We drove through San Antonio yesrterday. I've seen the signs on the highway, and always wondered. Oh, not the one in Texas, the one in Florida! (Betcha didn't know about this one!)
Here's the Cliff Notes version of the history of San Antonio:
Catholic influences are found throughout the town of 1577 folks.
I grabbed a shot of the Garden Club gazebo as we went around the corner of the town square....
I kinda liked the suggestion of speed and reckless driving this suggests!
San Antonio City Hall
According to Mr. A. I (n)-stein:
The City Hall building in San Antonio, Florida, is housed within a historic concrete block structure, originally known as St. Scholastica Hall. This building, completed in 1912, was part of a larger complex constructed by the Benedictine monks, including the nearby St. Leo Hall. St. Scholastica Hall served as a school building for Holy Name Academy
Panco Villa's Mexican Restaurant looks like it could be the real deal, in San Antonio, TX.
Can't you just imagine vaqueros with guns on their hips hanging around outside, ogling people driving by?
Looks like an interesting little town:)
ReplyDeleteWe really didn't do it justice, but it didn't seem that there was much more to see
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there is a San Antonio, FL. It looks like a charming small town.
ReplyDeleteI had seen signs for the town on the Interstate, and even teased my San Antonio,
DeleteTX friend by sending her a picture saying we were 8 miles from San Antonio. So, I knew of its existence. I was just surprised at how small it is and on its continuing "Catholicity"
