The Sun Never Sets on Jazz
Despite a growing, youthful population, and rapid downtown urban development seeking to position the city as a megalopolis amongst its peers — Dallas, Houston, and our forever sworn taco frenemy, Austin — San Antonio's jazz music offerings are slim. Yet, something very interesting has been playing out in our jazz scene at the moment ...
There and Back Again: A Ron’s Tale
I’d come to interview former Mayor Ron Nirenberg about his memoir coming out in the spring, Nirenberg: The Education of a Public Servant; and I was a little lost.

Animalis Fabula Brings Bold Storytelling to San Antonio’s Historic Woodlawn Theatre
The Animalis Fabula Film Festival took place at the historic Woodlawn Comedy Theatre in San Antonio, and from the start it was clear this was not a festival built around spectacle. It felt quieter than that. Intentional. This is the kind of event where people come prepared to watch, to really listen to the stories being told and to have it resonate with them long after the lights come back up.
A City in Motion
With the kick-off of the inaugural San Antonio Marathon, the city of San Antonio was in full motion. Early morning volunteers arrived at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center, city road crews began locking down transit routes, and 15,000 people arose for the day, prepared to undertake a feat that — for many — would be the greatest challenge they’d ever faced.
Lights, Camera, Action
San Antonio is also an incubator for emerging talent, including writers, producers, actors, and directors, like San Antonio native Justin Rodriguez.

WINGS shows us that fashion is not frivolous—it is powerful. It restores dignity, uplifts spirits, and helps women feel whole again. Under Ruth Gonzalez’s leadership, WINGS is more than a nonprofit; it is a lifeline.

Crafting Men’s Wellness
It is crucial to actively support local small businesses. Oftentimes, it is less about money and more about community outreach and impact. Supporting these small businesses could also mean supporting local animal shelters, children’s hospitals, veterans, and more.

Reforming Education: From Standardized Stress to Emotional Health
From excessive standardized testing to underfunded support services, students are navigating a landscape more focused on performance metrics than personal growth. And while lawmakers debate cell phone bans and school vouchers, many educators and families agree: we’ve lost sight of what truly matters—mental well-being, emotional intelligence, and authentic support for diverse learners.
