I got two main pieces of feedback: they actually thought it was a really pretty city. I think they enjoyed the preservation of historical architecture, and they got a kick out of the mercado, and how genuinely "mexican" a fair amount of the city and its culture is. And also...they were fucking wilting from the heat. It was a hot-ass day, and their limey asses just ain't built for it. We warned them about that when they said they wanted to visit in August, but they said "oh no, we love warm weather!"

We’ve only hit 100 a dozen or so days.

Sol Luna gave me one of the greatest dating stories of my life. It involved a 5'9 college volleyball player on her 6th dwi, who didn't have custody of her kids, a case of beer, me being pushed off a chair, a family from Bulgaria and me banging her alcholic ass out of pity

August 18Aug 18 Good to know. I’ve been to Dough a bunch. Was just looking for something convenient and not too far off 35.

If you want better pizza down there you need to go to an actual pizza spot. I imagine among fast food pizza up here it’s also at the top. I’m not saying it’s Dough or Il Forno or Fralos. But is it better than Pizza Hut, Dominos, Cicis, and Little Caesars? Yes.
August 20Aug 20 I know a guy from McAllen, and he too likes Peter Piper. I don't get it, but to each his own.

September 14Sep 14 Looking for a legit Asian food joint on Northwest side of SA. Not fancy just quality food. Sizzling Wok use to be our go to spot off huebner, but it has closed and is becoming a sushi place. Before that pan Asia was our spot across from OP Schnable but it also closed and is now a Fredrick's burger. What is your go to not fancy but solid Asian spot?

It’s not fast food pizza like any of the places you listed. It’s also objectively not as good as those places. It doesn’t deliver. Is it better than Chuckie Cheese? Maybe, no idea, but that’s the comparable place. Which means it’s absolutely ass. 33 minutes ago, CoachTex said: Looking for a legit Asian food joint on Northwest side of SA.

September 20Sep 20 On 8/17/2025 at 7:21 AM, HenryJames said: That’s right. I remember when our oldest friend in our neighborhood turned 16 his parents bought him a Jeep Cherokee and the first Saturday after his birthday he drove the rest of us to The Original Donut Shop. It was a cold and rainy morning, and those fresh donuts and tacos just hit the spot. The Original Donut shop has always been a core memory.
