San Antonio
And here we go! Let’s head west on Culebra Road while I tell you some fun facts about San Antonio!

While military service is what originally brings many San Antonio residents to Bexar County, the area has enticed enough of them to stay long after their enlistment is up. San Antonio is attractive enough, in fact, to make it the United States’ seventh most populous city! After being founded as a mission and colonial outpost of the Spanish Empire in 1718, San Antonio was also part of the Mexican Republic, as well as the Republic of Texas, before it eventually became part of the United States after the Mexican-American War ended in 1848.

Rich with a deep history that predates the State of Texas, San Antonio has been one of the fastest growing cities in America over the past 30 years, and is today a vibrant hub of culture. In the mood for some history? Go check out one of the five 18th-century Spanish frontier missions, including The Alamo itself, in San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.

Is your mood more in-step with some leisure or sightseeing? Walk the River Walk, or climb the Tower of the Americas. Maybe you’re more of a sports person (this is Texas after all), you can go see the five-time NBA champion Spurs in action at the AT&T Center... as long as it’s not February, when the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo show is hosted by the stadium, and attracts 2 million visitors every year (this is Texas, after all).

Schools
If you were to turn right on Cliffbrier and left on Timber Path, but you don’t have to, you would come across HB Zachry Middle School (Go Wolverines) and Lloyd M. Knowlton Elementary School. Go Knight! Keep heading West.
