Josephine St., a staple of San Antonio’s dining and culture scene is toasting to a handsome 45 years in business with a week of juicy deals. Patrons can sink their teeth into a 16 oz T-Bone steak complemented by a Texas Whiskey Flight, all for a mere $45 between April 1 and April 7. The historic eatery is coupling their anniversary celebration with Fiesta participation, slinging exclusive Josephine St. Fiesta Medals at $10 a pop. These tidbits of local revelry, as reported by FOX San Antonio, promise to spice up the festivities in true Texan style.
Adding to their celebratory playbook, the beloved Josephine St. is marking another year of their time-honored tradition ferrying Spurs fans to and from games. Loyal customers may chow down before getting a lift to the game about 45 minutes before tip-off, basking in the charm of hassle-free transportation. Once the final buzzer goes a restaurant-driven bus will begin, ready to collect fans 20 minutes after the buzzer. Mary Jane Nalley, co-owner of Josephine St., reminisced about the inception of the Spurs Bus with My San Antonio, sharing that the idea came from the excitement of supporting the city's NBA team back in 1979, "He thought it was a way to get people to the game, hassle-free. It’s worked ever since."
The harmony between Josephine St. and the Spurs has deep roots. San Antonio's NBA team will soon be celebrating its 50th anniversary, while Josephine Street's Spurs Bus is cruising into its impressive 43rd season. Savings fans the headache of parking woes and traffic jams, the service has become a rite of passage for many a basketball enthusiast in the area.
Speaking to the heart of the experience, James Lee, the bus driver for two decades, shared his love for the job with My San Antonio, "I love this job because I get to meet different people." Lee has ended up making close friends from among the many Spurs supporters he meets, from out-of-towners to regulars. His dedication to the role is a moving part of Josephine St.'s service to the community, showing that even a simple bus ride can tighten the bonds of camaraderie in the sprawling Texas metropolis.
