You feel that Canada needs more parking lots?

Or more architects who make their building models out of Lego bricks.

Wait... there's a difference between Canada and the United States?

No. It's just a big scam we Yanks have been running so we can feel safe travelling around Europe with our "Canadian flag" patches on...

I knew it.

I saw the Alamo which started as a Spanish Mission and while it was historically significant (and thus well worth visiting) it was kind of plain.

Why, did something important happen at the Alamo?

A bunch of Texan slaveowners got their comeuppance.

I too am a little curious as to what's special about that picture, or San Antonio as a whole. I've heard it's a decent city, but nothing amazing.

Having been there I will say I quite enjoyed the River Walk and the Alamo but nothing struck me as outstandingly excellent that would vault this place over other cities. In fact I really like Calgary and region. I know its cold here but for an aspiring skier thats a plus

My San Antonio is generally NOT regarded as the 'coolest' around here, Austin usually get that title, but its a great place for families, and pays decent commercial rents while being partly immune from economic downturns.

Yep, Austin. Your reeking swamp full of cockroaches Houston gets repution for business, smoke filled rooms, industry, oil magnates, sports, and some music (but stangely not for zydeco, which was invented and eveloped there, rather than Lousisana) but Austin get the rep for music, youth fun, high tech, lifestyle, and cool.

You forgot to mention that Austin is the only Texas city that is on the "America's Fittest Cites" list, while Texas has 5 cities on the "Fattest "list,

ACK!
