I have no clue why my now deceased parents would have this but its a scrapbook that belonged to this married couple from San Antonio. I've included some photos with more details. If you know someone or are related, DM me so I can get you this book. He was a Superintendent of schools in San Antonio.

Food/Drink Taco Palenque: do native San Antonians enjoy it?

• Upvotes

I was born and raised in South San Antonio, and I’ve noticed taco palenque has really started to grow. So I tried them, and I was not impressed. The main complaint I have is the tortillas. I grew up eating soft, warm and fluffy tortillas. Which got me thinking: do natives like me, actually like Taco Palenque or has it been growing due to non-native growth within the city. The explosive growth San Antonio has seen seems to correlate with the growth of taco palenque. So to me, it seems it’s being enjoyed by people who aren’t originally from here.

Thoughts?

And btw: if you enjoy taco palenque that’s cool, enjoy it! To each their own

Nine Lives Books is a bookstore on Fredricksburg Road that sells used books, movies, and music as well as other knick-knacks / trinkets. I've been going to them since they had their previous location, and they always have a good selection of books / dvds in my opinion

We saw this happen before the game and it looked really, really bad. It had to be about a 120-150 foot drop and it looked like he fell without any friction on the rope. It immediately reminded me of the pro wrestler Owen Hart. I hope he is okay.

Edit: Update: sadly, it has been confirmed, by multiple sources, that he died. One source is ESPN, which mentions they got the confirmation from Air Force Public Affairs.

Would make since since the city invests a lot in buses instead of an actual light rail system.

Where in SA? New arrivals looking for pizza/italian 🍕

12 Upvotes

Hi everybody! This is my first post! Happy to be here!

My family and I just moved here from out of state and we’ve really enjoyed the heat and friendliness here so far.

I don’t really know how to describe where we live yet with loops and everything but it’s north west of downtown so that’s the best I can do as far as Reddit goes.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a nice sit down pizza place or Italian place they liked in that northwestern region?

Thanks in advance!
