• 2:04
  the Witty Tarrannosaurs Meet the Family is making its Texas debut. Is the most
• 2:08
  comprehensive exhibition ever mounted on tarrantosaurs. Everybody love the dinosaurs. The mere Cats
• 2:14
  are back at the San Antonio Zoo. Their whole little family are popping up
• 2:17
  and having fun. That's just some of the new things going on just for
• 2:21
  starters. Wow. You know some of the things I'm looking forward to is
• 2:23
  is actually happening next weekend over at the Hemisphere Expo is the Thomas J.
• 2:27
  Henry Superstar Car and a car show and Comic Con that's gonna be going on.
• 2:30
  You're gonna have a lot of celebrities are going to be there too,
• 2:34
  which is really cool. And the one thing I've always been interested in is
• 2:38
  and I've never I've never had a chance to go to it, but I
• 2:40
  might go to very soon because people have been telling me a lot about the
• 2:44
  Japanese tea garden that you guys have there. It is an absolute San Antonio
• 2:49
  treasure. Yes, Japanese tea gardens in bracker Ridge Park, which is a
• 2:53
  huge three hundred plus acre park right on the north tip of downtown. It's
• 2:58
  sort of like our Central Park. It's got the little train going through at
• 3:00
  the San Antonio Zoo. It's there. The river walk runs through it.
• 3:04
  The river runs through it, I should say, you know, just walking
• 3:07
  trails, hiking trails. But the Japanese tea garden is there, and it's
• 3:10
  actually built in an old quarry. We love to do things to the old
• 3:13
  quarries in San Antonio. So if you can imagine multi level walking up and
• 3:16
  down, beautiful architecture, historic architecture, the plants, the foliage, the
• 3:22
  nature. It is a hidden treasure. I'm so glad you've been toed it.
• 3:24
  Yeah, you know. And also I'm hearing a lot of rumors about
• 3:28
  what's going on at the Alamo. What's going on there. I know everybody
• 3:32
  in Texas says, oh, I've been to the Alamo. Well, listen,
• 3:35
  you haven't been in the Alamo if you haven't been lately, because several
• 3:38
  years ago we started the Alamo Plan, Jeff. That is a five hundred
• 3:43
  million dollars Alamo Plan that the State of Texas and the city and private folks
• 3:47
  are investing in because it's just time for this national treasure. We're retaking back
• 3:53
  the not retaking back, but re establishing and showing the boundaries of the original
• 3:58
  mission because of course the city grew up around the Alamo, so those got
• 4:00
  a little bit blurred over time. With a complete emphasis on preservation, on
• 4:05
  history, on reverence, on respect, and also telling the entire story of
• 4:11
  the Alamo because it was a complicated story. And how we're going to do
• 4:14
  that are through things like the Ralston Family Collection Center just opened in March twenty
• 4:18
  four thousand square feet ten thousand exhibits square feet. And guess what collection is
• 4:24
  there? The Phil Collins Collection. Did you know Phil Collins was the largest
• 4:29
  collector of Alamo memorabilia, things that people didn't even know existed. Well,
• 4:32
  he said, you tell the story of the Alamo, right, you build
• 4:34
  a world class visitor center. The main one will be through in twenty six,
• 4:39
  but at the Rolston Family Collection Center, his entire collection there, including
• 4:43
  a beautiful diorama of the story the Alamo narrated by Phil Collins. So don't
• 4:47
  check it off your list. You haven't been there lately, You need to
• 4:50
  come to the Alamo. It's the heart of San Antonio. Wow Wow.
• 4:53
  And of course everybody's talking about the Riverwalk. This one thing you can never
• 4:56
  forget is of course the Riverwalk. And then come when it gets out coming
• 5:00
  into the fall with you know, Aerosmith showing up in November, and you
• 5:02
  can go the night before and maybe stay at one of the haunted hotels like
• 5:06
  the Crockett that's over the air and stuff. I'm looking forward to it.
