San Angelo is my hometown and I have lived here nearly all of my life. It’s a lovely city to raise a family. The downtown area and Ft. Concho are both wonderful places to visit. The water lily ponds are amazing too. The rock work in this park was done after the war. I love visiting this area of town. The Texas Movie Theater has great memories. Saw lots of movies in the late 50’s and 60’s in this theater. I love hearing the church bells ringing. They ring everyday at noon.
I guess I need to go back and visit my hometown after seeing all the new additions. Shame that we all ignored the river walk and Concho Street back in the 80s. We just went to the mall
The Uvalde part is heartbreaking… it’s good that you took the time to go see the area…There are no words sufficient to express the grief the parents will live with… On a lighter note, kick ass car show and murals in San Angelo! This city looks really cool!!!
The historic Cactus Hotel, when it was constructed was the largest hotel that the Sheraton Hotel owned in their hotel chain. Today it is on the Texas Historic Landmark Registry.
San Angelo has been my home for 40 years now....I've always appreciated the way the people come together at any time ,and help out each other....the friendliest and city with the most connectedness to our community place you could live,!
It always surprises me seeing all of these videos that pop up on my feed about San Angelo! It's never seemed like a town that stands out much to me as I have lived here all of my life; but I am always happy to see visitor's point of views on our town 😊It can be hard to find new places to visit in San Angelo after you've been here for a while but the events that are held are well worth the wait! I always love stopping by the Chicken Farm Art Center to support and view local art and listen to the live music!
I recently moved to Eden from San Antonio and head to San Angelo all the time. I love it to me its a perfect town it has it all and to me the traffic flows perfectly like no where I've ever lived...never been stuck in traffic.
I'm a 7th generation Austinite. I somehow have never been to San Angelo. I try to go to Big Bend once a year but have never made the turn to San Angelo. I really should some day.
Well i have lived here most of my life..the places you showed are good places to see but there's sooo much more than just that. San Angelo is a strange mix...college town..military town...retirement town..its a large town with small town mentality. People are friendly...something i didn't understand til i moved away a few brief times. It is the kind of town where you can walk down the street and make eye contact with someone and say hello to the stranger and they don't shrink away in suspicion..they will greet you in kind. Its an excellent place to raise kids...new kids are welcomed not excluded..also a lesson learned. Overall San Angelo is worth visiting..or moving to.
This is Raymond from McKinney. I’ve enjoyed your videos immensely, especially the one featuring San Angelo, Texas. I was born there and actually went to school at the old Fort Concho elementary school. Thanks for sharing your travels😊
Glad to see some representation of my hometown. Very nice city and a very nice place to settle down in. Love to see things that I see every day from a different view
I say San Angelo is the best kept secret in Texas I love it for so many reasons... It has everything a person can ask for without all the craziness of the bigger cities.
Thank you for this video. I was stationed at Goodfellow in 1973-74, none of this beautifully preserved/restored stuff was there when I was. I remember San Angelo as a sleepy old West Texas town where the people were SO friendly, despite (what I thought was) its shabbiness. I used to leave the base just about daily to eat, I remember a little diner on Chadbourne where they served the best biscuits & gravy on the planet. I bought my first pair of cowboy boots here, and still remember the friendliness of all the people I met. Thanks again, the modern San Angelo is beautiful, thank you for highlighting it in your vlog. They must have spent a lot of money on beautifying downtown and the riverwalk in the last 50 years.
As a native San Angelo girl, I can tell you that the people are still just as friendly. I moved away briefly and was amazed that people were not as friendly everywhere as they were at home.
What a town San Angelo is! They seem to have preserved the history very well and they get a lot of kudos for doing it. I could spend some time there having a nose about, especially those old cars. Seems a very bright and lively place. Thanks for sharing and can't wait for the next chapter!
