..a few things I experienced this weekend in San Antonio.

Seeing the EPA, back on site at the old Big Tex Grain Silos, testing again? (last update from SA Current) Riding my bike by today it seemed like they were set up for the night, this would make the second time they have spent time gathering samples here. When I spoke with the manager onsite last time he told me it was a waiting game, if the results came back conclusive they would be back for more tests..It was turned into an EPA Superfund site sometime last year(oops, maybe longer).
(disclosure : I shot this photo weeks ago for the Current, when the EPA were first onsite.. I had to be driven onto the property in a protected vehicle..It was not the first time I had to question the four years I spent out here working on and inside of FL!GHT Gallery, which was once housed in the now fenced off Silo # 18)

One more of the mayors new projects came online last night, the reopening/renovation of Main Plaza (in front of San Fernando Cathedral) was celebrated with a fountain lighting and an LED piece with the San Antonio Symphony and Bill FitzGibbons collaborating..

Also opening with much fanfare was Mignon Harkraders “Swellegant,” this last Second Saturday at FL!GHT. We’re all pretty proud of the improvements in our dry goods room around here also (2nd image). Mignon’s show will be up through the end of the month.
