Quaint shops, pubs, restaurants, and of course bbq joints! Beautiful state park and Chisholm trail. Caldwell County Courthouse boasts extraordinary architectural elements. Just about 30-40 minutes from Austin, it makes for a perfect day trip or overnighter. Easily walkable. Friendly folks. Perfectly charming old west town.

Selma enjoys the best of both worlds...small town or country living and the ancillary benefits of being near a big city. The city is strategically located near Ratama Park and The Forum shopping center. There also plenty of places to dine and shop. Back in the 1970s, the city of Selma was known as a speed trap. Drivers along the IH 35 corridor knew to slow down before, during or after driving in Selma. If not, there was a high probability you would receive a ticket. Nowadays, the speed trap persona is rarely mentioned. Most folks view Selma as a great place to reside with conveniences of living near a big city. Folks that live in Selma frequently commute back and forth to San Antonio, TX.

And Selma's enough to make you want to hang out here from dusk til dawn. Which would be quite a feet. Although trying to snake your way in here in traffic can be tough. But I don't mean to wine. On with the review. Salma is on the outskirts of San Antonio on the northeast side, right when you're heading to Austin or coming in from Austin. It's not too far out of town, and there are some pretty cute places and some decent food. And all the chain restaurants you can imagine seem to be here, and even a little bit of boba. It's nice here and traffic is not as bad as it is in some parts of San Antonio, and definitely not as bad as Austin, Houston or Dallas. It's a somewhat typical suburb and not too fancy compared to some. I like it, although I probably wouldn't live here.

Would recommend!

UCPL has always come through for me when I need to do a last minute print or scan if I'm away from home. The staff is from another time, a time where people actually have a mad passion for books and providing for the community (I love this). They offer many after school activities for students and whenever I'm there the computers and study rooms are filled with students finishing papers and working on homework. The technology is a bit outdated, older computers with a tricky log-in system but the older gentleman who mans the front desk will gently do it for you. Don't let the smoky smell scare you off, they have a huge collection of audio books (my jam), VHS(lol)/DVD's, and newly released books. I guess libraries don't have a certain smell, the downtown library smells like an old boot, while the New Braunfels library actually smells like a book. The highlight of my trip was getting my own old-fashioned purple laminated library card! Check it out and support your local library!

The dial in audio tour was unexpected and wish I had saw the sign before we were close to leaving. The ground are kept up very well and the fishing isn't bad either. They def bite here.

My family and I came here after we had dinner and it was really nice to cap of the day trip with Zedler Farm Handicap accessible. My uncle's mom is in a wheelchair and were able to get her from the parking lot (handicap parking lot is at the foot of the bridge), over the bridge and to the gazebo.

The Mill has been restored and is a great place to visit, the damn keep the river full of water and we saw many kids using a long rope tied to a tree and swinging out over the river and jumping in, they were having fun. The museum was nice as well. They also have a lodge if you want to stay overnight. So if you are thinking of a day trip or a picnic this is a place to try. Would I (we) go back? Yes some time in the future for sure.
