They also have a drop box if you just need to drop off documents but you need to label them correctly so they get to where they need to go. Lock your car and don't leave valuables in your car.

I like that this is indoors, so even if there's a line, you are probably going to wait comfortably inside the building. While you wait, they have some amazing posters with some history about voting through the decades and how much it's changed throughout the years. This location has about 15 voting screens, so the line usually moves really quickly. The process is always very seamless and the staff working there is very friendly. Let's go out and vote San Antonio!

Southtown is my favorite neighborhood in San Antonio to visit and hang out. Great museums and studios there like the Contemporary at Blue Star and Garcia Art Glass. Of course, can't forget The Pearl (former brewery compound converted to a landscape of eateries, shops, hotel and more). The Riverwalk extension connects downtown to The Pearl. San Antonio is filled with historical sites, monuments, museums, etc. Lots of off the beaten path finds as well.

I told Doc I wish I had met a man like that in my lifetime. It was nice to see, lucky lady? Maybe she booked it for the fellow. In any case, Lovely memory for them.

They have the paper work outside, you're not allowed in the building until you scan the QR code. The wait time was 171 minutes. So I was able to leave & come back. I got there at 12p & came back around 3p. They text you & let you know how much longer you have to wait. Which was good. They're still doing social distancing. A lot of people did not have mask on. The clerk that was sitting in the vitals area was very rude. I asked did I need to sign or do other steps besides the QR code & she off the back tells me oh we can't take you. cListen if y'all don't like y'all jobs or not a peoples person they need to find something else.

When it comes to jail accommodations, the bar is set pretty low, but BCADC fails to even meet those…read morestandards. It is a unique facility capable of hosting 4,563 guests spread over 100,355 sq ft. Guests are treated to long periods of reflection while racked up, as well as recreation, and three "meals" are served a day at no additional cost. Except long check in/check out times. Please note that the shuttle only runs to the facility but not from. The dining area is as uninspired as the entrees. I hear the staff is no longer trained at The Academy for Massage but can still reposition your spine if insistent. The no cell phones policy is laughably out of date. I saw someone there with wooly toes as well. If at all possible, find another facility for your visit to San Antonio.

On my drive about 15 minutes in I received another text saying 4 people were ahead of me and my wait time was 59 minutes. So clearly the app lied. Once I made it in the office Rhee was only 2 people working on passports so now I understood what I had a 59 minute wait. They only take checks or money orders for the passport fee. The other fees can be paid for debit or credit card. Eat before you come here because you truly don't know how long or short the wait will be. Like everywhere else employees might be out do to covid.

The Blue Hole, as modest as it is, should still be a bucket list item for San Antonio dwellers…read more Along with other springs in the Headwaters area, it's the source of the San Antonio river, which has shaped our city and its culture for ages. Logistics. Best times to go are evenings and weekends when it's easier to find parking on the campus of the University of the Incarnate Word. Suggestions: park near the Natatorium and cross the river on a footbridge. Or, park near the Student Engagement Center. The path to the Blue Hole takes you past a sand volleyball court. Turn left into a wooded area, and you'll see a low stone wall encircling the spring. Sometimes the spring is dry, and sometimes it is flowing freely. Before you visit, check water level of the Edwards Aquifer. When these pictures were taken, the J-17 well was at 672' and rising. When the spring is flowing, the water surges up through cracks in the limestone and spills out into the muddy, leafy riverbed. Small fish dart around in the water. The spring is a small and humble place compared to the river as it goes through the artsy Museum Reach, the famous Riverwalk, the naturalistic Mission Reach, and beyond. Nevertheless, the Blue Hole has a sacred feeling. There is a bench nearby inscribed with the dictum, "Be still and know."

Today was the first time in 11 years I've visited it and I was lucky enough to see it teaming with water and tiny little fish nipping at things. Thanks to all the recent rain, the headwaters seem to have awoken and the natural spring began to flow. It looks different from the water in the river in the middle of the campus, looking clearer, cooler, and more inviting to stick your feet in (please don't). In fact, when I graduated, my dad filled an empty plastic water bottle from the spring and to this day it sits on a shelf in their living room. The water is crystal clear and looks drinkable. (again, please don't) The area is kept relatively clean with little to no litter surrounding the wall of the spring or immediate areas of the headwaters. A bench nearby is inscribed with "Be still and know," which wasn't there 11 years ago, but is still a nice touch to sit, ponder, meditate, and reflect. One of the more secluded spots, the sand volleyball court is probably the closest thing you'll catch a glimpse of. It's not too far within the woods where it's scary, but just far enough from the hustle and bustle of campus life.
