San Antonio Zoo has the limestone quarry that was used to build the original Alamo 🦍
As the Alamo undergoes restoration in honor of the 189th anniversary of the battle's end, an unexpected find is aiding the process.
#OnThisDay, February 23, in 1836, the 13-day siege of the Alamo, prelude to the Battle of the Alamo, began in San Antonio, Texas (depicted in The Alamo, 2004)

i doubt the amount of #hypocrisy can even be measured, to glorify the battle of the #alamo as a national myth on one hand, and yet belittle the #ukrainian fight for their #freedom on the other!
dont get me wrong; war is horrible, lives should be spared, but IT IS NOT UKRAINE WAGING WAR YOU COMLETE FUCKHEAD!! -sorry, that had to get out somewhere.

My Saturday morning double bill: Star Trek engages in an 'Errand of Mercy' while The Time Tunnel visits 'The Alamo.'
Both episodes were filmed on the same set. The Time Tunnel used the disused fort set on the Desilu 40 Acres lot in October 1966. Star Trek filmed there two months later, in January 1967 (previous to that, portions of the set had appeared in the Rigel VII scene from 'The Cage').

In the Panic of 1837, lots of slavers in the US South lost fortunes and went into debt due to crash of investments that were very much like the Subprime mortgage crisis, except they invested in bundles of mortgages on enslaved people rather than houses. So a bunch of the slavers decided to move to Mexican Texas to escape their debts, and illegally bring their slaves with them.
#OnThisDay, March 6, in 1836, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna reclaimed the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar after a 13 day siege, killing most of its occupants (The Alamo, 2004)

Day 2337
The Alamo isn't my favorite of the San Antonio missions (the others are more beautiful in my opinion), but I got lucky that no one was standing in front of it. I had to take advantage of that.

Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie must have been very hard to describe if they truly fell somewhere in between John Wayne and Billy Bob Thornton, and Richard Widmark and Jason Patric, respectively.

The Man from the Alamo is a 1953 Budd Boetticher western with Glenn Ford as a man with a reputation for cowardice hanging over his head, a reputation he feels (with some justification) is undeserved.
An intelligent grown-up western and an exciting action-packed movie with fine large-scale action sequences.

A very stylish group of folks in front of the Alamo sometime in the 1930s. What a photo!
Remember the Alamo. Great advice during Christmas, 1905 and still great advice.
The second-oldest known photo of the Alamo. Note the barrel of the cannon lying in the foreground.
Talking about a big old kaboom, man. #thealamo
