Smile San Antonio '66-'68

I'm hoping somebody out there might remember the "Spotted Horse" restaurant/diner and possibly have a pic of it. My Grandmother worked as a waitress there and lived in a house behind the restaurant. There is a Seafood restaurant in it's place today.
The location is Military Dr and Hilton @IH 35. Also, across the street (Hilton) from the Spotted Horse was a Mobil gas station (which is still there) which is on the corner of IH 35 and Military. Would like to see a pic of it from around '66-'68 time frame.
I have been doing alot of searching on the internet but no luck. I have been reading alot of "remember when...." posts and really enjoying them.
I was born In San Antonio in '67, raised as a "military bratt" and pretty much lived around the N.E. side of town up until '95, before I moved to Houston.
I sure do miss San Antonio! I have been researching my roots and recently visited San Antonio, and I just cannot believe the growth and all of the changes.
I have never fully embraced Houston, as San Antonio will always be my HOME TOWN. Go Spurs!
Thanks in advance for any help with the pictures I'm looking for!!!!

Thanks AdamK,

I have, but so far to no avail. My google search has led me to this website where I read other members remembrances of San Antonio. I wish there was a website dedicated to San Antonio's history, that included a photo archive.
I tried the Institute of Texan Cultures website, but no luck there, though they have alot of pictures from San Antonio's past.
