A recent article in the San Antonio Express News indicated that some San Antonio neighborhoods have become or are becoming hot markets.  Those neighborhoods are located in the area of Fort Sam Houston and not too far from downtown.  Here are some statistics for one of those neighborhoods - Dignowity.  Other neighborhoods will be featured in future posts.

One of my clients recently moved to San Antonio from another state and in passing expressed an interest in doing volunteer work in her new home town.  This got me thinking about all the many volunteer opportunities available in our city.  One organization that came to mind is the San Antonio Conservation Society which "encourages the preservation of historic buildings, objects, places and customs related to the history of Texas, it's natural beauty and all that is admirably distinctive to our State; and by such physical and cultural preservation to keep the history of Texas legible and intact to educate the public, especially the youth of today and tomorrow with knowledge of our inherited regional values."  If anyone is interested in history, architecture, and conservation, the society ...

How would you like to look out your windows and see beautiful butterflies fluttering by?  It is an amazing fact that there are 290 different species of butterflies that either travel through or reside in Bexar County.  This diversity is enhanced by the three geological regions that entwine through the rocky Hill Country, the clay-infused central city, and the sandy soils in the south. Such diversity is important to butterfly eggs, because not every species uses the same plants to lay eggs and survive through the early stages before becoming a "butterfly." Butterflies don't lay eggs on the flowers they sip nectar from as adults but on the tender green shoots of our less common and less cultivated plants.  They utilize these plants for the early stages of butterfly development: eggs, cate...

  My daughter was getting married and her fiance's family came in from all different parts of the country to  celebrate the special event.  Most of them stayed at hotels along the beautiful San Antonio River Walk.  I spent a lot of time on the River Walk getting to know Randy's family during that week.  What a wonderful reason to spend time enjoying one of the most popular and one of my favorite features of our city. It was Friday night, Don (my husband) was at work so I went down alone to have dinner and visit with Randy's family.  They took care of all the details, decided on the restaurant, made the reservations and called me around noon to tell me what time to be at the restaurant and where it was.  As it turned out, I had never been to this restaurant - I had heard of it by name bu...

The term "Wildscape" is a new term for me.  I love the idea of seeing beautiful butterflies and birds in my back yard here in San Antonio.  The most common butterfly we now see is the Monarch butterfly and the most common bird is the cardinal.  A Wildscape would invite more types of colorful butterflies and birds and that is always a good thing. Here are some of the elements needed for a beautiful Wildscape:Food - Plants that provide a variety of seeds, buds, fruit, nectar and pollen. In the winter be sure to include plants with berries.  Water - You will save  water from reduced irrigation needs.  Now you can have a bird bath, shallow-wide brimmed dish or pond. Place water away from thick brush so birds can't be attacked by any neighborhood cats. Cover - Wildlife needs shelter. Densely...

To help maintain the value of your home and avoid costly repairs, it is important to take care of your home's foundation.  Keep the soil around and under your house at a uniform and constant moisture level as much as possible, avoiding wet and dry extremes.  A gentle slope away from the house should be maintained to prevent water from ponding at the foundation.  Use a sprinkler system or, especially during periods of extremely dry weather, soaker hoses to water the foundation.  Remember however, that soil which is too wet can be just as damaging as soil that is too dry, so monitor your water usage to prevent over saturation.  Make sure that down spouts drain out past the edges of planting beds. Alternating periods of hot, dry weather and cool, wet weather cause the soil to expand and co...

Where was the first municipal golf course in Texas built?  If you guessed San Antonio you are absolutely right.  The world famous and accomplished golf course architect A. W. Tillinghast designed and built Brackenridge Park Golf Course in 1915.  Brackenridge Park was one of his earliest works.  In 1922, John Bredemus, a famous San Antonio Olympian, co-founded the Texas Open which was held at Brackenridge until 1959.  The list of Texas Open winners is a who's who of the most famous golfers of all time, including Hagen, Sarazen, Hogan, Nelson and Snead. After many years, the Brack fell into a state of disrepair.  The Municipal Golf Association San Antonio (MGASA) was formed in early 2007 with the purpose of operating and managing the city's seven golf facilities.  The non-profit corporati...
