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!
See more San Antonio photos at my main website.
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.
