This weekend, the NCAA Final Four Basketball Tournament is being held here in San Antonio. The hotels are already filling up, as well as the parking lots. For those of us working in downtown SA, this means clients can have trouble parking -- as well as jurors (and no trial lawyer wants an upset juror!)....
The national news coverage has begun, as well -- and until the games begin, journalists are finding other things to write about. Here are a couple -- both have found the RiverWalk to be boring after the first couple of nights, and have ventured out into the city proper.
One writer (for MSNBC) discovered the great golf deals here in town, including our famous La Cantera. Another (writing for the Kansas City Star) has been mosing around the King William Area (Germans live here too!) as well as local museums....
Some suggestions for these guys?
Try Gruene, for Texas Oldest Dance Hall. Play horseshoes outside, drink longnecks with real cowboys, read the autographs of all the famous folk on their framed photos that cover the walls of the bar .... Music begins every night at 7. The general store is pretty cool, too, as well as the wine tastings and antique stores .... By the way, Gary P. Nunn is the headliner this Saturday night.
How about visiting the Dixie Dude Ranch in Bandera? Ride a horse through the rolling Texas Hills, check out a real working ranch for the day, have an excuse to buy cowboy boots or a nice cowboy hat, and practice walking like John Wayne.
Just a couple, off the top of my head.
