I am going to TEXAS!

Marc NY · 02-12-2011, 12:19 PM

I am going to be in San Antonio, Texas for 5 days.

I am going to be in town for a Brac Meeting... tomorrow through Wednesday.

Is there any Fanatics that might be able to show me around town and a few of the great sites while I am down there?

Thanks,

Focks · 02-12-2011, 12:28 PM

So typical. Some damn yankee comes to town looking for a free meal.

SSR Fan · 02-12-2011, 12:54 PM

And leave all this snow, wind and cold behind ???

I'm jealous !!!!

Have a good trip.

Jim

Yes Jim I need a break!

See ya when I get back.

Focks · 02-12-2011, 04:19 PM

Marc, unfortuantely San Antonio is not am easy day trip.... if you happen to come through the Dallas / Arlington (I heard there was a Government Motors Co. there) area,.. that is another story.

JOHN317 · 02-12-2011, 04:39 PM

I hope someone from the SA area steps up to be your host and guide, but even if no one does make it a point to go to the River Walk. Have a great trip. I hope the weather has improved otherwise it won't be much different than upstate NY

P.S. Oh yeah, you might want to check out the Alamo also.

LTs SSR · 02-12-2011, 06:15 PM

Yahoooooo!!! Glad you get to see some sunshine!! Hey... you are half way to California.... I know some good restaurants here!!!

Just drove back from SA , if you wind up near the Riverwalk I would highly recommend Dick's Last Resort and also Howling At the Moon.

DOOPHUS · 02-12-2011, 10:07 PM

Hey, Marc . . . if no one from the San Antonio area volunteers, swing by Tucson on your way home and I'll buy you Lunch and/or Dinner.

We definitely don't want you to return to Cold Country hungry.

! ! ! ! ! !

Texas Charles · 02-12-2011, 10:25 PM

Marc stop by the Dallas/Ft. Worth area on your way back home and I will treat to you lunch at Babe's. Best fried chicken on the planet.

Marc came to the bowling alley to watch me bowl a few years back for one of the WDC's ....he didn't bowl just came to watch and I enjoyed it. We sipped a few beers together

and talked. I don't know if he bowls but I'm sure he will get a kick out of the pin setter at your alley ...I sure did
