re: San Antonio - An Objective Big Picture Vi

8/24/2020San Antonio has a well established hiking trails throughout the city that are also popular for bikes, joggers, and walkers. I discovered this during lockdown and started appreciating just how much the city preserved trails even in the suburbs and easy google search will show various access points of trails on Military Hwy, Ingram Park Via Transit, Eisenhower Park by Camp Bullis, Castle Rock, river walk sections, trails by the Spanish Missions... all are wonderfully connected. I used to have to go to Austin or Houston for fantastic Vietnamese pho soup, Korean bbque and bulgogi, Japanese ramen and sushi, Filipino sisig, Cajun seafood, and more but not anymore. SA finally have family owned Asian restaurants that can be compared to restaurants in San Diego, CA, Seattle, WA, WA D.C. and other cities. We have various Bakery Lorraine locations for authentic French pastries, boba tea shops, rolled Asian ice creams, and coffee shops other than Starbucks. Pearl Brewery complex has a Food Hall featuring variety of amazing food from Japanese ramen, Fletcher's Burgers, gourmet doughnuts, brewery, Brazilian food, and farmer's market every weekend. You would have to practically lock yourself in your house to not realize how much San Antonio developed and the diversity that exists here not only from military families throughout the city but transplants from coastal cities who could no longer afford the ridiculous taxes, property cost, and homeless population in their home states.
