San Antonio is the only city in Texas that could be described as charming, mostly because of its architecture. The other cities have selective areas that are interesting and maybe even charming, but none compare to SA.
I took a couple of architecture courses as electives in college 40 years ago. "Clean and simple" was stressed, with design being limited to modular rectangles, triangles and maybe an occasional arch. It's left a lot of boring structures on the landscape, but fortunately design thinking has been changing for the better in recent times.
It's good to see you back on the board. Ksquared did an admiral job while you were away, but I can imagine that she's happy to see you back as well.