My best friend in high school grew up in San Angelo. His dad was TWA commercial pilot who flew jumbo jets all over the world but his favorite place on Earth was his 3 acre watermelon farm just outside of San Angelo. Those were some of the best tasting watermelons I ever had in my life...sweet memories of more innocent times gone by.
You went by M.L. Leddy's Boot store in San Angelo, I got my first boots in 1963 there. I was 6 years old. My Dad always had them to custom make his boots their! It brings back good memories. I was born at Shannon Hospital in 1957 there and went to ASU there in the mid-1970's. Lots of good memories! Thanks Joe!
My family lived here for half a year while my husband was training at Goodfellow. It was such an interesting place to explore and missing all the textures and art ❤️
i work in the tattoo shop right by the car show you were at:D Lived here all my life and can absolutely say its a really nice place to grow up and raise a family. I love it here, would reccommend it to anyone.
My family is from SA I been here ten years Paintbrush alley I saw I live in San Angelo what Saturday did you go it's not always that busy downtown you got lucky to come on car show day and beer garden day downtown and I think the art funding protects the theatre gotta love our history here my grandparents were sheep ranchers which is here a dying art now but we also helped build the cactus hotel which was one of the first Hilton's and my great uncle's had a loan business downtown ❤️ thanks for sharing San Angelo we are growing
I live in San Angelo, it's a pretty nice place. I officiated a wedding right beside the little waterfall in the lily garden... A beautiful place for sure. Hope you enjoyed your visit.
Originally from Hawaii but been living in San Angelo for most my life. It's a great town/city. It's got the perks of a city but without the traffic! I work downtown so it's nice to see someone give it praise 👏
Can't wait to see the trip into Mississippi! Keep up the good work and may God continue to bless both of you! Special prayers sent to you both during your travels!
Pretty close to home. I live in San Angelo. Thanks for this video. I've been out by the Concho River Walk in previous years. It all looks like home; cause it is. I realized in past years just how many people lived here on the Fourth of July, when the city held fireworks out by Lake Nasworthy. It was unbelievable how many people showed up in one area! 👍🏼👌🏼👏🏼👋🏼
The poor victims...thank u for showing Uvalde. The biggest thing I've noticed in this video and the last several towns- not a lot of downtown graffiti, if any! Interesting due to lower crime rates. What an amazing car show, BOMBS, those beautiful low riders. My dad would love the boot shops in San Angelo. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi mate, just wanted to let you no how i 'always' now finish my day or lets say night wit watching one of your uploads n that's wat ever one pops up in my youtube feeds as its relaxing n not to mention interesting n even educational which all three i just love n a great pre bed time watch..i guess that's why you'll always see a comment from me when i do comment around the same time which is always around 9pm or 10pm New south wales time. "Ok on wit the show n you take care. #peace.
I'm glad I came across this video. I'm about to move my family there and I haven't been yet and it's nice to see what it looks like beyond Google street view. Looks like a very nice town and I'm looking forward to moving there.
@@truss6282 we're looking for a nice place to raise our kids. Got some friends that live there and they love it. We need a change so we're going for it!
love this video as someone born and raised in San Angelo I know this place like the back of my hand and of course I'm jaded to all the stuff around town but its nice to see that people do think san Angelo is a nice town. i recommend y'all to just visit downtown it has way more variety of stores than the mall. plus its all local businesses
Thank you for taking us to the memorial in Uvalde. ❤ Love the cars and Paintbrush Alley! The statues are really cool! Love these Texas towns! Great editing and commentary. Thank you!
Shhh I like the non traffic and not busy stores here in San angelo. It's like a little hidden gem in Texas. I love going to the mineral wells in christoval.
I live in San Angelo. If you would have kept walking down Paintbrush Alley you would have come to an area where there were local sculptures and paintings. You passed Miss Hattis which was a brothel and now is a restaurant that the mayor owns. All those buildings have a underground tunnel that connects them. The ones you saw downtown.
they do have tunnels , the underground tunnels were actually used by bankers and businessman or respected Men who did not want to be seen crossing over to the brothels.
