Kori isn't allowed south of Hildebrand unless she's going to a Spurs game.
Look who's talking!!!
LIES I SAY!!! ITS ALL LIES!!
My fiancee dragged me to the southside about 2 years ago, and I won't live anywhere else ever again.
I love it here.
As a non-hispanic white male, you just have to know where to go and not to go.
I've only been in an "altercation" twice, and came out of both very well.
That's not true. I was allowed to go to GTG's at Alamo DrafthouseKori isn't allowed south of Hildebrand unless she's going to a Spurs game.
Isn't that Southwest??
West.That's not true. I was allowed to go to GTG's at Alamo Drafthouse
As for Obi,
The Southside is a different experience from the north side.
It's a different world, a slower world. A better world? That's up to the person.
I grew up on the southeast side, down the street from Highlands. Just like Midget. This area is actually called Sunny Slope not Highland Hills.
In my parents neighborhood every single lot that was empty as I grew up now has a home on it.
On Fair Ave. just before Clark Ave. there was a large (I mean large) lot that remained empty my entire life, then about 2 years ago, housing was planned for it. There are now 13-15 new (very nice) homes on said piece of land.
I not sure on the exact number of homes, I only see them on passing when I visit my parents. Midget may have a better number.
Also, at the intersection of Clark Ave. and Rigsby Ave. they are building a new apartment complex where once nothing stood.
As for the Southside and Southwest side. I can't speak too much on them as I really don't know those areas from a deep experience POV, but I do know these areas.
My uncle who works for the city and lives close to the Republic of Texas Golf Course on Military Dr. loves it.
Also, the development in that area where my uncle lives is insane for Southside standards.
A new elementary school (Highland Forest) was recently built off of Military Dr. near the golf course as well as a very large subdivision around the school.
It's a very large subdivision with many more subdivisions (per my uncle) planned for that area.
Also, the recent revitalization of the Goliad and Military intersection is just unbelievable.
It went from just a HEB, Hollywood Video, Whataburger, Diamond Shamrock (now Valero), Burger King, and a bunch of abandonded buildings to... well, something pretty damn impressive for Southside standards.
Target, Best Buy, Office Depot, Gold's Gym, Chili's, Home Depot, Conn's, Petco, Kirkland's, WalMart, Sam's Club, a new movie theater, two Starbucks across the street from one another, a new Walgreens where the Burger King used to be, no more abandonded buildings, and much more.
I consider that area part of the southeast side.
As for the Southside, I know much of it via Military Dr. It's an amazing drive with all the retail that you would never see on the north side. Nothing but small, mom and pop type stores, it's a wonderful site.
I recently drove 410 and then drove near the Toyota plant, it was def. something new for me. It was probably the 4th time I had driven in that area (410 on the south side) in my entire life, so I remember it very vaguely.
However, I was surprised (well, not really) at all the new development. A shopping center here, a new subdivision there, apartments over yonder.
Nice.
As for the Southwest side, that I have the least experience with. However, I do know you can get a pretty nice 3 bedroom home for 60,000 dollars on the Southwest side.
And yes, I have pictures coming.

Lock your doors...get some burglar bars...don't make eye contact...you'll be fine...
Right cuz that doesn't happen anywhere else is SA.
Just learn the gang sign for Southside, and anytime you feel threatened, use it and you will be ok. Oh yeah, dress in neutral colors.
SHOUT OUT TO MY SOMERSET PEEPS!
Hey, is Flipside still in business?

New shopping center.
These are my pictures taken back in October of 2005.
My friend who grew up on the southeast side and went to high school with me, moved to the northwest side before me, and a couple of weeks in his new apartment, his ninja was stolen.
I guess Ninja bikes aren't in demand on the southside.
Oh yeah Obi, my recommendation to you is the subdivision on Military Dr. between Highland Forest Elementary (East Central Independent School District) and the Republic of Texas golf course.
I know a few hurricane evacuees moved into the homes because that subdivision was so well recommended.
It's very close to 37 with a quick 1 minute drive on 37 to 410.
What? Your kidding right?
I don't see how posters are making the Southside seem uninhabitable.
look...me and zstomp grew up there. we used to walk down the street at two or three in the a.m. nothing ever happened to us. nothing too extreme anyway. and any crap that did go down just made us stronger, as friends and as people! im not gonna say there is no bad. bad is all over the place. kindda like looter, but honestly, i miss it. its a culture, and those who have lived there can understand what i am talking about. different isnt bad unless you refuse to adapt. its always those idiots that try to swim "up-stream" that are making negative comments about something theyve never been a part of!! i KNOW youll like it!

Exactly. I grew up on the Southeast Side. Went to Highlands. Despite the supposed "crappy" education got a full ride to Trinity. My mom will be 85 years old this year, still lives in the 1200 s.f. house we all grew up in, and in the 45 years she has lived there the only thing that has happened was her purse got stolen 20-plus years ago, when we left the back door unlocked. But it's easier for ignoramuses from the more affluent parts of town to go hatin' on the Southside than to actually find out what goes on there. Now there's finally some new development, thanks to the Brooks City Base project and of course Toyota people needing nice places to live and to shop. About damned time.
If I could find a job in SA that paid halfway decent, we'd move back there in a heartbeat. We live in Collin County now, the most affluent county in the state, and the people here are so much into the "drive a bigger, more expensive SUV than the guy next door" bit that it's not even funny. Talk about arrogant - they make even Northsiders seem reasonable.
The last three posters are giving the Southside/Southeast side some justice...
Thanks guys!
Buddy Holly you are da man!!
Thanks !!
My honey tlong likes to mosey on down to the "southside" on occasion.
With occasion meaning every other night.
The newer southside developments are different from the older southside. It depends on what type of housing you're looking for. There are new subdivisions and apartment complexes going up near 410. But the older southside is basically between 410S and Hwy 90/I10.
I grew up in the Palm Heights area at Nogalitos and Malone/Theo (southcentral). I currently (although temporarily) live near that neighborhood, And although i'm looking at moving downtown who knows I might stick around! But that's an older neighborhood.
The newer southside deveolopments have the opportunity to give that part of the city more of an iden y than the standard northside suburbia. I hope it's planned well. I also hope A&M gets built. It's too bad that Taco Hut isn't around anymore (southeast)
Is that the one that was designed by Alamo Architects? If it is that is still in SAISD. The new developments are in other districts but I don't know which ones. Regardless the new housing will have a higher tax base from which to build new schools.
dude - ther might even be The Shops at Mitc Lake!
Oh yeah, and Palm Heights>Alamo Heights vatos!
Who are you?
I'm not sure which one you're talking about, do you know the name?
Highland Forest is an ECISD (East Central Independent School District) school.
I always thought a Mills Mall somewhere on the far soutside bewteen 410 and 1604 would be perfect.dude - ther might even be The Shops at Mitc Lake!
South San Mills or something.
