When we moved to Spring Branch 13 years ago we were in the country. Then Bulverde built a Home Depot and HEB Plus, then they built a McDonalds at the edge of our subdivision, then another McDonalds in Bulverde proper, then WalMart opened this spring and brought a Whataburger, Popeyes, and half a dozen other fast food joints with it. The north edge of San Antonio has moved about 5 miles in that time frame too. It might be time to move back to Idaho.

I hear you, but they've got snow, lots of it, in Idaho. I don't even own a pair of longjohns anymore. Or, those gator things.

Whe I went to high school on the north side of SATX, 1604 was still a 2-lane FM road. I've considered moving back since retirement, but the price of housing and sA city and Bexar county property taxes have gone crazy.

Comal County is reasonable and a close drive.
