SAN ANTONIO —The Alamo needs a makeover; on that, at least, everyone agrees. Plaster is flaking off the walls of the nearly 300-year-old former Spanish mission, the most revered battle site in Texas history...
...A $450 million plan to renovate the site has devolved into a five-year brawl over whether to focus narrowly on the 1836 battle or present a fuller view that delves into the site’s Indigenous history and the role of slavery in the Texas Revolution...

P ?
So what you are saying is that without the museum, this is probably only a $20-million renovation job...the majority of the $450 million is this museum?
Total BS! The writer is a ding bat.

San Antonio City Council votes 10-1 to approve new Alamo plan
Other things he writes:
My forebear fought the Texas revolution.
He he himself a fmr slave he also fought for the Confederacy marched in arms with the wise legion his brother also a fmr slave with the 45th Virginia an honored Confederate veteran his sisters husband herself also a fmr slave was a SGT with Chapman’s battery BLM enabling yankee jackasses can pound sand.
Btw his former owners not only freed him but gave him the best farm land for him and their family with some money too.
What did the Union army do? While he was away fighting they ganged raped his wife burned their home ransacked the food supply and she ended up committing suicide after the war.
The author is a freelance writer, he wrote the BS article like this so he could sell it to MSN and the Washington ComPosat.
He wanted a paycheck.
The Left hates Texas and we will not put up with their crap here.
Bump
The phrase in Dixie is ‘forgive often, forget never’.
Mad scientist wanted to reanimate remains of Davey Crocket and James Bowie. Too late the government discovered his dastardly plan, but by then he had run up this huge bar tab.
“stucco and Adobe need reskinning fairly often”
Racist!;D
They need Native American-ning fairly often is the proper phrase.
Forget the Alamo!
How about leave it alone?
Ahh yes, I’d forgotten about Duffy’s endless stories about being backs to the wall with Davy Crockett.
There’s a LOT that can be said of JFK, JFK’s father, MLK, and literally EVERY other Leftist hero, along with slavery (to this day), in the ‘old country’. Do they REALLY want to go there?
“the most revered battle site in Texas history”
Yes, and it was the battle in 1836 that made it so, and not some wandering tribe of Indians who also moved all over that part of Texas.
Arlington Cemetery is on land once owned by Robert E Lee. Now should that hallowed ground be turned into a land fill because of it?
I have been saying this since the early 1990s.
Anybody with 2 functioning brain cells should have been able to see that it was never going to stop at demonizing the South and its leaders and its symbols. It was always going to move on to Washington, Jefferson, the Stars and Stripes, etc etc.
Pretty much
Not when the Bushes finish with it. They plan to expand it by several blocks, tear down the memorial to those who fought little P's relatives, put in a bar and restaurant, and make it a first class tourist trap.
Start with Slide 22 here

then scroll down. Watch the Centopath disappear. By slide 30, it’s a “premiere visitor experience”
The dotted area in 30 show where the restaurant and bar are going to be located.
Isaac Ryan’s name is on the back interior wall in the Alamo. I have a copy of his Baptism certificate and his parents’ wedding license. He is in my family history book. I guess you would call him a cousin.
He was on the north wall near canon, one of the first to be killed. Came from Louisiana to help defend the American patriots.
