It is the smallest and BEST Big City in America. Went to bootcamp there in 1997 and fell in love with San Antonio. Returned thrice over the next 20 years for different Air Force training and such. Retired out of the Air Force and MOVED to San Antonio. Ya, the summers can suck balls. But the people are always polite and the green all summer long is very welcomed!!!
@@shadayfreeman4293 i got married and my husband lived in New Mexico . We still live in New Mexico and I’m dying to get back to central Texas at least. 😂. I’ve had enough of New Mexico.
@@sooverit3376 Aww how sweet. lol. Were there any tornadoes in Central Texas where you were? It looks like its so much cheaper in San Antonio for renting.
@@shadayfreeman8669 No tornadoes when I lived there. I’m thinking renting is pretty expensive now, but of course, everything is much more expensive these days.
You're so right. Thank you, friend. I was thinking about moving over there. It's sooo beautiful. I will definitely do more research about the rent pricing. God bless you and your husband. I hope that God works it out for you two to back to the place that you love. ❤️
Aw Jeff! You came back to San Antonio! You sure tugged the tears out of me 🥲 you truly captured my beautiful city and reminded me that I need to get back out downtown! Just like you’ve said in your Arizona videos for those that say they’re bored there-gotta get out there and explore! And we truly have so much to do here. I’m sorry you came out with all this rain we’ve been getting. It’s become Seattle, Tx over here. We haven’t had this much consecutive rain days since the summer of 2007, but you captured some powerful storm clouds. Love the music, the video, and the San Antonio history you shared. Thanks for coming! ⭐️
My family was stationed in Fort Sam Houston during the mid to late 1950's and this bringing back so many fond memories for me. I love this video. Thank You Very Much for sharing this video.
I like San Antonio, the people are very friendly, laidback atmosphere. I call it FUN CITY, USA. cause there is so much to see and do. Great video. I didn't see one policeman.
I was stationed for 2 months at Ft. Sam Houston in 1974 and really liked San Antonio. The river walk is a lot more crowded than I remember. We were actually discouraged from going there and I think it was off limits at night because serviceman were targeted for I don’t remember what. I didn’t feel all that scared though. I was just a poor private so all I could afford was the free areas like the Alamo and tower of America’s.
Rivewalk should be crowded to a degree for businesses to stay interesting and relevant. Otherwise it can end up like a ghost town like St. Louis and other cities in the Midwest and South
It’s a typical city that likes to party. There is always something to do. We have art shows, live music, festivities of all kinds. For the summer, we are surrounded by lakes and rivers, we have theme parks, places to go on hikes or camp. A drive to the beach is about three hours too. Nice place to start a family. The food is great too.
@@vicentavalencia9304 No, plenty of places to shop, but you’re going to love HEB! They are all over. Look up apartments in Stone oak, by far the best location, other places would be Thousand Oaks, Shavano park, universal city, great North west area. Stay more north if you can 👌🏼
There are many interesting places to visit in San Antonio and surrounding Hill Country. Some of my favorites are the Pearl District, King Williams District, Natural Bridge Cavern, Japanese tea garden (Jingu House), Schlitterbahn, Comal River tubing, Canyon Lake, San Fernando Cathedral, Historic Market Square, Grist Mill and the 5 historic missions. In the Hill country surrounding SA, there are also many swimming holes, wineries, breweries & bed/breakfast in small historic towns. Austin is an hour north and good for a day trip. The river walk water is Spring fed and actually crystal clear. The silt and vegetation makes it appear somewhat murky. We were surprised when our River Cruise tour guy scooped up the water with a clear bottle
