Viva Mr. Pinata! Puro San Antonio!…read more Avi Avilos is an artist who made a series of awesome pinata suits that he wears to events, parties, and fundraisers! His outfit is incredibly kickass. Of course, he's always willing to pose for a picture! He'll even help coordinate all of your pinata needs- need a custom commissioned pinata or decor? He's your guy. I've heard he even has a pinata photo booth he can bring to your next pinata party. Got a Pinata Protest? He'll outfit you. This guy is a celebrity. Please don't brandish a stick at him though.

A larger-than-life figure of a boy is pulling on a rope connected to a crescent moon made of stainless steel butterflies. The sculpture draws attention to the Greenline, which is s fun park but under-used. It will be fun to come back in the evening and see the sculpture lit up.

Such a cool sculpture! This public work of art on Brooks…read moreCity Base is a wonderful statue! It was built by Brad Oldham to beautify a public park with an outdoor amphitheater. The statue is all chromed out, with a kid pulling a rope, like he's flying a kite made of butterflies in the shape of a crescent moon. Interesting! The butterfly moon is cantilevered over the water, so it looks perilously perched on the edge of the pond, as if to defy gravity. It's as if the boy running with the kite string is the local individual, striving to drive into what the future holds, and the crescent moon is the community rising up behind him. Moving! Please don't climb on it.

2017 - Southside from Cesar Chavez to Mitchell, down S. St. Mary's and Roosevelt:…read moreSunday, March 26 was a near perfect day for this event. Plenty of sunshine. A plethora of bike riders. Almost too many for us pedestrians. I realize this is a fitness kind of thing, but I'd really like to see more food items offered along the route. Lots of bike and bike accessory vendors. Some vendors offered their items at a really reasonable price. Case in point, the peace initiative folks offered Aguas Frescas for $1.00. The cucumber water was just delicious and refreshing. At the end of our walk, we sat in my sister's front yard. That would be the Peptol Bismol pink house next to Dollar General. The St. Gerard Royals were out in force hawking water, pickles and popcorn to fund-raise. A great vantage point for just hanging out. For obvious reasons, I prefer this route over the one on Broadway.

Love this San Antonio event. If the weather cooperated it's a perfect day for a community ride. All…read morewheels are invited: bicycles, tricycles, unicycles,skateboards, scooters, skates , in-line skates and strollers. It's so cool to see home made creations and even old time bicycles. You see low rider influenced bikes to fat tire bikes. Bikes that look like boats and others look like floats. You have mini bikes and bikes 8 feet tall. Pets on leashes and pets in baskets. Let's not forget the jams! People have their music preference playing on personal speakers attached to their personal rides. The city has all resources available from animal to health services. They give away items like backpacks and water bottles to trees. Everyone is out having a good time. Downtown streets are closed off and the freedoms to ride without a care is so gratifying. It's such a cool even and love it even more when scheduled in cool weather

On my weekend runs/walks down the Riverwalk, I would usually see him perched by a tree or wandering about minding his own business. On the rare times I'm at the Riverwalk at its busiest, I've caught him making rounds to different tables - basically looking for any scraps any friendly person was willing to give him. He was such a sweet duck and I'm gonna miss seeing him hangin' out. Hopefully, he's found happiness in that big duck pond in the sky. RIP, Georgie.

They prepared us for what to expect and came around to ask us if we needed help when we were in the thick of it. It was a wonderful experience!

I used to do lots of volunteer work back in high school and it's always rewarding helping those in need. It was our first time going to the SA food bank and man, it was such a huge space! Very clean and organized space. We entered the main conference room to hear more about the SA food bank which was good info to hear out. Then we shifted over to the main room to help sort all the donated food into the categories that they had. Overalls it was a great event on giving back and meeting other Yelpers doing the same thing. The best thing is also being able to make this whole thing to have our families be involved as well! We got to take home a Yelp bento box and some snacks. Thank you SA food bank and Fernanda for organizing this!!

Alamo running through the heart of the district. This place gets raging every month during the First Friday of the month, where everyone comes out to see local artists, drink beer, and listen to live music! Parking can be challenging throughout this part of town. You can usually find something if you park along the back streets of King William. This is where I send out-of-towners to experience the 'puro' San Antonio- the best restaurants in town aren't on the Riverwalk, if you ask me! This part of town is very pedestrian friendly- with great walkability! There's great sidewalks, bike lanes and crosswalks. It's a scenic part of town, and worth checking out! Be sure to stop by over at The Friendly Spot for some beers, Bar America for some cocktails, and chips and salsa over at Rosarios!
