This city of San Antonio is either the seventh or eighth largest city in the United States. The interesting thing is that no one knows. As a city, it is overlooked. Only one professional franchise lives here, the San Antonio Spurs, which is a basketball team. There is no football team or baseball team even though much smaller cities brag about their teams.
In addition, the Spurs are a wonderful team, even though the NBA ignores them. The team hires decent solid citizens as players and coaches and the players work hard every game, not just in the playoffs. The stars do not preen. They work hard. No prima donnas here in San Antonio. The league itself does not really like the team but I don't know why. It is interesting to observe.
Tonight Ken and I drove back to the lake after the day with the family. If you had not driven the road every year but just seen it 17 years ago and then again today, you certainly would not have recognized the way. The lights and the businesses and the traffic are so much more today. Stores and restaurants all along highway 46. This city has really grown but the people of San Antonio are perfectly happy to have everyone else ignore them and just leave them alone to enjoy their fair city. And I like it too.
