To all spurs fans living outside of SA..

[Friscospur]

I am thrilled to find out that I am moving back to SA in the near future!!!! There are a number of things that I miss about spurs country that most take for granted. What do you miss most about SA? Here is my list of ten:

Spurs
las palapas
oyster bake
championship celebrations
riverwalk
taco cabana
H.E.B
military drive
Rudy's BBQ
Jazzalive

[Marcus Bryant]

Cherry Street

Breakfast Tacos

Spurs games live and on TV
A freeway system that can take you 25 miles in 20 minutes

[Slomo]

People that actually say hi to strangers

A rarety in today's world :tu

btw Friscospur, what is the "miltary drive"?

[Friscospur]

spelling --OOPs!
-just cruising on Military Drive....a true staple of san antonio....

Taco Cabana

Olive Garden
Did I mention Taco Cabana?


:lol Hey, we have Olive Garden's here in Philly!

[Lonestar]

Living here in Tacoma Washington the last two years has been an eye opener. My neighbors know me as the weird guy who waves when they drive by. Oh well, what do you expect from a bunch of Sonics fans? I look forward to the day I can settle in with a plate of breakfast tacos, a large iced tea and the Express News sports page...Ahh sweet Nirvana.

[mrose31]

mmm... Chesters hamburgers.

[Marcus Bryant]

Living there makes you long for the Express-News? Yikes.

[biggerspursfanthanu]

Dont they shut military down on weekends still? Havent been down there on sunday in a long time. Used to put cop cars in every parking lot.

[mrose31]

Almost every spurs game on Tv.
Folklife festival
Fiesta
Mexican food that is not TEX-MEX

[mrose31]

I go to SA once or 2 a month and it seems like hwy system is getting much worse than it use to be will all toll roads they are planning to build. As far as traffic goes still best city hwy system in Tx.

[mrose31]

Oh and it would be nice again to be able to afford to live in the same city that I worked in like I did in San Antonio. Damn, I wish I could work out of my home or my job would transfer me to San Antonio.

[Kip Fanatic]

You know what. San Antonio Mexican food isn't all that. I really believe that Mexican food in Denver off of Federal is the best. Its actually Mexican food. Not Tex Mex. I am not knocking SA. I love this city and will never move as long as I can help it, but the Mex. food in Denver is way better.

[boutons]

anybody know authenitic, good Greek, Turk, Indian restaurants in SA?

[ChumpDumper]

They weren't there when I lived there, but I miss Malik's sammiches nonetheless.

[101A]

Moved to Western PA last month:


Don't Miss: HEAT, Traffic, Walter & Jeff

Miss:
A sports report that says anything about anything other than the Steelers - literally last Sun. they ran hilights from only 1 game - and the score of only one more! Opening weekend in the NFL. I'm figuring when the NBA starts this is an absolute black hole.

Barbecue - Went to what was supposed to be the best butcher in town - took 'em 4 tries before they could bring me a brisket that could actually be smoked - and that's the only way I'm going to get it.

Sausage - EVERYTHING up here is one or another version of bologna, Italian sausage or brattwurst - which are fine in there own right, but in SA we are kind of spoiled with the selection of good smoked, hot links, etc...from our local sausage shops (Kiolbasa, Opa's, etc)

Chorizo - variation of above, but COMPLETELY unattainable

When the winter gets here I'm sure I'll have a much longer list.

[Kip Fanatic]

Chorizo - variation of above, but COMPLETELY unattainable

Too many jokes. Must...lay...down!
:lmao

[50 cent]

Hmmm....

Chester's
Taco Cabana
Riverwalk
Spurs games in person
Mexican girls that put out

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Taco Cabana
Round the clock Spurs coverage
A highway system that wasn't designed by chimps and constantly under construction
zoning laws
fresh air
humidity less that 165%
the riverwalk
flood control

[Vashner]

Watch for the black salsa at las palapas... or something will be "ploping" in your toilet.

[Lonestar]

Living there makes you long for the Express-News? Yikes.


I've been around the state, around the country and around the world. Incredibly, the Express News is much better than most of the city papers that I come across. I'm probably just biased because nobody else carries enough Spurs news.

[TheWriter]

Almost every spurs game on Tv.

[TheWriter]

You know what. San Antonio Mexican food isn't all that. I really believe that Mexican food in Denver off of Federal is the best. Its actually Mexican food. Not Tex Mex. I am not knocking SA. I love this city and will never move as long as I can help it, but the Mex. food in Denver is way better.

Where the hell do you go for mex?

Seriously.

If you're in SA, I assume, go to La Tapatia on Fair Ave. right off of 37 across from Hope Depot. Tell me that's not real mexican food.

[Mr Dio]

Cherry Street

Why, your current job doesn't get you enough dick? :lmao

[ShoogarBear]

Put me down among those missing good, cheap, greasy Mexican food.

