So the big question is, why a blog about my sub-division? No, this isn’t Desperate Housewives or anything like that. It really isn’t about my neighborhood, but it is about San Antonio.
I look at it this way. If you have never been to Europe but your friend lived there, would you want to know if the friend lived in France or Belgium? If they lived in Italy, would it matter if they lived in Rome or in Naples? You may not care, but for a lot of people, there is a difference between Military Highway over by Castle Hills and Military Drive over by Lackland.
So, with that in mind, I live in Silver Creek. It is a sub-division in the Great Northwest part of San Antonio, and our Zip Code is 78250.
That’s it. Now you can see where I’m coming from. But as an added bonus, it is my intent to cultivate correspondents from other areas of San Antonio to report on the sights they happen to see in our city.
I lived in S.A. for nearly 12 years -- stationed at Brooks, Randolph (twice), Ft Sam, and "Big Willy" -- and I have very few fond memories of it. Just not my cup of tea -- I'm a fan of sub-zero temps, snow, and no traffic jams (curse you, Loop 410)!
ReplyDeleteBut I do appreciate your blog -- you seem to be doing something like what I'm doing in the community that I have come to love and call home...an online "fan club" of your home.
Good job.
