It is amazing what happens when you leave the Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio. You discover the rest of San Antonio. We discovered Main Plaza, operated by the Main Plaza Conservancy a few weeks ago. It has many of the right things going for it, including vendor, moveable tables and chairs, foundations, shade and events.
Mom was visiting over the weekend, so we took a break and made a trip down to San Antonio, where we walked much of the new (2009) portion of the Riverwalk on Museum Reach.
