I took a break from standing on the corner of 281/Bitters on Monday. It is spring break for my 14 year old son. We decided instead of driving to the coast or going out of state we would help stimulate our local economy. I must preface this story with another....When I was at the corner last Thursday I think it was a Gentleman stopped his car across the street from where I was standing. He motioned for me to come over and I did. He handed me his business card and asked me to call him in 30 minutes. I said ok and he drove off. Well the Gentleman was the CEO-Chairman of Drury Hotels. I met with him later and it seemed he thought I was looking for employment. This man was such a nice guy for trying to help me out. A very down to earth person showing compassion to his fellow man. I was so impressed by his concern for me that I decided right then and there I would always be a Drury Hotel customer when traveling in the US...Now for the story...We decided instead of leaving our local economy high and dry we would stay at the Drury downtown San Antonio. It was fabulous...with its very nice heated pool on the rooftop which is the highest such pool in the city...the wonderful sparkling hot Jacuzzi the very luxurious rooms. This hotel used to be the historic Alamo Bank Building. We went to the Riverwalk and had a great time. We went to Alamo Plaza at went to Ripley's and the wax museum. We rode the horse drawn carriage. We had such a great time and my son had some great memories. We can't wait to return to the Drury and I hope you will do the same !

looks like a lot of fun.  Now, if we can only find 50,000,000 more of you to stimulate the economy we'll be back to normal!

I was wondering where you were, Richard.  Looks like you all had a great time.  I guess that is why we have so many conventions and tourists in San Antonio.  There is so much fun stuff to do here!

That is a great story, all the way around! And you did support the local economy, so both you and the CEO get stars!
