There should have been a section (640 acres) declared for the Alamo site and Texans should be totally ashamed that THEY did not reconcile this issue! Instead, the city of San Antonio has built concrete and plaster damn nigh onto the doorstep of what should have been declared as 'hallowed ground'! I feel fully justified in thinking that there was also in play over the years an ethnic portion of the San Antonio population that did all they could do to desecrate the memory of those Americans that died at The Siege of the Alamo!!
I was stunned when I saw the Alamo in the center of San Antonio. I was expecting to see it as you described with acreage and open space.
Sky scrapers on 3 sides, buries the Alamo in a pretty sanitized setting, far from what you would expect…
