That other poster was right a while back--there are absolutely NO pedestrians in San Antonio. Only a couple of people in two of these pictures. Most have NO people in them at all. I know this was Christmas, but it's a total ghost town. This in not normal for cities on any day of the year. Think about it. It's clear from these pictures why people all over the U.S. are "ranting and raving" about SAs downtown. Nice pictures though.

It's christmas day, virtually every thing commercial in my pictures is closed. Why would people be seen in them?

San Antonio has probably the most active downtown's in Texas, no life, no bias.

I purposely avoided posting pictures of the Riverwalk and Alamo Plaza. Those are areas away from the "hot spots" of downtown.

Default Thanks for the pics

210 - as a person looking to relocate to SA I really appreciate the pics... thanks again and if you have anymore please post. I posted a question on driving times from Converse to Fort Sam; any idea how long it would take? I know what the maps all say but don't know if traffic is figured in or not. thanks
Ed

Converse to Fort Sam would be about 10-15 minute drive. If it's really bad rush hour, probably 25-30 minutes.

Great pics!
210, where exactly are those "hot spots"? I'd like to check 'em out.

I saw two people on Segways. Does anyone know if and where I can rent a few for my wife and I?

robert123, in L.A. nobody walks! There is even a song about it. The only place you see pedestrians is in a super touristy area that costs millions to live in a small apartment!

There is an edifice on your bottom right of the first pic. Do you know if it's residential or commercial?