I'm not sure where the entrance starts or ends I know there's one that runs under the jail that leads right under the street to the courthouse when they're crossing inmates and the judge is allowed to use it I believe when crossing back from the jail court and in the main courthouse
@@nickperez. you know what as a matter of fact the one tunnel I do know is under the Wells Fargo Bank that's the one where the bankers would use to go to the Miss Hattie's brothel which is about three blocks over but it's probably connected from the courthouse and the jail most likely since the Wells Fargo Bank is right across the street from the courthouse I had forgot about that a teacher had told me that back in high school that's over 20 years ago
I went the fire academy on Goodfellow AFB in 2016 for my MOS school and got stuck there for 10 months because it was backed up. I really liked that town. When they let me off base, which was mostly on the weekends, I really enjoyed poking around town. The people were always really nice when we went into the restaurants, bars and shops. The mall was good (had very little vacancy). I went to an old fort museum. Seems like a very good place to raise kids to; lots of parks and seemed pretty safe.
San Angelo, TX always seemed to me to be the biggest city in the USA that was not on the way to anywhere else. If you were heading to San Angelo it was because that was your final destination.
San Angelo is the largest Texas town not on an interstate. I love seeing the sheep, murals, art, water lilly garden, shopping on Concho Ave, and visiting Eggemeyer’s store.
I moved to San Angelo, in 1994. Just love, “ my almost a city”. Had to move away 20 years ago, but still hope to move back, one of this days. I surely miss my home. 🍃
I’m very impressed with this city, looks so inviting. The parks and river are just what a person need to find a place to relax. The water Lilly park was a first for me. This is on my list to visit.
We moved to San Angelo from Sacramento CA in 2014. You picked a good day to visit. Downtown is usually dead on the weekends. Yes, the river walk is nice. The city puts up a beautiful 12 days of Christmas display that runs the length of the river. We visited Uvalde in July. Very sad walking around viewing the memorial.
I used to live in San Angelo when I was kid in 72, we lived off chatburn, I used to takes walks with my grandfather on the concho river, and I think I went two different elementary schools Bellaire and Reagan.
Makes me long to be able to travel again! Heck, I can't even get myself to the end of the driveway any more. But that doesn't keep me from loving your travels and looking forward to the next video! Thanks.
Thanks for this video on San Angelo. Looks like a great place. We've been thinking of moving to Texas from SC. This was one of the candidates. We're retired AF so we thought we'd fit in in an AF town. Glad to know more info on it from someone who's been there. As always thanks for the great videos!
It's a beautiful small city, RR. The river walk is gorgeous, and very family oriented. We stayed at a "hotel cluster" as I call them - Holiday Inn, Hilton Home2 Suites, Courtyard By Marriott, Springhill Suites, etc...they were all new, and the area around there was very nice. And with 100,000 people, it's also big enough to have everything you need. But it still feels like a small town. Best of both worlds.
I live here in San Angelo it a unsafe city. The crime is going up. Last night someone tried to steal my mass air flow sensor and the city smells bad. The water is super toxic and not safe at all.
@@s.e.986 I've been here since 2016 and never had a problem. I take preventative measures, my cars live in my garage, we have surveillance all around the house and I believe in my castle laws. If someone comes a looking for trouble, trouble they will get.
Who knew there were so many types of water lilies? Being somewhat horticulturally challenged, I always thought a water lily was just a water lily 😁 San Angelo looks like a nice, family-friendly place to live. And kudos to whoever has been responsible for preserving those historical buildings you showed. I hate to see such places allowed to become run-down. The murals are wonderful, they add color and liveliness to a town - provided they're well-executed of course, as these ones are. I'm a sucker for street fairs, or however the locals may refer to them. You never know what cool stuff might be on offer to look at or buy. Agreed, that '59 Corvette was sweet!
