"'Every trip downtown is my first trip downtown.' This is the sense my husband, a native San Antonian, experiences when we venture into the heart of the Alamo City. There's a certain mystique about downtown, as with city centers across the country, that dazzles him a little, a mystique laced with a bit of urban adventure that suburbanites find exhilarating and nerve-wracking. But for regular downtown denizens who spend quality time at the core, the mystique fades to fascination and ultimately to a delightful sense of belonging that leads them to choose this place to spend a significant portion of their lives."
