This year was a whirlwind for San Antonio.
San Antonio Current readers kept an eye on a number of breaking stories, including developments related to a possible new Spurs arena, mass exits on the news desk at KSAT-TV, shakeups at USAA and rumors of a so-called “Rainey Street Ripper.”
San Antonio also had its fair share of crime news that gripped the city, including the Fiesta Market Square shooting and the developing story on Suzanne Simpson.
Then there was the highly-contentious Krampus Parade. And naturally, Buccee’s and Garth Brooks had to make the list, or this wouldn’t be San Antonio.
