The streets of San Antonio were bustling this past week with an assortment of activities for residents and visitors alike. According to the San Antonio Report, one of the headliners was City Councilman Marc Whyte of District 10, who faced the music before the press regarding his drunken driving charge. As photographers captured the city's ongoing saga, Whyte fielded questions in the council briefing room, all while his colleagues convened in an executive session nearby.
Meanwhile, the city's social scene didn't skip a beat, with San Antonio's citizens being privy to an array of free and cheap events happening between January 7-13. Families could engage in a holistic educational experience at The Witte Museum for as little as $12, or, for a little adrenaline rush, K1 Speed offered indoor go-kart racing starting at $17, as detailed by San Antonio Things To Do. On the lighter side of leisure, the Briscoe Western Art Museum transported visitors back to the land of cowboys and frontier days starting at $10 for two.
For little explorers, the action wasn't just confined to the city limits. They were encouraged to participate in the Little Explorers event at Cibolo Nature Center, enjoying nature through an assortment of senses-stimulating activities for a nominal $5 per family. Back in the heart of the city, the San Antonio Public Works exemplified diligence as they cleaned out sludge and debris from the River Walk in a routine maintenance operation that's often unseen yet vital for the renowned area's allure.
Those looking for some evening entertainment had their plates full with possibilities. The Tobin Center’s "H-E-B Cinema on the Plaza" projected the cult classic 'Labyrinth' free of charge to an audience cozied up with their own blankets and lawn chairs. Art enthusiasts could also indulge their senses with the McNay Art Museum offering free general admission courtesy of H-E-B, further painting the town with cultural opportunities without the price tag.
