My permanent residence (as permanent as anything in this life) is on the north side of San Antonio.
For people unfamiliar with San Antonio, four things:
a) it is one of the best-laid out commuting big cities I have ever seen; separated nicely into small communities; envision a huge pecan pie with at least four pieces, the northwest, the northeast, the southeast, and the southwest;The story linked at CarpeDiem is a huge, huge story. San Antonio is the second largest city in Texas, second only to Houston, and still feels like a small town because of item a) above.
b) in addition to those four quadrants, one can divide the city a simple way, north/south. The north looks like me; the south looks like my wife (one of us is Scandinavian; one of us is Hispanic whose grandfather swam across the river, and was subsequently deported);
c) the city hosts the largest Martin Luther King parade in the US; and,
d) we're all united by one team, the Spurs.
Oh, five things. I forgot: the River Walk. And it's getting longer.
