San Antonio Blog

SanAntonioBlog.org would like to throw our support behind Nico Lahood as he takes on Susan Reed in the DA election this fall. Nico is a world class human being and will exceed any lofty expectations you may have. Learn more about the future San Antonio District Attorney (hopefully! – make sure to vote) at NicoForDA.com.

Thanks for running Nico!  This city needs you.

Please help our homeless dogs and animals find a good home and take care of them. San Antonio seems to have done a really good job with controlling our pet population but please also give them a high quality of life. We have taken in 4 dogs from the Chihuahua Rescue and they are all adorable. You can access the San Antonio Humane Society and the Adopt a Pet for San Antonio. If you’ve been looking for a dog, cat, or possibly another pet (although I’m not sure what others they would have), then please consider these precious animals to give a home to.

I recently ate to go at the Oblate Cafe in Castle Hills.  This is a sub city of San Antonio for those of you unfamiliar with the area.  Anyways, the mexican food was decent and the owner really goes out of her way to serve you and make sure you have everything you need.  Also, you can eat on a budget as meals do not cost very much.

I recommend you give it a shot if you’re near the North East side of town.

Below is a link to see the fallen officers:

Here is their favorite coffee shop’s website. The owner is a retired officer and is taking donations via paypal.

The 4 officers had 9 children total.

If you can afford to donate 1 or 2 dollars, I think the financial help would be much appreciated by the families.

If you don’t have the extra money, donating a few minutes of your time and spreading the word in other online communities/forums could make even more of a difference.

I didn’t go to Black Friday in San Antonio, but rumor has it that stores weren’t really going all out like they have in the past.  Most of the really big sales were reserved for older merchandise retailers wanted to move.  I kind of wanted to go to Black Friday just because of the excitement and hoopla that surrounds it – helps you get in the holiday spirit – but on the other hand, I really didn’t need anything and I didn’t want to get up early so I let it be.

We’ll see what the latest reports have as to whether this blog is accurate but this is what I’m reading on the forums and hearing from my friends that took to the stores and malls.  If your experience was different, please do share.

Just wanted to mention a fellow San Antonio Blog, AHintOfSanAntonio.com.  It’s a good blog but I didn’t mention it before in my list of SanAntonio blogs.  Also, thanks to Steely Dan and Jason Gassner for comments.

If you’re looking for an online guide to San Antonio, I recommend you stop at SanAntonioInsider.com.  I stumbled across his site and it is tremendous, free info for anyone visiting the Alamo City.  He talks about hotels, attractions, restaurants, things to do, and everything else you might need.  If it’s not on the website, just send him an email and he’ll be glad to answer it.

The site is actually quite different than this San Antonio Blog because it is more organized into advice whereas I give musings on different topics in South Texas when I come across them.  If you’re a San Antonio tourist looking for advice, you won’t find a better guide.  The reason why is Tom isn’t speaking with any bias besides his personal experiences.

I was searching Google for another San Antonio Blog like mine, but there really are no general San Antonio Blogs out there that just cover everything – maybe for the better.  I’ve seen niche specific blogs.  For example, a criminal lawyer blogger and housing market blogging, but nothing just about SA.

Wait I take that back.  There is another San Antonio blog by Melissa at About.com.  I think the Express-News may have dipped into the blogging seen, but a compilation of articles really isn’t a blog.  True blogs are somewhat hard to define but you know one when you see one.  To help show you what it is, I’ll show you what it is not.  For example, a journal is more like a diary that has a collection of chronological thoughts.  A news wire is a continually updated feed.  A forum is a place where many people can post there thoughts on a number of issues.
