Now that I have been here numerous times over the course of 10 years, there are a few reasons that have been attractions for me.
1.
The Riverwalk - Footpaths, gardens, and restaurant patios that line the banks of the San Antonio River. The Gondola's floating around the 2.5 miles of the canal and all the tourist just add to the fun in this area.
2. The
Military City USA - With four military installations within a 20 mile radius there is just an enormous military presence here. Randolph Air Force Base and the Army's Fort Sam Houston are national historic landmarks. Jets are always flying over head, sometimes in formation, great for all of us Air Force brats and now Air Force personnel. The Army's Fort Sam has the Army Medical Department Museum, with exhibits on the evolution of military medicine from 1775 onward.
3. Six Flags - What can I say, I'm an amusement park junky, so when there is a Six Flags, I'm there!
4.
Weather - I left zero degrees, wind and snow to come here, and its 70... why do I still live so far North?
5. Any state that lets
teachers carry and has a good conceal carry law is okay in my book. They is also a huge push to let college students, 21 and older, with a conceal carry permit, carry on campus. And why not, some of these "kids" that have gone through these classes are more responsible with guns than criminals are.
