movies mall just like any city

its not like where a ghost town.... =]

When I first moved here this big city was more a big town. We had only three malls and the latest is now non-existent. Yeah, I am that old. I went to college here, I have taught college here. This town is filled with ghosts and history and entertainment galore. Downtown is still my favorite area because despite the growth, it is still the quietest area. Ha. How about that? We have the Alamo and many more missions, there is the European riverwalk and the Southtown area where the Germans first came and built their own beautiful homes. Our zoo is beautiful and resembles San Diego's zoo because it is the sister zoo. We have beautiful parks and there is of course the river. We have many colleges and universities and well, as you know, tech schools. There is fiesta texas as well as THE FIESTA holiday and Sea World. Outside of that we are at the bottom of the hill country. We are an oasis in the middle of Texas.

Here's a link to a few things you can do: http://www.visitsanantonio.com/index.asp...

I would get a metal detector and or a shovel. I would take it to the Alamo and try to discover the gold that is alleged to be under the long house and the real reason for the defenders to have bled and died at the Alamo.


This one unanswered enigma has fueled the imagination of many would-be treasure hunters. It is rumored that the Alamo defenders placed their valuable and personal effects inside a large bell. Prior to last days of the battle, the bell filled to overflowing with mementos, was buried at a secret location somewhere within the confines of the mission and has never been located.

In February 1894, The San Antonio Express News featured an article of particular interest because it perpetuated the rumor that there was a hidden treasure buried somewhere within the walls of the Alamo. The article went on to tell how Leon Mareschal and his fourteen-year-old daughter visited the Alamo. The pair met with Captain Jacob Coy, the night watch commander. The Mareschal's amused Captain Coy by telling him of how young Mary could communicate with the dead occupants of the Alamo. Having nothing to loose, Captain Coy allowed Leon Mareschal to hypnotize his daughter. While in this altered state of consciousness, Mary confirmed the presence of "spirits in the chapel" and that many of the paranormal activity experienced there was due in part to the fact that the ghosts were attempting to locate their buried treasure. If Mary had not captured Captain Coy's full attention already, she surely had him hooked when she told him that the treasure was 540,000 dollars in gold coins! Without mincing words, the good captain asked Mary where the treasure was hidden. She responded by pointing vaguely toward the dilapidated southwest corner of the crumbling old mission. Only after relinquishing all that the spirits knew about the gold, did the Mareschal's take their leave, vanishing into the night. Unfortunately, the article does not say if Captain Coy ever found the ghosts missing treasure. Officially, none of the sanctioned private or public archeological excavations at the site over the years has been able to put this one nagging question to rest.

Absolutely nothing! I moved here from California and I am so bored I cannot stand it! There is the usual movie and mall and if you are an alcoholic you will enjoy all of the bars and clubs but other than that, don't get your hopes up. The zoo is the best thing here. Oh, and the food is awful! I also love history and I was looking for museums etc. I found the best thing was a drive up to Houston. It's far but they have awesome museums. The holocaust museum is really interesting! Good luck! Let me know if you find anything else. (I am still looking myself!)
