Homeless Bill: Make sure you're not drunk when you yell "Remember the Alamo!", or you'll get a citation for disturbing the peace.
Lilith Eden: Tours are great, fun, informative, and calming, but no pictures please! ;)
Xim Tog: Great for the city history background. You may spend 2 hrs top in a calmed and easy tour on your own. Entrance is free. Audio tours for 10 usd, I think.
Jen Martinez: Take the river path south on nueva through King William and down to blue star art complex for a beautiful walk or bike ride along a peaceful part of the river... Plenty secluded spots to read/write
Bill Fox: Riverwalk was a perfect place to jog, early Sunday morning and the homes are breath taking. Its a great place to walk our dog. People are wonderful, dog friendly & courteous in this neighborhood.
Joel Valdez: Zoned as the state's first historic district, in the late 1800's this 25-block area near downtown was settled by prominent German merchants and was the most elegant residential area in the city.
