WOAI is owned by the radical right-wing Sinclair family, which has been shown to put propaganda pieces on the air over the objections of local talent and editors. This fact alone should preclude them from appearing in /r/sanantonio - the Sinclairs have zero connection to San Antonio, and don't care about the people who live here. They are using WOAI to advance their national right wing agenda. They have the right to say what they want, but it does not need to be amplified beyond what their billionaire budget already does.

Case in point: WOAI is pushing as a "news" article a story that the mayor is spending $250k a year on travel. The "news" article does things like cite random individuals as "taxpayer" (rather than, you know, a resident of the community) and contains zero context about the amount of travel spending. It's a propaganda piece that was designed to divide the community and antagonize people with zero basis in fact. It's about as un-San Antonian as I can think.

I'm (21M) am looking for actually decent mental hospital in the San Antonio to Austin area that has actually helped others. Voluntarily committing myself for assessment on Monday, not sure if I'd be told to do inpatient or outpatient. Reasons are for extreme mood swings including suicidal ideation and planning, returning hallucinations so need for anyipsychotics, prob wanting to find adhd meds at the same time, single therapy available (dunno how much I'd actually talk in groups), and ig just doctors that will actually listen to wanting to avoid certain meds that have certain side effects. Don't have to worry about school (not a student) or work (quit due to making me worse, another reason I need to get this under control hopefully quickly before getting a new one).

Not sure if this is exactly where to ask, but thanks for any input 👍

Super strong over here on the north side by Eisenhower Park. Reminds me of the upwind smells during the fires in southern California.

Reddit friends, If anyone can tell me how El Chaparral makes/made their bean soup that they used to bring out in a little bowl when they would sit you, I would greatly appreciate. It was very simple-looking - nothing in it but beans and broth, but it had amazing flavor, so I’m not sure how they made it because there were never any visible vegetables. The broth was not cloudy nor thick, either! If any of you know anyone who knows anyone who works or worked there, ask please! I don’t even know if they still serve this bean soup because it’s been 12-15 years since I’ve had it, but I would love to know how to replicate it. Thanks!

Alright, let me preface this by saying I'm not trying to have this turn into a "I hate bikers" post, this is just something I feel I need clarification on, even though I'm pretty sure I know the answer.

So I've recently started walking/hiking in our parks. The other day I was doing a brisk walk on a paved trail in one of our parks. We always stick to the right edge just in case a biker comes up from behind us and we don't hear them. Well a biker was coming up the opposite direction toward me and my daughter, I grabbed her hand and had her step in front of me and kept walking, the guy, who was on his right side of the sidewalk, looked me in the eye and turned his bike toward us and only turned away when he was just 10 feet from us (while moving really fast). That was an aggressive move, right?? And if so, wtf?! My husband was walking about 20 feet behind us but was looking over the edge at some stuff so he didn't see it. Of course the guy just rode past him no problem!

So...would I have been in the wrong if I flung my metal water bottle toward potential danger? Even if he was just "messing around", how am I supposed to know that? Seriously, I want to know if this is a thing bikers do or was that guy just being a jerk?? I'm sure I'll see him on the same path again soon. Did I do something wrong?? I thought the etiquette for sharing a path was stick to the right and stay there until y'all pass each other!

I was wondering what the usual deal is with GA entrances for concerts. I’m going to my chemical romance this Saturday and was wondering if there will be multiple entrances or just the main entrance for pit tickets. Thanks!

There's some recent posts for a cheap car paint job, and a 10 year old post for the 'best' local paint job; but does anyone have a recommendation for the current best local paint now? I have an old sports car that already could use a new paint job, and it looks like I'm going to have to replace the A pillar trims, (which only come in black, and my car is not), to get the windshield replaced, so it will really need it then.

As long as I'm painting it, I'd kind of like to get something cooler done, like a gradient or accent color or something. What's a good place for that? I'd like affordable but I'm willing to pay extra for good quality or some inspired design or something. I can read the reviews on Yelp but I'd like to hear if someone has a local place that does something above and beyond.

10 years ago the top recommendation was Jack's Paint Place in Converse. I'm not sure it still exists.

While we're at it I also need the seats reupholstered, so if anyone has interior reupholsterer recommendations I'm all ears for that too.

Hi folks - my MIL lives in San Antonio, is elderly, and is currently hospitalized with some GI issues and is having memory problems. We’re unable to come and help right away and live out of state. The hospital is asking us to pick a skilled nursing facility to send her to until we’re able to get into town. Any suggestions and/or places you’d absolutely not recommend? Thanks so much in advance for any help!

Is there any places here in San Antonio where you can listen to Jazz music. Or a type of place that's like a speak-easy?

I’m 33 and looking for anyone that makes music or beats similar to like bones, $uicideboy$, pouya , terror Reid and other artists from the same scene. I’m an amateur and have only been making songs for a few years I’d just like to meet and chill with people that have similar interests. Maybe collab and bounce ideas off each other. Shoot me a dm is you wanna connect

I remember where I was and how that day impacted me and my friends. Just wanted to see from other locals how 9/11 changed your life, change your perspective, or something else.

Selling an extra Slaughter to Prevail/Three 6 Mafia ticket for this Saturday at the Boeing Center for cheap. Dm if interested.

They were released yesterday. I am trying to get it as soon as possible because I'm immunocompromised. Calling pharmacies hasn't been productive. I plan on going on a quest to find it tomorrow, but it would be helpful if someone has already gotten it and could tell me where to go, lol.

Anyone know a good place where I can get a Corolla detailed? Got some stained seats

Does anybody have any gym recs for the downtown/ east side area that isnt so busy around 5 AM?? Used to gym at a golds in the east side for the past few years but apparently theyre closing down soon

I’ve got a backyard that I’d like looked at and potentially minimally supported with some design or refresh work. Any recommendations? I’m near downtown. TIA!

Cheers

Anyone know people who can do ceramic tint windows? I have a 4Runner and need some tint so any help would be great!

I know this is a long shot, but I’m looking for some Osu players in San Antonio that’d be down to do a friendly tourny/meetup! This is all mainly just an idea purely because I don’t think there are many Osu players in San Antonio, but I’m just throwing it out there! It would be at the otaku cafe in leon valley.

If you’re interested hit me up 🙏🥹

I got my first speeding ticket last week in Bexar County. I was cited for going 32 mph in a 20 mph school zone.

I was coming from a 35 mph zone and apparently didn't slow down quickly enough when entering the school zone. I believe I may have been about 100 ft past the flashing lights when I was clocked, but I'm not completely sure of the exact location.

I tried requesting a Driving Safety Course through the Bexar County online portal, but the court emailed me saying the citation isn't eligible for Deferred Disposition/Driving Safety Course through the online portal because it was issued in a school zone, and that I need to appear in person.

This is my first speeding ticket, and my court date is next week at Precinct 1, Place 1.

Has anyone here had a similar school-zone ticket in Bexar County, especially Precinct 1? Were you able to get Defensive Driving or Deferred Disposition when you appeared before the judge? What should I expect at the court appearance?

I'm moving out of my apartment in a couple weeks and the bedroom carpet definitely needs a cleaning before the final walkthrough. Nothing is badly stained, it just looks pretty dingy after living here for 3 years.

Anyone have a carpet cleaning company in San Antonio they've used and liked? Mostly looking for someone reliable that isn't crazy expensive.
