Where

Alamo Plaza or Hemisphere Plaza

My idea to improve this place

Visiting Denver in December, we stayed on 16th St Mall. It was amazing how easily you could move up and down the street to shop and Southwest Airlines sponsored an Ice Skating Rink. It was awesome!

So that people could... 

People of all ages, tourist and residence, could come together and ice skate! Much like NYC. We never get snow, so an out door ice skating rink would be a great winter, spring or fall event. Could be integrated with Luminaria, Fiesta, etc. or all year!

Because I want San Antonio to be...

Not only where tourist and few locals go to visit and party, but where my family and friends families, even those in far North San Antonio, can meet and enjoy.

Alamo Plaza or Hemisphere Plaza, 0 Kms

Connect to Mrkt Sq=Houston St as pedestrian-only market with shops and cart vendors. Alamo Plaza pedestrian-only b/w Commerce and Houston. More paseos/programmed alleys. Improve cxns to riverwalk.

The Street Level. An afterthought to the Riverwalk, needs same attention for a successful dntwn. Nice historic bldgs and storefronts, inadequate landscape, activities, shade...., 0.02 Kms

Get rid of the tacky souvenir shops in Alamo Plaza. They do a disservice to the Alamo and our Texan heritage. Replace them with LOCAL restaurants and cafes with ourdoor seating.

Return the area around and in front of the Alamo chapel to it's 1836 size. Get rid of the sleaze across Alamo street and make the whole area a historical park we can be proud of.

Alamo Plaza, 0.03 Kms

Relocate or evict Ripleys, Tomb Raider and all the other tourist traps across from the Alamo. You wouldn't let someone set up a circus act on the Vietnam Memorial, so no reason to decimate our shrine.