@@toddtalley1576 I'd love to Todd, but it's a bit of a hike for me - I'm in Australia. I have been to the States a few times, many years ago, but those visits were mostly work-related so I wasn't as free to roam around as much as I would have liked. I'd love to take a driving tour around the country someday, like LS does. But thanks for the invitation! 🙂
I live here in San angelo. Ft concho is also where they had all the kids in the YFZ ranch from Warren Jeff's. Documentary on Netflix has san angelo in it as well.
It's not feminine to want to see the water lilies. You're just sharing it with your fans and viewers! I'll never go there and see it, so thank you. I've also never seen the Uvalde Memorial, nor will I. Such a senseless tragedy, but also such a beautiful tribute.
If you ever find yourself back in San Angelo, I'd suggest visiting Pop Art Alley, which is also downtown. There's some neat works of art there, some done by myself and other art students at the university. The art museum is a great place to visit too!
You have to come back through and go back to the Santa Fe Park to the Bosque and see all the mosaic art pieces. Also did you notice the mural painted sheep scattered throughout the town? Those are super cool too!
Fort Concho had Buffalo soldiers (black soldiers - the Indians thought their hair resembled that of a buffalo). Organized in February of 1987, the Fort Concho Buffalo Soldiers take part in the living history program of the Fort Concho Museum.
I heard you say you are making your way to Gulfport. There’s some great places to eat but they are out of the way. I live in Long Beach. If you enjoy seafood this is the place. But your right there are towns in Mississippi that time has forgotten unfortunately. Years ago I went to a town up in the northeast of Mississippi. I was amazed that people even lived there. It was definitely a place that time has forgotten. Armory, Mississippi
Thank you for the tips, Curtis. You're gonna, probably, most likely, see us having a meal in Long Beach now. And I see it's right next to Gulf Port. Anyway, we love Mississippi. After Texas, I think we've done more videos in Mississippi than any other state. And we're about to do more! BTW, my wife loves Gulfport. :)
Mary Mahoney’s Old French house and McElroys Harbor House in Biloxi are places to hit up. Dan B's Restaurant & Bar In the Bay has an excellent breakfast. Dempsey's In the Kiln is our go to seafood place. More bang for the buck. Be careful what you order. You will be taking food home with you.. Cuz’s in the Bay. Never had a bad meal there. Harbor view in LB is spot on but can get loud dining inside. Bacchus On The Beach in The Pass has it all. Excellent specials. Downtown Gulfport has some good dining places. The Chimneys Restaurant, Salute Italian Restaurant. Check out menus cause there’s a couple places that are pricey. Just depends on your budget. Crawfish is out of season.
Lover of water lilies? Of course! Your videos have made it plain that you're a romantic at heart (Nature, old buildings and out-of-the-way, time-forgotten places). The building behind the closed theatre facade seems older than the theatre and built for an earlier purpose (may have been a pre-cinema 'music hall').
You should visit the pop art Museum here if you ever return. It was once a bowling alley but it got struck by lightning twice then it was graffitied and people ended up turning it into what we now know as the pop art Museum! Also visit paintbrush alleyway if you ever get the chance! It's wonderful! I'm proud to be a resident of this town :)
Thanks for putting a spotlight on the town I've lived in for most of my life at this point(not from here originally, but I've been here since the early 90s). Like all towns, there will always be their issues but I can speak confidently that this is a very nice place to both grow up in and also raise a family which isn't something a lot of people can say about a lot of places.
I spent 3 of the most wonderful years of my young adult life in San Angelo attending Angelo State University! You missed a beautiful campus if you didn't make it over there before you left! I got to explore some of those same places you showed even though they really improved the river area downtown since I was there. The only thing I remember being on the river was a miniature golf course under the bridge! I was there during the school years of 1979-1980 and 1980-1981 (graduating that summer- B.S. in Biology) and again in 1982-1983 (to complete courses for a teaching certificate and did my student teaching at Lake View High School). Go Rams!

