Visit The Riverwalk is proud to announce the results of this year's historical Best of San Antonio (Riverwalk) Awards.
Despite the name change from Best of The Riverwalk after a legal challenge from Reno's Riverwalk, voting numbers were at record highs. 130,000 San Antonians and Riverwalkers voted over a two-week period that left local schools without classrooms for days.
The BoSARA 2010 represents the best of the best of what the best of San Antonio has to offer. Each winner is symbolized
San Antonio has been a culinary center since its establishment in 1922. But the FDA's campaign to ban transfats has forced Nutrional Facts labels to be added to all taxis, hotels and riverboats within walking distance of Pat O'Brien's. Science editor Maria Frimble reports.

Police are following leads to the sudden disappearance of all the water on San Antonio's Riverwalk early last week. Sources have confirmed that no ransom note has been found and SAPD is stumped at the motivation for stealing the river.

And 2009 was no different, as it continues to provide 1000% of the RDA of awesomeness that kicks away the crutches of life's setbacks and says, "Tiny Tim, not only will you walk again, but you'll dropkick cities like New Braunfels faster than Batman with itching powder trapped in his suit".

The world famous San Antonio Riverwalk, with its unique collection of tourist attractions and businesses, has been the last place in the country to feel the current recession.

Texas' largest State Science Fair was held on the Riverwalk this week. Staff writer Maria Frimble sees what the kids - our future - have got to say, and therefore looks into the future.

Chief Assistant Editor, Maria Frimble, presents her top picks for the Riverwalk on Labor Day.
I think the Riverwalk offers so much for friends and family to do on Labor Day.
