Episode 35: The Road To Alamo Plaza
Mission San Antonio de Valero, later known as the Alamo, did its job: it eventually became the center of a bustling city, with Alamo Plaza in the middle of all the action.
As we continue to mark Preservation Month, today we reveal the road to Alamo Plaza and the seeds of development - how it became known for stores, banks, museums, food, entertainment - plus, the modern-day efforts to restore reverence to the battle site. Featuring the Alamo's Researcher Thomas Ledesma.
