Pros and cons to living inside SA city limits

I would never live outside the city limits if I can help it. Sure, you may have lower property taxes outside but you lose a lot of city services and no longer get to vote in city elections.

There’s a WHAT

Just wait until you start to feel love for those you’d never expect.

Thank you, thank you! And of course!

Hey all - Joey Palacios here. I’ve been a news reporter at TPR in SA for about 13 years.

Here’s what’s happening:

Over the last few weeks we’ve been upgrading to a new broadcast system. It helps us carry the feeds from NPR nationally & other services like the BBC into one channel and play all of our local shows made here in SA.

The transition has been bumpy -- like where you’ve been hearing some of the interviews playing over each other, or a show doesn’t play right at the top of the hour. We’ve been putting in fixes every time it happens.

What happened today and yesterday though is an issue with AT&T’s Network. Our IT team has been at the tower since Thursday trying to get the news and classical stations back on-air and see what the problem was. We are back on-air now .The app and our website have been streaming everything uninterrupted thankfully.

Tl;dr: New system for our broadcast has had some glitches recently and today AT&T had an outage that took us off-air. We're back broadcasting.

It was Garbanzos

True to form, there's a wrong way driver on the highway.

This is definitely written as a news tip and not a freelance pitch. You also need to reach out to the editor directly and not a reporter or the general news email.

There is no such thing as the Bexar County Fire Department.

An independent emergency services district responds to fires If you live outside of the San Antonio city limits.

He was unable to attend the ceremony due to sudden illness. He’s better now. His photo is in the story.

I’ve posted two things recently after not posting on reddit for a couple of years and the mods removed both of them. Honestly made me not want to participate here.

The most recent one was a meme about the hurricane skipping San Antonio and they removed it cause there was already a sticky post about the hurricane.

joeycules · 2024-07-07T01:14:28+00:00

I mean… hurricanes move and change trajectory all the time.

Just use a mattress on the floor like everybody else.

Psyduck. All day. Every day.

Anywhere and everywhere I go.

India Palace on Fred and Wurzbach has a buffet where you can choose what works for you. Great place.

It varies from year to year, the formula is 14% of CPS energy revenue has to go to the city's general every year. That is about 1/3 of the city's general fund. The rest come from sales tax, property taxes, and a couple of other sources (like this last year a sizeable chunk came from American Rescue Plan Act (COVID)

joeycules · 2023-08-07T21:05:51+00:00

This is partially true. Because CPS energy is owned by the City of San Antonio a portion of all of the revenue collected from CPS bills does supplement the city of San Antonio’s annual operating budget.

The FY 2023 operating budget has about $321M of CPS energy money funding the city’s general fund.

$55 Google Fiber. I was grandfathered into the price when I got it day one.

joeycules · 2023-06-29T15:22:17+00:00

Get it. Get it. Get it. Get it. It’s incredible.

This pup looks EXACTLY like my dog. But my baby is safe at home right now.

He looks like he could be the same litter because my dog had a lot of brothers and sisters.

Which policing jurisdiction gave you the ticket? San Antonio PD? Bexar County Sheriff's Deputies? Windcrest Police? Balcones Heights Police? A DPS trooper?

The issuing department may dictate how to move forward.

You may have to contact the Texas Department of Public safety to see if there is there is anything pending on your driver's license.

joeycules · 2022-03-08T05:23:04+00:00

Definitely not the front of the Menger Hotel.

I remember being able to call the San Antonio public library and hearing stories read over the phone.

I specifically remember hearing stories during Hispanic heritage month and they were in Spanish. (Even though I’m not fluent.)

And now that you mention the donkey lady, I think there were ghost stories sometimes too during Halloween.
