San Antonio Redux: Joske’s Rivercenter
I love the architecture in San Antonio and I also love how the city works to preserve the wonderful architectural assets of the city. The downtown RiverCenter Mall is going through a bit of an update (it was built in the mid-80’s) and the main anchor is the Joske’s department store footprint. The building is a downtown icon.

Bye Bye Wahoo’s, Hello La Barbecue
I liked Wahoo’s on South Congress, but it was never busy and the place seemed a little ratted out. La Barbecue is effin’ delicious.

The Reality of Cheating (On a Diet)
Oh, admit it! You’ve done it once or twice. I’ve decided that being healthy means allowing myself to have a spontaneous, unhealthy treat now and then. You only live once, so they say.

All The Way at Zach Scott Theatre is a Must See!
I was lucky enough to be seated on the third row in, just slightly left of center for this fantastic production. It was a very moving production full of emotion, makes you slightly uncomfortable, and even a little scared at times. It takes you back to a time –not too far away, when things were very different, yet oddly similar, to how they are now. The parallels certainly hit home.
You are completely immersed in the struggles of the African-American community and the trials of the President. Skip American History classes and take your children (language advisory) to see this play for a history lesson they won’t forget.

Mecum Auto Auction in Houston 4/9-11
I’ll be vacationing in east Texas for the weekend, but if I wasn’t, I’d be high-tailing it to Houston to go to the Mecum Auto Auction. It looks like one hell of a show.
