I read an interesting article in San Antonio's (only) paper the San Antonio Express News by Carlos Guerra. Unlike the name of the article the meat & potatoes of the writing focused on money for convention centers in San Antonio that was money misspent in his opinion.
Well, probably alot of SA's residents opinion, BUT, so not my point.
What was of interest to me was the point (which wasn't expanded upon) that Tourism is no longer the city of San Antonio's largest employer. That the "tourism" department of SA wasn't hurting so much after 9/11 because we weren't as HUGE as other tourist cities, therefore not having so much to rebuild. And to add to that fact that most of SA's visitors come from non other than TEXAS.
TEXANS who love TEXAS. Who could ask for anything more? or less? Or whatever.
The point of the article that I took from it is that most of San Antonio's visitors are here for FUN. Good ol' fashioned, F-U-N. From the F to the U to the N. Ok, you get the gist. Who doesn't want to visit a city that's fun? Ok, let's expand beyond that...who doesn't want to LIVE in a city that's FUN?
Me, Me, Me, Me, Mmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
You can read more of Mr. Guerra's article here and if I missed his point, I apologize. Having lived in San Antonio all my life I cannot think of another city that number 1) Is more FUN and number 2) That I would rather live in.
So, take if for what it's worth; from a San Antonio gal who has lived her ENTIRE 37 years in SA, knows SA & loves SA.
SA is tons o' fun.
