Oh, hi there.
So you’ve recently moved to San Antonio. Or maybe you’re a traveler, just visiting and looking and exploring. Or maybe, even though you’ve lived here for a while, you still felt it necessary to pick up something called a “City Guide.”
This is what we here at the Current offer up as our crash course lesson on San Antonio. Because, in case you haven’t noticed, this place is changing — and fast. Which means, even if you’ve been here for a minute, there’s a lot to catch up on.
So if you’re new: Welcome, we’re here to help. And if you’re a frequent visitor or longtime local, we’d urge you to find something new and reach outside your comfort zone — whether it be food, cocktails, parks and bike trails or one of the city’s best karaoke nights.
And if, after flipping through the information here, you think, “Ugh, they missed something,” you know what? You’re probably right. That’s why we’re toiling away over every day to bring you the best, newest, weirdest, most interesting and important stuff we find every day/week/month.
So to the newbies, take this issue as a sign we’re confident you’ll love it here. If you’ve been around, nice to see you again — oh, and here’s what we’re really into right now. — Michael Barajas, Editor-in-Chief