Thank you for wonderful video! It is really interesting and motivating! Cannot wait when all of us start travel again! Thank you for helping to promote tourism! WOW
My city! Definitely a really cool place to visit and has a nice, laid-back atmosphere. That being said, I would love to live in the DFW area or somewhere in the Hill Country.
San Antonio is a great City and will change very soon. What you see today will not be the same in a short time. 1 million people are expected to move here from other parts of the country within 15 years. Also the Canary islanders are Spanish not Portuguese. My family are descendants. Good video
a lot of people like to talk trash about San Antonio....but it arguably has the best downtown in Texas with stuff to actually do as opposed to just pretty office buildings to look at, it has beautiful suburbs, and it has beautiful small hill country towns surrounding it...yes the inner city has rough areas but its pretty country feeling so the danger is overblown
Thanks bro. Nice video of my city even if it was a bit overcast that day. On. clear day even better ! Next time visit Pearl District, Monte Vista, Natural Bridge ..
don't forget to take a ride around the city to see the rest of it's wonderful sights. the 410 loop on the southern side is especially special. you'll see the real 3rd world sights that is SA. bring your pick-up and you'll be able to grab you some free furniture that's on display along the interstate. but make sure you have plenty of time to spare due to the constant traffic jams you'll be sitting in
That is the George Witte Building located at 135 E. Commerce street (78205). George's son Alfred was the benefactor of the world famous Witte Museum on N. Broadway.
@@dudefromkc6182 If by store, you mean Lucky's Food Mart, then yes. It's just west of that building. I'm not familiar with any Chinese restaurant on that block, though.
San Antonio's about 70% a dump, but love the old world charm of downtown/river walk. river's normally not that brown, must have been the earlier storm.
Assuming the gal in the black shirt and jean shorts is with your crew... If not we just witnessed the single longest sustained stalking event ever to be publicly televised lol on a real note though, very informative!
Planning to move back to Texas this is my choice, good hospitals, good schools, low tax , lots of veterans and 1st responders retire here, low cost of living. Best of all is the loving community of people ❤.
Where did you get the information about the Portuguese? I’m a bit of a Texas history buff and I’ve never heard anything like that. San Antonio was colonized by the Spanish, and the river walk didn’t come about for hundreds of years after that. Also, the defenders of the Alamo were “Texican,” not American, although a large number of them were born in the US. But the United States was not involved in the conflict.
I just found a reference to the canary islanders on the Texas State Historical Association’s website. They were instrumental in laying out the main plaza and some streets, but the river walk system was not started by them. They arrived in San Antonio in 1731 and the river walk wasn’t conceived until the 20th century after the downtown area flooded. www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/canary-islanders
12:40 Fortunately For Texas, the War was won at Goliad. The Mexicans sued for peace. After Texians captured their General commander, Santa Ana! Thus, Making San Antonia a great Summer get way for all Texans and Americans to visit!
Summer is brutal, too hot and too dry. Can’t really enjoy outdoor from mid-May to Mid-Oct. Not many good paying jobs. Other than that, it’s nice and relatively cheap to live here.
Yep let them know how cheap it is, they will flock like they’re doing it in Florida and Arizona life is X times more expensive now because of too many people moving to these states