San Angelo born and bred, always interesting to see the city from a visitor prospective
I've lived in San Angelo 8 years. The people here are the friendliest, nicest and caring people that I have ever met. Very family oriented

I was stationed at Goodfellow AFB exactly 60 years ago, 1964. Sure has changed a lot!

It really was. Lots of cool things to see there.
Thank you for taking us to Uvalde
🙏 Prayers for the folks who lost loved ones in Uvalde may the parents find peace of mind 💜💜 They fly with angels now 👼🏻
I'm surprised to see the cops parking around the site there seeing how the entire UPD was suspended recently by the city council.
@@joebanks3698 rent - a - cops maybe 🤔
They were state troopers.
You can't really do San Angelo justice without visiting the Cactus Hotel - a 1920's hotel that is being restored Beautiful artwork inside!
I drove by it. I would like to see it when it's finished.
The top floors are pretty cool
The historic Cactus Hotel, when it was constructed was the largest hotel that the Sheraton Hotel owned in their hotel chain. Today it is on the Texas Historic Landmark Registry.
The Cactus was not a Sheraton, it was one of the original Hilton hotels, built by Conrad Hilton.

@@jhernandez1045 woah that’s pretty crazy
Thank you Lord Spoda for featuring my hometown. I live on the other side of the footbridge on the Concho river you were filming on.
You're welcome! I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it is there. :)
I went the fire academy on Goodfellow AFB in 2016 for my MOS school and got stuck there for 10 months because it was backed up. I really liked that town. When they let me off base, which was mostly on the weekends, I really enjoyed poking around town. The people were always really nice when we went into the restaurants, bars and shops. The mall was good (had very little vacancy). I went to an old fort museum. Seems like a very good place to raise kids to; lots of parks and seemed pretty safe.
San Angelo, TX always seemed to me to be the biggest city in the USA that was not on the way to anywhere else. If you were heading to San Angelo it was because that was your final destination.
San Angelo was on my way from Temple Tx (where I was born) to El Paso and then Los Angeles.
@@larsedik I passed through there dozens of times on my way between Austin and Midland.
San Angelo is the largest Texas town not on an interstate. I love seeing the sheep, murals, art, water lilly garden, shopping on Concho Ave, and visiting Eggemeyer’s store.
I literally just had this show up in my recommended. I'm a local here in San Angelo. How awesome for you to make a video of my hometown honestly!
It's pretty awesome. :)
Same! Just popped on my recommendation! Made me happy to see!
I live in San Angelo! I was browsing through TH-cam and this video was recommended for me. I hope you enjoyed your time in our city.
I did!
I moved to San Angelo, in 1994. Just love, “ my almost a city”. Had to move away 20 years ago, but still hope to move back, one of this days. I surely miss my home. 🍃
Proud of you San angelo
Love this, come again!
We have lived here in San Angelo for about 20 years . We were stationed at Goodfellow AFB. I love it, it’s a nice place to live
Thanks for the video highlighting my town.I didn't grow up here, but it's the place I call home after retiring form the military.
Cool, Mark! It's a great town.
Who knew?
A great example of texas history and modern times
I’m very impressed with this city, looks so inviting. The parks and river are just what a person need to find a place to relax. The water Lilly park was a first for me. This is on my list to visit.
Cool!! It's a pretty nice small city.
Thanks for another fantastic video. I was in San Angelo for the first time in July last year. It is an awesome city!
San Angelo is a great place. I used to deliver to the Home Depot and Walmarts. Love that town!
Cool where u it now
Thank you for this awesome view of my hometown, San Angelo! I hope you can come back for another visit sometime. Safe travels!
Born and raised in San Angelo. Love it here. It’s a beautiful small town.
