San Antonio is considered Southwest. We are in south-central Texas, but the Southwestern portion of the U.S. Deep South is the lower right quadrant of the U.S. (generally speaking.)

Well, yes, in a sense; however, while San Antonio is in south central Texas, it is technically part of the eastern half of Texas. The vegetation and a portion of the culture speaks for that. In San Antonio, what is usually considered western U.S. culture is actual Mexican culture. That's easily misconstrued. A lot of people who are ignorant to that fact still think San Antonio is a desert city, no thanks to Hollywood stereotypes.

You seem to have a much different definition for that word then the actual one.

My point exactly. Why people like to make up their own meanings of a word is beyond me.

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is not building any theme parks in the United States for a while. International expansion is one of the companies major priorities right now. They are currently scouting land in China, Australia, and possibly Singapore for new parks. Additional land was purchased near Disneyland and could become a water park some time after 2011. Sorry, no plans for a Disney park in Texas. To get a theme park would require massive government support and co-funding. It's a great idea, but Disney would require lots of incentives and lots of land.

the main thing i can see that would not help is our airport. Even with the new terminal/s being built.. I don't think it could support that flow.
