That's because there's no longer any land around it.
Is there a plaque in the alley across from the Alamo?
IS there even still an alley across from the Alamo?
Ya know, I don't think so. Between the new mall and shops and widening the street and parking, the Alamo itself is almost gone. Ripley's doesn't add much to the ambiance either. Son spent a week at the Menger last year so the window view was of the Alamo grounds. They weren't kept up and rather pitiful looking. I will give them kudos for blocking off traffic through La Villita but it's just not the same as it used to be.
