I recently acquired a few 1950s slides featuring San Antonio, Texas. This first one shows the Alamo Cenotaph Monument. Naturally, a detailed view is in order:
A contemporary shot from my one visit there in 2016. I'm not really a fan of the state of Texas, but I sure did have a good time here and wouldn't mind venturing back one day.
The legendary Alamo Mission, which apparently DOES have a basement.
Either way, your bike ain’t there, Mister!
Still looks about the same. If only I aged as well as this 18th century building has!
A vintage shot of the wall in front of the Alamo mission with the Emily Morgan hotel in the background:
Ol’ Emily is still alive and kickin’!
Last vintage shot for today is the San Jose Mission, which I made sure to see as it was one of the key locations used in the movie “Still Breathing.”
A shot of actress Joanna Going at the San Jose Mission for “Still Breathing,” 1997. Yes, it’s a somewhat sappy movie, but I don’t care. Still love it.
How the wall looked in 2016:
Hope you enjoyed a little Daveland before and after!

I've lived in San Antonio for 28 years now. Very far from my childhood in Whittier, CA. So I see two of my homes on your website, Disneyland and San Antonio. These are some beautiful photos, Thank You.
