I live in downtown San Antonio. Love being able to walk to the river walk in the mornings when it's calm and quiet or in the evening for a night out.

San Antonio can be a very “touristy “ city but there are many other places that are worth visiting. The Briscoe Western Art Museum has many Remington and Russell works as well as others. Very worth a visit. And the McNay is a world class museum. The King William district has great restored old homes and has a good walking tour. The Tobin Center is a great performance venue. Whenever I go to visit my friends who live in Alamo Heights they always introduce me to cool out of the way places.

And just outside of San Antonio is the famous John T. Flores Country Store in Helotes with some of the best country music in Texas.

San Antonio is a huge city, not just the Riverwalk, so I’m glad you guys were able to show things around town. For anyone who hasn’t been, “outside the city” is basically “outside of downtown.” It’s still in San Antonio. The boots are near the airport 😉

Beautiful! Thank you! Some, who are as old as Pops, have a large, green, souvenir pencil with "Viva Hemisphere '68" and a drawing of that tower on it, from when they were a kid, traveling from Houston to SA for the event! It sits in the pencil jar in the study, as a sacred emblem of youthful days. You are correct - the same architect designed both the towers, O'Neil Ford. He has a Wikipedia article. He earned his Architecture degree through the mail from a correspondence school! The online degree of the 1920's! Apparently, it taught him well!

The city needs to figure out how to make that area safer since there is the exit from the mall right there. For good puffy tacos, go to Henry's Puffy Tacos or Los Barrios restaurant.
