Alamo is underrated. One has to go there trying to remember what took place there and what it must have been like.

Too many people grumble about it being in the middle of downtown.

It's a great piece of U.S. history and deserves respect.

Underrated? It's worth going to once, just for the sake of it, but it's pretty

If you like history tour the old churches/monistares(sp) in the area. Really cool.

Pizza is really good but it's a destination dining type place so there is always a line. Surprisingly good pizza though.

I wouldn't have thought of going to HEB either.

Some of the super HEB have good tacos and great aguas frescas (melon, watermelon, mango, etc)

Interesting. I don't typically go to a super HEB, but I'll have to keep an eye
