525,600 minutes. In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. How do you measure a year living in the best city in the world?Today, on our first anniversary, we want to take a moment to look back at some highlights during our trip around the sun.

A drive down memory lane

In one year, we've been able to share some incredible moments with all of you — like welcoming the new holiday staple, Lightscape, to San Antonio, and sharing five things you didn't know about Military City, USA.

We can't forget about the excitement of seeing Port SA’s vision for tech in 2023 and DeLorean Motor Co.'s plans to move its global headquarter to SATX.

Skyline-altering news

One year's time also brought some exciting development announcements to the 210.

305 Soledad St. | At 400 feet tall, this new residential tower is planned to be one of San Antonio’s tallest buildings.
Hemisfair hotel | Slated for the site at 222 S. Alamo St. is a 17-story, 200-room boutique hotel overlooking the ongoing Civic Park development.
Ninth-tallest downtown tower | In most recent news, the City of San Antonio approved the construction of a 28-story, 351-ft-tall tower at Hemisfair.

Interviews

Sometimes, the best way to learn about your city is through the eyes of someone else. Who better to ask than community leaders, industry professionals, and local celebrities? Here are some excerpts from our favorite conversations.

"Before I could make words, I was singing.” — Ada Vox
"I’m like, the man that I’m in love with is holding my childhood dream." — April Monterrosa
"I was told repeatedly that I wasn’t ever going to make it. I still believed in myself, but I wish I had done a better job of that. Just fought back. And sort of ignore the naysayers." — John Quiñones