We moved to San Angelo from Sacramento CA in 2014. You picked a good day to visit. Downtown is usually dead on the weekends. Yes, the river walk is nice. The city puts up a beautiful 12 days of Christmas display that runs the length of the river. We visited Uvalde in July. Very sad walking around viewing the memorial.
I hope to God you didn’t take Sacramento politics with you!
@@oldrango883 well, first of all your comment is rude….second, no we didn’t. That was a motivating reason to leave CA.
@@oldrango883 EXACTLY! They say keep austin weird, we say, keep san angelo backwards!
Never thought id see San Angelo pop up on my recommendations
I've been watching your videos for a long time. I come from Germany and get to know your beautiful country through your videos. Thank you👍👍👍
Thank you for watching, Torsten.
What a wonderful video ❤❤❤I love the water lilies beautiful and the butterflies
I used to live in San Angelo when I was kid in 72, we lived off chatburn, I used to takes walks with my grandfather on the concho river, and I think I went two different elementary schools Bellaire and Reagan.
To add to the water lilies, build it and they will come. All the varieties of butterflies, etc.
Makes me long to be able to travel again! Heck, I can't even get myself to the end of the driveway any more. But that doesn't keep me from loving your travels and looking forward to the next video! Thanks.
Awesome. I'm making these videos for folks like you. :)
So sad what happened to those kids. May God be with there families.
I would have loved to go into that General Store. And I loved Hank the cow dog!
He was pretty cool looking. :)
Thanks for this video on San Angelo. Looks like a great place. We've been thinking of moving to Texas from SC. This was one of the candidates. We're retired AF so we thought we'd fit in in an AF town. Glad to know more info on it from someone who's been there. As always thanks for the great videos!
It's a beautiful small city, RR. The river walk is gorgeous, and very family oriented. We stayed at a "hotel cluster" as I call them - Holiday Inn, Hilton Home2 Suites, Courtyard By Marriott, Springhill Suites, etc...they were all new, and the area around there was very nice. And with 100,000 people, it's also big enough to have everything you need. But it still feels like a small town. Best of both worlds.
I live here in San Angelo it a unsafe city. The crime is going up. Last night someone tried to steal my mass air flow sensor and the city smells bad. The water is super toxic and not safe at all.
Come on we want you
@@s.e.986 I've been here since 2016 and never had a problem. I take preventative measures, my cars live in my garage, we have surveillance all around the house and I believe in my castle laws. If someone comes a looking for trouble, trouble they will get.
Who knew there were so many types of water lilies? Being somewhat horticulturally challenged, I always thought a water lily was just a water lily 😁
San Angelo looks like a nice, family-friendly place to live. And kudos to whoever has been responsible for preserving those historical buildings you showed. I hate to see such places allowed to become run-down. The murals are wonderful, they add color and liveliness to a town - provided they're well-executed of course, as these ones are.
I'm a sucker for street fairs, or however the locals may refer to them. You never know what cool stuff might be on offer to look at or buy. Agreed, that '59 Corvette was sweet!
We agree on everything, Markus. :)
Come visit us sometime Markus
@@toddtalley1576 I'd love to Todd, but it's a bit of a hike for me - I'm in Australia. I have been to the States a few times, many years ago, but those visits were mostly work-related so I wasn't as free to roam around as much as I would have liked. I'd love to take a driving tour around the country someday, like LS does.
But thanks for the invitation! 🙂
In fact the collection numbers over 31,000 varieties of lillies
@@parazon9962 Really? That is amazing.
I live here in San angelo. Ft concho is also where they had all the kids in the YFZ ranch from Warren Jeff's. Documentary on Netflix has san angelo in it as well.
It's not feminine to want to see the water lilies. You're just sharing it with your fans and viewers! I'll never go there and see it, so thank you. I've also never seen the Uvalde Memorial, nor will I. Such a senseless tragedy, but also such a beautiful tribute.
