950s and  is a moderate-income area dominated by aging single-family homes, mainly of stucco or brick, which has long been home to many active-duty soldiers stationed at Fort Bliss and retired Army personnel. Besides the large, privately owned Restlawn Cemetery on Dyer Street at Alps Drive, Mountain View also has a county pauper's cemetery, the MacGill Cemetery, located at the northern end of Pandora Street next to Magoffin Middle School and Mountain View Park; Nations Tobin Park, a large regional city park, is in the northeastern part of Mountain View on Railroad Drive. Businesses in the neighborhood are  mostly found along its edges, on Dyer Street, Hondo Pass Avenue, and Railroad Drive, as well as on Hercules Avenue between Dyer and Diana; there is a large older shopping center, Sunrise Center, on Dyer Street at Tetons Drive, once known for its distinctive tall blue spire lit from within. There is an annual Easter parade, the NorthEastern Parade, along Diana Drive beginning at Hercules Avenue and proceeding north as far as Dyer Street. Many of the streets in Mountain View are named for mountains or mountain ranges (Mount Everest, Mount Whitney, Mount Hood, Andes, Alps), except for the streets  in the southeast corner, many of which are named for Army bases (Riley, Bragg, Benning).
