    Beautiful video. I have actual pictures of my grandparents, Jake and tiny tiner real name. I swear.. probably in the mid 30s or early '40s on the river walk. Grandma wrote on the back of all pictures. My grandfather was on the board of directors of the SA planning board as well as Saha

    In 1992 I visited San Antonio with its romantic candle lights all over the place at the Riverwalk - a place you would really ask your girlfriend to marry. Now it obviously has `progressed` into Disneyland with flashlights all over. What a shame, San Antonio Conservation Society.

      You are right. And it was not built by this man as the fak3 history promote. It was there prior to 18 century. It's tartarian construction. ( Tartarian civilization).

      @meggtokyodelicious It went from a glorified drainage ditch into the beautiful attraction it is today because of Texans in the 20th Century.
