Corner of Hwy 281 & Evans Road
My idea to improve this place
There is a building that formerly housed an Albertsons & a HEB. a big empty shell . My idea is to stage the windows as art pieces lighting them from within. Speakers will play soundtrack.
So that people could...
be drawn together by light & sound; be fascinated; be amazed; have an experience together; laugh; be uplifted. This part of the city is Suburbia with a capital S. There are many strip malls, many drugstores, dry cleaners but not so much to inspire or delight. Even when barbecue trucks park here, people gather. There is a wanting for ways to come together.
Because I want San Antonio to be...
an interesting, inspiring, amazing place ~ an environment where good ideas are encouraged & have a chance to take root & grow. Public art, bicycles around downtown, film festivals ~ these are wonderful beginnings. And now it's time to grow the excitement into the suburbs where dead spaces are waiting to be resurrected.

to have a city wide clothing swap where folks can swap used clothes, toys & books. There could be vintage items, handmade offerings &crafts . What isn't swapped could be donated to Goodwill.

This area looks nice enough-- grass and trees, but it is an unused easement, and it'd look great if they turned it into a little park/playground for the children of the neighborhood.

Unused easement area, corner of Canyon Golf & Silverado Way, 4.47 Kms
The developments are naturally connected by drainages running roughly N-S, but they are blocked by fences at development boundaries. Open these fences to allow foot traffic to pass.
