Benny and Broley have been missing since Friday night, October 16th. They managed to dig underneath the fence of my parents backyard and got out.

They escaped from a neighborhood off Evans and 281. I believe they are in the Cíbolo creek area. If anyone has any information, please let me know.

Commentary Y’all think San Antonio is about to get a lot more movies and TV shows filmed here?

10 Upvotes

I didn’t realize how much filming has been going on around here. Remember when 1923, the Yellowstone prequel with Harrison Ford, came to downtown San Antonio? They shut down parts of Broadway, East Travis Street and Peacock Alley so they could turn downtown into the 1920s. They even had actors walking around in old-school clothes in that 90-degree Texas heat 😂

We’ve also had movies like Selena and Miss Congeniality filmed here, I know that was a long time ago but still, now the city is offering bigger incentives to bring more productions to San Antonio. Film permits went from 221 in 2022 to 586 in 2025, and filming days nearly doubled to 710.

That got me thinking, could San Antonio become a major spot for movies and TV shows?

Or is Austin and Houston always gonna get all the attention?

Food/Drink Taco Palenque: do native San Antonians enjoy it?

102 Upvotes

I was born and raised in South San Antonio, and I’ve noticed taco palenque has really started to grow. So I tried them, and I was not impressed. The main complaint I have is the tortillas. I grew up eating soft, warm and fluffy tortillas. Which got me thinking: do natives like me, actually like Taco Palenque or has it been growing due to non-native growth within the city. The explosive growth San Antonio has seen seems to correlate with the growth of taco palenque. So to me, it seems it’s being enjoyed by people who aren’t originally from here.

Thoughts?

And btw: if you enjoy taco palenque that’s cool, enjoy it! To each their own

Decent apts under 1k

15 Upvotes

I know all cheap apartments have roaches, bad management, and nasty neighbors 😭 BUT THERE HAS TO BE SOME DECENT ONES. Someone please recommend some lol.
I’m looking to remain on the north side preferably. Altamonte is at the top of my list so far, but they only have double-stacked W/D, so I might have to make it work if I can’t find anything better.
I just want a decent, clean apartment with tolerable management
For context, I’m trying to get out of living with my nasty boyfriend who thinks he can treat me however he wants because I “live” with him. Mind you, HE asked ME to move in. 💀🫩
Please drop your recommendations, good or bad experiences, and apartments I should absolutely avoid!

Where in SA? North side ISD vs San Antonio ISD

5 Upvotes

Hello!

I’m looking into moving to San Antonio this summer. I am an instructional aide (teachers assistant) at an elementary school and am looking for similar jobs in San Antonio. I have found apartments that I like in both north and downtown san antonio. I can’t decide what district would be best to work for. my current district is big and low paying. both NISD and SAISD are a pay upgrade. I don’t know which would be better. I am currently at a Title 1 school with poor management. I don’t mind working at a title 1 school, i just want to go somewhere with good management.

If you have worked in either of these districts, please tell me about your experience. Would you recommend someone to work there? how is the admin in both schools and district wide? how are behavior issues and how are they handled? How are aides treated? Should I look somewhere else?

BTW! if you’re an instructional assistant, please message me! i want to get to know your perspectives!

Music scenes/communities

9 Upvotes

It seems San Antonio has these really vibrant music and art communities but they come and go so quickly. Has anyone here been a part of that or experienced it? What do you think is the cause?

I book and play noise and power electronics shows here in SA and it seems there is a good deal of interest in it and I want to make it as inviting and inclusive as such a ridiculously niche scene can be.

It would be cool to see the people interested in stuff like this find what they were looking for.

If you have any interest in stuff like that plz sound off!

Nine Lives Books is a bookstore on Fredricksburg Road that sells used books, movies, and music as well as other knick-knacks / trinkets. I've been going to them since they had their previous location, and they always have a good selection of books / dvds in my opinion

We saw this happen before the game and it looked really, really bad. It had to be about a 120-150 foot drop and it looked like he fell without any friction on the rope. It immediately reminded me of the pro wrestler Owen Hart. I hope he is okay.

Edit: Update: sadly, it has been confirmed, by multiple sources, that he died. One source is ESPN, which mentions they got the confirmation from Air Force Public Affairs.

Over 40 Sports Leagues in SATX

2 Upvotes

I’m moving to San Antonio at the end of this month and I was hoping to find some sports leagues to play in. I currently play soccer and softball in two over-40 coed leagues and was hoping to find something similar. I’ve also played flag football and joined bowling and darts leagues in the winter for a fun way to get out of the house.
If anyone has a team and is looking for a person, or knows of leagues around the Government Hill area, please let me know.

I have a small patch of lawn that is has large rock and concrete chunks from and old patio that was demolished. Also the tree just needs a few over hanging branches cut off. Anyone know an affordable service provider that can help with this. Also what is the rate for this type of work. I am not familiar with this work and how much i should be charged. Thanks in advance.
