The San Antonio City Council approved a $450 million redevelopment plan for the Alamo, marking a new chapter for the nearly 300-year-old site. The council voted for the proposal on Thursday, signing off on disputed changes, including moving the 1930s Cenotaph memorial, the San Antonio Express-News reported. The vote comes after months of debate by city officials and residents over elements of the redevelopment plan, such as closing streets to vehicle traffic, moving the Cenotaph, and using fences or barriers to control public access. The council approved a 50-year lease that gives the Texas General Land Office management and control of the plaza. Other changes include building a museum.

He must have done a lot of damage
when he p***ed on it. Forever banned.
How the F do you spend 450 million renovating it? Build a hyperloop to Dallas?
And... just for the record... it was also a church. Probably people buried under that road.
They are finally putting in a basement, hehe.
Since it is uber-lib San Antonio, will there be an unfortunate display dedicated to the homosexual defenders of the Alamo??
I miss horny toads. Haven’t seen one in decades. Don’t know that our kids have ever seen one. They used to be everywhere. Cute little things. I’d tie a string around their necks like a leash and have them as pets. Just searched and supposedly they live for 5 years. Apparently some live much longer. My grandmother found one with one of my leashes on it long after I’d grown up.
They're fierce looking little things to be so docile. We used to turn them over and rub their little tummies and they'd go to sleep. Shame we're losing such cute little things.
Me too.
I hear that the Bushes voted for Hillary. So, I think they deserve some protests votes.
