Or, some call it the Alamo. <BR/><BR/>Santa Anna left the road map planning guide behind after his dastardly deed. He signed it, "Remember the Alamo".

I asked a lifetime SA-er when I moved here, "How did the City arrive at a street map as web-like as this?" His response: "Many, many years ago the City hired Juan and Carlos to map out the future of the City. Over a bottle of Tequila they went, 'Hey, man! Let's write our initials and connect them with lines. Yeah, that'd be cool!' and alas, we have our road system." <BR/><BR/>It was very helpful for me, as it was the closest thing to making sense out of mayhem I had heard. <BR/><BR/>I'm still not sure what direction roads are ultimately supposed to be considered. Does Huebner run E-W? But sometimes it jogs due North for a while....Wurzbach? Who knows.<BR/><BR/>Have fun in the city, guys.Mike Sharrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09390371076084475045noreply@blogger.com
