and, personally, i would prefer to live in a community surrounded by NO ONE.

I do not dislike specific races, but rather just dislike people in general. haha

just kidding.


i was just pointing out to those that do not know, Converse is largely black community.

just as Schertz is mainly white


and Stone Oak is mainly white

and everything inside 410 with the exception of Alamo Heights is mainly hispanic.

just stating some facts for the folks that are not from here.

i noticed lots of new businesses in converse over the past few months.

the ISD is planning on a third high school from my sources.

good for them. they need it,

I don't think so. I mean, It's not like Judson was crowded. That school is huge, and I would think that they would want to retain the title as the biggest high school in all of Texas.

[n0vemberHAWK]

judson was not and is not the biggest school in texas.


there are some more schools that are larger than them.


and besides, the ONLY reason they wanted to keep Judson ISD as a one hs district was so their football team could keep winning.

what happened when the district finally opened a second hs?

judson misses the playoffs.

hahahaha

I guess, but actually, for a matter of time Judson was indeed the largest high school in Texas. I'll find the link for you.

Yea, i posted wrong. At one time they were the largest but there were other schools at times that were larger.

Either way, Judson ISD is growing and needs to keep pace building more schools and forget about athletic numbers and focus on academics.

I am still forming my opinion, but it is fine so far.

I grew up in Converse, and didn't have any problems. It's growing like the rest of the city. Just don't do anything dumb like leaving things unlocked...like everywhere else.

I've heard a lot of great comments about Shertz.

I am viewing what everyone has said about living in San Antonio Texas?...LOL you people I am moving there to San Antonio Texas soon, I am currently residing in New Jersey just minutes away from New York City and, if you people think that it is bad to live in San Antonio? guess again; try even visiting here in New Jersey and New York and you would thank God you live in San Antonio Texas with the exception of East Texas past the 98th Meridian (lol). I think you people there in San Antonio Texas have it made, palm trees, river walk, laid back people, the food, slower pace of life, here in New Jersey you have the highest property taxes in the Nation, the homes start at nearly $400.000 property taxes are between $6000-$12000 dollars a year, what a joke. I have been living in New Jersey from Oklahoma for the past 12 years, I'm tired of the attitudes here, the fast pace everyone is in a hurry and they will cut you off in traffic just to go no where. I am glad I fell in love with San Antonio Texas...Yippee

Try living in Newark New Jersey and talk about Ghetto "Son", there is nothing Ghetto about San Antonio compared to Newark New Jersey....
