Tips for trip to San Antonio?

Nagel's Guns on San Pedro. Was there a month ago and picked up some powder and primers. Also Dury's on Hot Wells blvd.

If you had a car ,I'd highly recommend the National Museum of the Pacific War about an hour away in Fredericksburg.Formerly the Nimitz museum.Need at least a full day for it though.

+1 on that. Fabulous museum. Better than D-Day Museum in New Orleans IMO.

Can you toss in a raft and do the river walk without paying for a boat ride?

No. Only river taxi is allowed in the river. No personal watercraft. But you can walk the paved sidewalk all along it. Riverwalk is best before Christmas at night when it's all lit up.

Great, thanks! And thanks Fate for your recommendations.

I went to HS in San Antonio. Sadly, most of the best places I remember exist no more. La Fogata is decent.

If you're stuck in downtown, you can always tour the Pearl beer factory. But don't mistakenly drink any.



Old local joke: How do y'all pronounce Pearl without the "P"?




An empty can!

Oh and check out the Sunken Gardens if you need to escape the Riverwalk crush but still want to get outside.

Which HS? - I went to Marshall.
