South Side of San Antonio With Explosive Growth Due to Eagle Ford

Carpe Diem link here.

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;
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.

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.

Oh, five things. I forgot: the River Walk. And it's getting longer.
