Who writes this stuff for Forbes...

--------------------------
The paths along the Rio Grande wind by shops, restaurants-and the Alamo. The River Walk proclaims itself the "Number One entertainment destination in Texas," with 5.1 million visitors a year. Paseo del Rio's Executive Director Greg Gallaspy says 888,000 of those come for events produced by the association, including a mariachi festival and the Fiesta de las Luminarias, when the walkway is aglow with candle-lit bags.

Rio Grande????? I think they are a little off....

ABC messed up a long time ago too... apparently we need more Geo majors... Miss Teen South Carolina got it right (we need more maps).

Did anyone see ABC News tonight?

Will at least they put it next to a river. I guess they thought it was the S.A. River. And the San Antonio, Texas thing, when they have to include the state name as well. They do that with Houston and Dallas also.

If the city attracts 26 million visitors, I would think the Riverwalk would be higher on the list.
