No, but neither are radio stations and most everything else posted in the "City and metro news" thread, and actually most SA development in any thread.

All other issues aside, I think that a person from New York City with a master's degree in City and Regional Planning is a mayor who is sensitive to our interests.

I'm both proud and surprised she won. Hard to believe San Antonio has a black mayor and one that was actually elected.

Good news.

Google Fiber coming to San Antonio
Quote:
It’s done – San Antonio is going to become a Google Fiber city.

The Internet giant’s blazing fast gigabit network is headed to the Alamo City, the Mountain View, California-based company will announce Wednesday, according to several City Hall sources.

The confirmation that San Antonio will join a short list of so-called “Fiber cities” is nearly 18 months in the making and comes after disappointment that it had been passed over in the first round of announcements.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds just, weird.. It's mirrored, but the van isn't. The Marriott looks really funky next to the Grand Hyatt.

The funny thing is that they flipped the background photo so that they could match the skyline on the service vehicle, which is photo-shopped into the foreground.

How funny.

Woohoo! What's the timeline for this? Is it anywhere in the city limits? Will I get it out here in Stone Oak?

I do. Not much happens in the San Antonio threads, so the backwards photo was actually something to talk about.

He's got a point. You can go weeks without updates or discussion on this site.

We're all pinning our hopes on the Frost Tower, and an unlikely to happen CPS building.
