The talk of the town in the last few days has been the River North river walk expansion project in San Antonio…also dubbed the Museum Reach, which includes the section between Lexington Avenue and Josephine Street near the Pearl Brewery. Today was the grand opening of this section.
The section boasts a number of features including public restrooms, exhibits by local artists, pedestrian bridges, fish lunkers (shelters), and the lock and dam complex. The lock and dam complex takes approximately 8-10 minutes to allow entry and exit of the barge and to displace 40,000 gallons of water. My brother took a series of photos and turned it into a video montage of the lock and dam process. Enjoy!

I’m no expert on effective marketing, but occasionally an advertisement catches your attention. In fact, some are so good you have to tell your friends and family all about it. Depending on the venue, the placement of some memorable ads can cost millions while others cost significantly less and are just as engaging.
Jon Wayne Air Conditioning in San Antonio has accomplished that with its ‘made you look’ slogan.
I rarely notice billboards. In fact, I can’t think of one that caught my attention like this one since the GodSpeaks billboards.

With Justin Timberlake making unforgettable Alec Baldwin-esque appearances on Saturday Night Live, my expectations were high for a homerun performance. He and Andy Samberg were back for a follow-up music video to Dick In A Box…just in time for Mother’s Day. It’s not the uncensored version, but you get the idea.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
