San Antonio's way cooler than Houston. We're getting a new shopping mall with TIFFANY'S, TOMMY BAHAMA, BURBERRY, etc. and on and on. Now that's uptown! Lots of older areas close to downtown and a short distance to the airport that have been newly gentrified, plus you have the whole Riverwalk thing, Fiesta season and lotsa cool close-by little old German-influenced villages.

San Antonio did a good thing and renovated its downtown by embracing the Hispanic culture beginning about 20 years ago along with many other immigrant cultures that played strong in its heritage.
