The 7th annual Pothole Blitz kicked off at San Pedro Park. The goal is to repair more than 8,000 potholes before the month of April is over.

Photos from the University of Texas at San Antonio Special Digital Collection show what San Pedro Springs Park looked like as far back as the 1870s.

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio is -- in our opinion -- the best city in the state. The area was an early settlement dating back to 1729 when the Canary Islanders settled in San Antonio. Church’s Chicken first opened in San Antonio and the first location used to be across the street from the Alamo. Pope John Paul II visited San Antonio in 1987 and held a mass where more than 350,000 people showed up. President Lyndon B. Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson got married at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in downtown San Antonio.
