Didn't matter if there was a cantina on every corner or not, that was more Dodge city than San Antonio anyway. They were part of the Mexican territory dealt away in a land deal. They were Mexican territory, and thus, would fit right in w/ the "strict historical" loonies up there and on here.

Mexican Cession


See Mexican Cession 1848 & Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Well if anyone had taken the time to read took the link (I know, an unheard of concept here on C-D) you would have noticed that NO WHERE in the story does the term theme park appear.

From the link.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in the past year has pushed the National Park Service to identify more sites or properties related to the histories of women and minorities that could be added to the National Register of Historic Places or be preserved as national parks or historic landmarks.

Paint the bases of the trees white, pile garbage everywhere, add some pickpockets, muggers, beggars, several street vendors selling fly covered treats and let some stray dogs loose?

I read that. I still don't see the point. When you have to go out and look for historical sites (ie: make up stuff and get creative) they probably aren't that historical to begin with. It's like quotas....for the historical registery.
