More parks.
On that note, I'd want a better ISP. I've never had the opportunity to use Grande, though, so maybe I could save additional stress there.

I am sure if they would have opened it in South Town it would still be open, and it would have become the world headquarters of Home Court America. The probably would have changed their corporate name to Home Court South Town.

First off, Home Court Anerica was an indepent operation with one location. Second, they building owner stopped leasing to the HCA people and sold the property when he got an offer too good to turn down.

Third, the place called Home Court America may have been there from 2006-2008, but before that it was still a gym under another name (can't remember the name). I do remember Antonio Daniels playing there when he was a Spurs player still. He was traded in 2003.

Just because I'm curious (I have no idea what Home Court is, or Tip Top), do you mean it was open FOREVER? Because Kiddie Park has been around since, oh, the beginning of time

(And is freaking packed on any holiday and every summer day, so obviously booming after 80+ years, much to my kids' dismay as they beg to go and I don't want to face the crowds, but I can cycle there, so that's a bonus)

In'N'Out Burger.

Kind of surprised no one else has mentioned that yet. You know, being San Antonio and all.

You're not missing anything. I had Grande for 6 years because that's all I could get where I lived. Lots of outages, especially at night, and they always made mistakes on the billing.

I agree. Disney is a welcome site to me. Disney already have it in CA and FL. They should bring it in TX somewhere within the vicinity of SeaWorld for the park hopper tickets.

Wegmans. Any NE people on this board will understand why. Probably one of (if not THE) best grocery store chains...in the world.

An Italian market is sorely needed. I really miss Paletta's. An old school butcher shop like McBee's would also be welcomed.
