The Riverwalk isn’t a ditch
I’m from Arkansas, so I’m used to really huge drainage ditches criss crossing many of the cities in the state. I’m also used to the Mississippi river, the Arkansas river, and the White river. Well, the Mississippi doesn’t start in Mississippi, the Arkansas doesn’t start in Arkansas, and the White starts in a lake.
However, the San Antonio river IS a river and it DOES start in San Antonio. How novel is that?
Every time you mention San Antonio to someone, the Riverwalk is mentioned. For the longest I thought the Riverwalk was just a goofy tourist attraction but I was so wrong!
The river starts a few miles north of downtown and wanders “fifteen miles across six miles of city blocks”. It then flows another 180 miles to the Guadalupe. I really had no idea it was a viable, original river. I thought it was a big fancy ditch. Yeah, I’ll admit it. You know cities do things like that to attract tourists.