[peskypesky]

After 10 years in NYC, here's what I still miss about San Antone (in no particular order):

1. Taco Cabana
2. King William neighborhood
3. Tex-Mex (Chicano) people & culture
4. all the older neighborhoods near the city center (SAC area, Monte Vista, South Side, Jefferson HS area, Brackenridge Park area, etc)
5. Taco Cabana
6. Liberty Bar
7. Tacoland (R.I.P. Ram!)
8. Spurs games
9. San Antonio women
10. RiverWalk
11. big blue skies
12. Half-Price books
13. the beautiful Main Library in downtown S.A.
14. the laid-back San Antonio attitude
15. Taco Cabana
16. Tex-Mex food in general
17. the Hill Country

I could go on and on...

[peskypesky]

How could I forget?

Big Red!!!

[batman2883]

Fuck yeah Big Red is the thing id miss a lot too id have that shit shipped to me, does everyone remember when they use to have popsicles of big red too???

[hussker]

anybody know authenitic, good Greek, Turk, Indian restaurants in SA?

Indian: Simi's on Fredericksburg
Greek: John the Greek, I think it is by Fort Sam on Rittiman. (check out the Greek funstival in the fall at the St. Sophia's Greek Orthodox Church..AWESOME)
Turk: I am not knowing! (but for Good Turk-EY check out a deep fried one from anywhere!)

[batman2883]

mini and demo's or something like that off of 90 next to handy andy

[Lonestar]

How could I forget?

Big Red!!!


Back in the day going to the movies at Ingram Park Mall and getting a Big Red and a pickle or going to Mr. M and getting a Big Red and Chinese Candies.

[TOP-CHERRY]

I thought you guys were talking about the library. :lol

Yeah, Big Red rocks.

[Lonestar]

I thought you guys were talking about the library. :lol



:lol No the OTHER Big Red

[ChumpDumper]

That's the Big Enchilada

[Marcus Bryant]

Why, your current job doesn't get you enough dick? :lmao

Ahh, poor baby is mad. It's not my fault you were too stupid to get into the university whose sports program you live vicariously through.

[Mr Dio]

Mucus getting pissed off again about being my online bitch?
Sorry baby, Daddy loves his trick, now get back on the corner & earn your keep, You Cherry Street Ho.

[Marcus Bryant]

It's not surprising you hold yourself out to be one who makes other men his bitch. The alpha gay male tag suits you quite well.

[Mr Dio]

If anyone knows about gay men & getting tagged it is certainly you.

[Marcus Bryant]

Judging by how often you reach for the "fag..." line in the (I didn't go to) College Football Forum, I'd say you have everyone else beat in that department.

[Mr Dio]

Mucus, your Daddy is speaking to you boy! You'd better answer.

[Mr Dio]

You speaking about beating everyone else, fags & Cherry St certainly make you the most respectable person on this board. In your own mind.

[Chris]

I am thrilled to find out that I am moving back to SA in the near future!!!! There are a number of things that I miss about spurs country that most take for granted. What do you miss most about SA?

Chris Madrids
Los Barrios
Mexican Manhattan
Stop n' Go (even though they're gone now : :depressed )
Rudy's BBQ
Crackerbox (don't know if this is still around)
North Star Mall
The Riverwalk
Taco Cabana
Bill Miller

[Marcus Bryant]

Now that was hilarious and creative.

[Marcus Bryant]

You speaking about beating everyone else, fags & Cherry St certainly make you the most respectable person on this board. In your own mind.

Damn, your second try wasn't that much better.

[Mr Dio]

Keep trying girl, I still own you.

[Marcus Bryant]

The only thing you own is a low IQ and a severe lack of a sense of humor.

[Mr Dio]

Keep trying, almost there.

[Marcus Bryant]

...and the bed you sleep on in yo' mama's house.

[Mr Dio]

Well Mucus, it nice toying with your mind again but don't blow a gasket & take it too personally. Gotta go man.

[Friscospur]

I just thought of one other....LA TUNA...................!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TOP-CHERRY]

What about First Friday?

[TheWriter]

What about First Friday?

I can't wait until Southtown starts Second Saturday.

-I go to the championhsip celebrations anyway
-Riverwalk is definitely a plus I can't counter
-There's an H-E-B here also

-Ditto for Rudy's BBQ
-Ditto

Being able to see just abotu every Spurs game is a definite big plus, not to mention having the option of going to the games. I also enjoy the Riverwalk, oh and the fact that you have more than one decent mall.

[Friscospur]

???????????? what's is on or what is great about Cherry Street? Did I miss something during my last stay....?

[TOP-CHERRY]

What a bad street name.

[BigDaddyMatty]

You know what. San Antonio Mexican food isn't all that. I really believe that Mexican food in Denver off of Federal is the best. Its actually Mexican food. Not Tex Mex. I am not knocking SA. I love this city and will never move as long as I can help it, but the Mex. food in Denver is way better.
La Fiesta in downtown denver is the best mex rest in that city

[Mr.Vas Deferns]

Even though I am LAKER FAN, Can I vote on this one? I may Love my Lakers but I do love this town. Can I or should I expect a lashing of sorts?

[ShoogarBear]

Can I or should I expect a lashing of sorts?

Absolutely.

But if you can take as well as give, you'll do fine.

[SenorSpur]

Even though I am LAKER FAN, Can I vote on this one? I may Love my Lakers but I do love this town. Can I or should I expect a lashing of sorts?

Consider yourself lashed!
