San Antonio's Alamo Quarry Market
So these developers got together with some local entrepreneurs, some of the city's movers and shakers, and big money interests from the east and west coast and they worked on a plan to convert the site of what was once a booming cement factory into a small island of commerce. Sounds kind of improbable but that is what happened about fourteen years ago.
The Alamo Quarry Market site was a cement factory. The towers remain 
as a historical testament of what once was. Quarry Market opened in 1998. Now, the Quarry Market has a great mix for those looking to shop, eat, or to be entertained. Over seventy businesses operate in the Quarry Market: restaurants, apparel and accessories, office supplies, multi-screen theater, Bally's Total Fitness, jewelry, and much, much more.

One of my favorite spots in the Quarry is the Whole Foods Market. I understand we'll be getting a second store, probably next year, 
somewhere near The Vineyard, in the Loop 1604 and Blanco Road area.
San Antonio's Alamo Quarry Marketis located between US 281, East Basse Road, and Jones-Maltsberger Road. This site is about three miles south of San Antonio International Airport and approximately six miles north of downtown.
The Alamo Quarry Marketis an inside the Loop 410 location. There are some really nice houses in the area with a variety of price ranges near the Quarry Market. Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Northwood Estates, Olmos Park, and Lincoln Heights are all neighbors to the Quarry Market.
Now I must admit, there are some who don't like the Quarry Market. For some it's too big, not covered, not air conditioned, and not enough places to hang out. To each his or her own-If you need air conditioning go to a covered mall, don't want to walk from store to store, shop at home by ordering on-line, and as for hanging out-there are hundreds of seats in the eating and drinking establishments in the Quarry. I'll admit that it can be a long hike from one end of the area to the other, but that's why they have hundreds of parking spaces-get in your vehicle and get to your next venue.