You got your wars confused, but otherwise a really good video. The Alama was the Texas Revolution, The Mexican-American war additions were further west.
The Riverwalk now looks like a continuous Disney Land/Christmas party. Back in 1992 it was none of them - then it was just beautiful and charming especially at night - and so romantic with just the candles. Sent from Germany. Did the San Antonio Conservation Society give up in the meantime ?
Just got back from there. Homeless people all over pooping on the sidewalks, traffic is horrible and not much to do. Did visit the Alamo and enjoyed it.
One of the main reasons for the homeless is because there are more military bases than any other city in America. Many of the homeless are vets who have ptsd.
The truly MAGICAL thing about San Antonio is that the Tourism Council has somehow convinced people from around the world to visit a literal Mud DITCH running through the middle of one of America's biggest ghettos....

SATX is the a big city with the small town feel. Love it here. The best thing I did for my family is to move from California to San Antonio.
I miss San Antonio..just not the heat and humidity
Just hope you didn't bring the socialists ideologies that destroyed California with you

What a beautiful city. I've never been there but I've heard from Texans say it's a great place.
Its very beautiful city...just unbearable hot and humid

The Riverwalk has been upgraded. More pleasant when less crowded. This was the weekend.

IMO, I find San Antonio to be one of the nicer big cities in the US.
ever considered moving here? to San Antonio. I operate a real estate company here :)
@@dariomamborealestate9683 I like it in Montana
I am interested in checking it out this summer. It really caught my eye.
I live here,and I never get tired of going to the river walk:)
Good job! Well done, lad! Here in Europe we have a similar location, it is the Oude Gracht in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
The background music made this video so enjoyable, I'll be going to San Antonio next week c:
How was it?
The best video about San Antonio.. Thank you for sharing :)

Thanks for the video. Been living in SA since 2011. I like it. Subscribed.
Living in Arizona now it's you !
Very nice & pretty I like how it's stands out from other cities in North American
river walk reminds me of when i was in spain
edit: ok now that you’re showing the rest of the city it looks A LOT like spain
I think that this is the best city in the state of Texas because of the river walk.
Smells like a river. There's no sewage in it. Come on...
It’s definitely nice to visit. It’s an underrated tourist city but I prefer Dallas and Houston as far as all around cities.
Plano is the best city, San Antonio is trash. I lived in both places so I know.
@@sunshinesista9784 Okay. It doesn't make a difference for me. I can only live in Canada.
My feeling about America is in the same way as how Donald Trump feels about Mexico.
My city! Definitely a really cool place to visit and has a nice, laid-back atmosphere. That being said, I would love to live in the DFW area or somewhere in the Hill Country.
DFW hot as forty hells.... Lol
Invite me over please!, I wish I could meet there

That was really cool, I really liked the way you filmed it too. Do you have a video on Sea World or Six Flags talking more about the parks?
For a while I was pretty certain that he was following the blondie with the black shirt and blue jean shorts 8:25 I kept seeing her reappear 🤔
Anyone else from sa and still in sa watching videos about sa cause u love sa. hi.
hi great vid
Thank you. I like your video😊
Thanks ,nice touring

Coisa mais linda essa cidade.
Love San Antonio ❤️
Are there any restrooms along the Riverwalk ?
Amazing ❤️
I would love to visit San Antonio
You should come in the holidays especially Christmas with all those lights it's beautiful ❤️
Looks like a great place to spend some time.
It's like a Spanish version of NOLA❤️

That is the George Witte Building located at 135 E. Commerce street (78205). George's son Alfred was the benefactor of the world famous Witte Museum on N. Broadway.

Go see Corpus Christi next.
I live in Houston and I hate it. Want to move to San Antone !!!
3:44 I live in San Antonio. Currently July 21st 2022. 7:15 pm. 101 outside 🤣
Go see the west side of San Antonio very nice people would recommend 😍
We went to San Antonio 5 years ago for vacation. We had a bad experience with salt grass steak house on the river walk.
Lol your fault for going to a generic steakhouse among some of the most iconic restaurants in the city.
San Antonio's about 70% a dump, but love the old world charm of downtown/river walk. river's normally not that brown, must have been the earlier storm.

How far is the downtown riverwalk from san antonio international airport, what the best budget deals for hotel to book?
Can you please share google map of the area you walked around? like where to start and when to go
i wanna live there soooo bad

I went there in 08 nice city…
You got your wars confused, but otherwise a really good video. The Alama was the Texas Revolution, The Mexican-American war additions were further west.
Nice video, although he forgot to mention the two homeless people at 4:08 to 4:12
Moved here 26 years ago,love it; the only thing San Antonians hate is the Governor.
Why? He's great! San Antonio could use more conservative values anyway...
Yes, San Antonio is a mecca for liberal nut-jobs.
Man San antonio is basically Disney land
Love this place but hate poor horses working all day 😕
Beautiful scenert, just want to hang out

“They got some big ol’ women down in San Antonio.” -Charles Barkley
Just got back from there. Homeless people all over pooping on the sidewalks, traffic is horrible and not much to do. Did visit the Alamo and enjoyed it.
One of the main reasons for the homeless is because there are more military bases than any other city in America. Many of the homeless are vets who have ptsd.
I beg to differ. The 'irrigation' river was built by settlers from the Canary Island of Lanzarote. The Canary Islands belong to Spain.
One other thing, Travis was only born in South Carolina, but he grew up in Alabama, and moved to Texas from there.
Alamo city, military city, count down city- 210
I heard they got some big ole women down there. Great Churros though.
The truly MAGICAL thing about San Antonio is that the Tourism Council has somehow convinced people from around the world to visit a literal Mud DITCH running through the middle of one of America's biggest ghettos....
