Why do they always show the Alamo?

[ClingingMars]

I mean, I love the history behind it, but can't they change it up or something? Show us the riverwalk?

-Mars

[SA210]

They show the riverwalk, sometimes.

[Don Quixote]

I'm with them showing the Silver Dancers dressing room.

[NASpurs]

They always show the Alamo and the Riverwalk as well as that buliding that lights up (forgot the name).

-NASpurs

[midgetonadonkey]

What else are they going to show? A Southside taco house?

[itzsoweezee]

no one outside of san antonio (and maybe texas generally) knows the riverwalk even exists.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Sometimes they show the Alamodome..... which is embarrasing.

I've never visited SA ;) But I do have friends who live down there...

Mmmmm. Tacos. I miss em.

There are not many taco joints in New Orleans, not good ones anyway, and certainly nothing in the East. There are a few in Kenner, though, but that's the other side of town.

I hope they WOULD show a taco place. :hungry:

[NASpurs]

Besides there's really isn't anything in San Antonio. They should show some malls or something

There are still things in New Orleans?

[Don Quixote]

There's lots of ... things!

Tourists, and drive-thru daiquiri places. And Mexican contractors. And much of the city, other than Lakeview (good neighborhood) and the Lower 9th (don't go there). And anything east of the Industrial Canal (the East) is pretty much closed, although the houses are coming back.

But New Orleans was weak for Mexican places even before the storm. All the taco places are on wheels (to feed the Mexican workers). And a few places in Kenner, Metairie, and the West Bank.

Mmmm ... tacos.

[ChumpDumper]

They should show the new Gap store.

[Darkwaters]

no one outside of san antonio (and maybe texas generally) knows the riverwalk even exists.

umm....no. The riverwalk is known around the country. Hell, when I lived in France and Germany they would ask me about the riverwalk in San Antonio when I told them thats where I was from.

-NASpurs

yeah, they should show Ingram Mall.....and a Taco Cabana

[ObiwanGinobili]

The boots at north star?

-Obi

[DudleyDawson]

What the hell are you guys talking about? They show the same 2 or 3 unique things from every city.

[boutons_]

Jazz now +1 on RB

[Mr. Body]

They need to show the Empire State Building.

[Dex]

They could show the Giant Boot.

[leemajors]

they could always show shamu.

-majors

UTSA, splashtown!, Quarry cement factory smoke stacks, Mission San Jose,but the camera crew would have to run around a lot to get some fresh vids.

[noles1983]

they always show mariachi's too :rolleyes

[hendrix]

What is it with the signatures?

-drix

[Buddy Holly]

It has to suck for Phoenix, they just so some random office building or some palm trees in a park. Seriously.

I love how TNT still has the shot of 281 and the downtown skyline in the background and always, always the car pulled over in the shoulder lane with its emergency lights on.

I always think, "They still haven't towed that bitch?" lol

They need to update their stock footage.

[ClingingMars]

What is it with the signatures?

-drix

Guess I spawned a trend. dashmars is just a habit I've picked up from the various forums I've been a part of over the years.

-Mars

[Shelly]

I think they recycle Alamo pictures

-Shelly

[Jelly]

They should show the Alamo. Do you know most people I meet here on the East Coast don't even know that the Alamo is in San Antonio?

[noles1983]

[ClingingMars]

I live on the East Coast, and I know the general story behind the Alamo. Truly sad that most people you meet don't.

-Mars

[sa_butta]

What else are they going to show? A Southside taco house?Some hookers on Cherry st. maybe.

probably for the same reason they always show Eva.

[broke_mexican]

they should show video clips of millitary drive on sunday nights before police had basically shut it down

[Brutalis]

The Alamo looks as ghetto as the riverwalk.

People have heard about the Alamo, and they know it's somewhere in Texas, but that's about it.

[leemajors]

[leemajors]
