Progres Dinner Traces San Antonio Downtown History
A 65-person progressive tour through downtown San Antonio for National Historic Preservation Week blends memory and urban change. Guides recount 1914 widening of Commerce Street, the roller move under a landmark building, and WPA river projects as attendees visit La Villita, the river, and the Spanish Governor's Palace, ending with a rooftop toast at the First National Bank and reflections on Alamo Plaza.
