Is San Antonio Texas Recession Proof?


Every time I turn on the news I hear we are in a recession. Job options in my area are a joke. I expect the majority of the country is in the same boat. California is probably the worse. However, as I drive through San Antonio, Texas all I see is expansion. Take Loop 1604 for example. Not too long ago, Loop 1604 was the way to get around San Antonio without having to go through the city. Now it's part of the city.

From the Front
Everywhere you look there are new businesses and residential areas going up. SA continues to expand despite what the rest of the county is doing. Even now, it is expanding major intersections on the outside of town to allow more traffic.

While we were in San Antonio we visited the Palladium. It's the IMAX directly across from Six Flags. There are a couple of large scale projects being built right next door. Also, there is a new, um, "village" across the street. The place looks awesome. It's like taking a trip to the Mediterranean. It's called Eilan. This place is the size of a small town. I love it. I wish I could live in it. Eilan is perfectly located and the atmosphere is relaxing. This place is a prime example of the type of upgrades the city is building.


From the back
Eilan has places to live, shops, restaurants, and according to my kids a 5 star hotel. We had a good time walking around the place. I suggest you stop by if you get the chance.
