Later on tonight I will be posting pictures of the snow of 85 on the thread Pics of San Antonio. I will also be creating a new thread, West Side of the Creek, San Antonio's legal red light district. I took photos in the 1980's as the last houses as they were being torn down. I don't know how long the thread will be allowed so better check it out fast. It will probably not be up for two or three hours. Godaddy seems to be real busy right now and I am having difficulty getting my images up. Take a peek if it interest you.

The new thread, West Side of the Creek is up and shows pictures as the district was being razed in 1984 to make way fro an exit ramp for I-35.

I didn't know the Violet Twins were from SA!!! They are the best part of Tod Browning's Freaks movie. Check it out on DVD.

There are quite a few references to Wonderland, the Wonder Theater and other good stuff about that mall. Welcome aboard!
I like the part "My dad wanted me to get used to jalapenos..". Dad's are like that. Mine wanted me to get used to beer.

We ate at Firehouse Subs tonight and I tried this sauce called MAD DOG INFERNO Hot Sauce. OMG that was the hottest stuff I have ever tasted. There was a warning on the label about the heat. DAMN it was hot. I can handel hot spicy foods but that got me!!
And was the beer Lone Star? And it was probably in the glass cans.
