The McLean Revitalization Corporation (MRC) is excited to announce the current development of the second edition of the Downtown McLean foldout guide that will be distributed throughout the community at the end of March 2025 and expand to become the Downtown McLean Restaurant Retail Guide.
In Fall of 2024, MRC developed a Restaurant Guide and 5,000 copies were distributed to community centers, restaurants, local businesses, and at major public events. It was extremely well-received from the community with feedback such as, “I just picked one up at the Old Firehouse this weekend. Well done!”, and “Just picked up my Restaurant Guide today! As a relative newcomer, this is very helpful!”. Click here for the first edition online guide!
If you own a local business and are interested in purchasing an ad, or have any questions about the Guide, please contact us at RevitalizeDowntownMcLean@gmail.com. The deadline for purchasing ads is March 5, 2025, and ads are subject to availability (we quickly sold out all ads in the last edition).
We would also like to extend an invitation for 10th and 11th grade students to submit art that would be featured on the front cover of the Restaurant and Retail Guide as well as on the McLeanToday website. This is an exciting opportunity for our young, local artists to display their talent on the cover of a local publication and on our website. We are looking for artists to capture the essence of Downtown McLean in a 8.5” x 5.5” drawing, painting, or photograph, and submit their work online by Wednesday, March 5th. The first place winner, selected by the MRC Board, will be featured on the Guide’s cover, and all submissions will be featured on the McLeanToday.org website.