Thank you, Kim. :)
Haha never expected anyone to visit my home town of San Angelo. Kinda surreal to see it in the video lol
This is my home town😊😊😊
Thanks for visiting my town
Thank you had Fun!
I lived in San Angelo in 1971-72, where my son was born. It was just a smallish city then. I don't recognize it much now.
Gotta love that my home town is getting some publicity
If you ever find yourself back in San Angelo, I'd suggest visiting Pop Art Alley, which is also downtown. There's some neat works of art there, some done by myself and other art students at the university. The art museum is a great place to visit too!
You have to come back through and go back to the Santa Fe Park to the Bosque and see all the mosaic art pieces. Also did you notice the mural painted sheep scattered throughout the town? Those are super cool too!
Fort Concho had Buffalo soldiers (black soldiers - the Indians thought their hair resembled that of a buffalo). Organized in February of 1987, the Fort Concho Buffalo Soldiers take part in the living history program of the Fort Concho Museum.
I heard you say you are making your way to Gulfport. There’s some great places to eat but they are out of the way. I live in Long Beach. If you enjoy seafood this is the place. But your right there are towns in Mississippi that time has forgotten unfortunately. Years ago I went to a town up in the northeast of Mississippi. I was amazed that people even lived there. It was definitely a place that time has forgotten. Armory, Mississippi
Thank you for the tips, Curtis. You're gonna, probably, most likely, see us having a meal in Long Beach now. And I see it's right next to Gulf Port. Anyway, we love Mississippi. After Texas, I think we've done more videos in Mississippi than any other state. And we're about to do more! BTW, my wife loves Gulfport. :)
Mary Mahoney’s Old French house and McElroys Harbor House in Biloxi are places to hit up.
Dan B's Restaurant & Bar In the Bay has an excellent breakfast.
Dempsey's In the Kiln is our go to seafood place. More bang for the buck. Be careful what you order. You will be taking food home with you.. Cuz’s in the Bay. Never had a bad meal there. Harbor view in LB is spot on but can get loud dining inside. Bacchus On The Beach in The Pass has it all. Excellent specials. Downtown Gulfport has some good dining places. The Chimneys Restaurant, Salute Italian Restaurant. Check out menus cause there’s a couple places that are pricey. Just depends on your budget.
Crawfish is out of season.
Cool. Looking forward to visiting there!!
My home town getting some love 😊
Lover of water lilies? Of course! Your videos have made it plain that you're a romantic at heart (Nature, old buildings and out-of-the-way, time-forgotten places). The building behind the closed theatre facade seems older than the theatre and built for an earlier purpose (may have been a pre-cinema 'music hall').
You are so right, David. :)
You should visit the pop art Museum here if you ever return. It was once a bowling alley but it got struck by lightning twice then it was graffitied and people ended up turning it into what we now know as the pop art Museum! Also visit paintbrush alleyway if you ever get the chance! It's wonderful! I'm proud to be a resident of this town :)
Thanks for putting a spotlight on the town I've lived in for most of my life at this point(not from here originally, but I've been here since the early 90s). Like all towns, there will always be their issues but I can speak confidently that this is a very nice place to both grow up in and also raise a family which isn't something a lot of people can say about a lot of places.
I spent 3 of the most wonderful years of my young adult life in San Angelo attending Angelo State University! You missed a beautiful campus if you didn't make it over there before you left! I got to explore some of those same places you showed even though they really improved the river area downtown since I was there. The only thing I remember being on the river was a miniature golf course under the bridge! I was there during the school years of 1979-1980 and 1980-1981 (graduating that summer- B.S. in Biology) and again in 1982-1983 (to complete courses for a teaching certificate and did my student teaching at Lake View High School). Go Rams!
Looking forward to making a return visit to Angelo this summer. Love me some Packsaddle BBQ!
What a lovely place. You don't see many of those old school theaters like the one in downtown .
I fished near that bridge as a kiddo. Nice.
