Fabrictopia, 926 West Laurel, San Antonio.

Sewing used to be a way to save money on clothes and home decor. But fabrics and notions became too expensive in recent decades.

Fabrictopia is an awesome fabric warehouse! The variety of formal wear fabrics for women is amazing. They also have a nice variety of home decor and automotive upholstery materials.

They are open until 5 pm daily, but closed on Sunday. Sewists and crafters, go check it out. It's locally owned by a very nice family.

It’s 68 degrees right now in San Antonio

It the perfect indoor/outdoor temp. For all the heat we endure, I’m thankful for this moment. All the windows are open, and I encourage you to do the same. Have a pleasant night everyone.

Pre-cooked Thanksgiving meals that won’t break the bank?

Any recommendations? We did Central Market a few years ago but I checked a few days ago and it’s just too expensive for the number of people we’re having over. And no, I don’t have time to cook this year so please don’t tell me to make it myself.

My budget is $1100, I usually go for units on Zillow but those usually requiere down amount as rent, and since I’m moving from another city with uhaul, moving costs etc I’d have to move to an apartment complex (since some thankfully have move in specials ), no specific area but preferably southwest area. Any recommendations help!!!! Thank you!!!

New to the city

I’m fairly new to the city and haven’t really had a chance to do stuff around here. Technically don’t live in San Antonio but on the outskirts. But I work in the city, does anyone care to make a new friend or anything here? All I do is work out and work, I know there’s a lot of things to do here just don’t know where to look in a way

I35 completely shut down at 410 for 15-20 minutes at a time

Last Sunday morning and today in the afternoon I was on I35 and it was completely stopped for 15-20 minutes near BAMC. On Sunday I was able to see that there were some sort of yellow vehicles blocking the road. About an hour after I got home I saw it again on google maps. Google maps showed that northbound traffic from I35 and 410 and southbound traffic from I35/410 were all stopped. It reminds me of when they were putting up electric lines over I35 and would have to shut down the highway for brief periods of time. However, when that happened it was all over the news. This time I haven't heard anything. Does anyone know what's going on and how long they will be doing this?

Wtf is going on?

Did we take on a whole other city? Why is traffic completely packed all day long? Honest question. Hey 90, 410, 10W, even Vance Jackson, all way more packed than usual.

Random question about a bbq place.

So I was down in SA about 4 years ago. And I'm going back on Christmas I had bbq from this place called alamo bbq co. I still dream of it and was excited to finally go back. But it says it is permanently closed and is in a different location under the name two bros bbq. Does anyone know if it's the same food/quality. Or is there somewhere else I should try?

I really liked that place and was heartbroken to see it permanently closed.

Wanting to trade L/XL Woosung tour shirt for S/M

Hello lovelies! I attended the San Antonio Woosung B4 We Die tour and bought a tour shirt in a L/XL, not realizing it was double-sized and not a single size. I was wondering if anyone wanted to trade with me for a S/M. Preferably, someone in the San Antonio area and the shirt in new condition!! If you do please post a photo of your shirt with the date and your reddit username in the comments and DM me! Ty!

This is about to get really specific. A childhood song.

So, I went to elementary school on the North East side. I had a teacher named Mrs. Alvarado. I wont name the school, I don’t want to air her job out if she’s still there. She was a music teacher who composed her own music. Popped out a tuning fork everyday and have us harmonize type music teacher. She was really cool.

She wrote this song for us to perform. She did it for multiple grade levels with many of her classes. She taught us the ASL lyrics to go with it and we performed it every year I was there.

It went along the lines of: “I am a child, I am the future of the world. And just like every boy and girl, I have a dreammmmm! and if I dream!!!”

“Soaring high above the sky, where my spirit shall take flight!”

If you have a recording of the performance or know somewhere I can find it online, or even remember what Im talking about, show me!!! lmk!

We used to have a video, but my tio recorded over it! The tape is forever lost.

Thank you!!!

What is happening on I-10

I'm on my way to work and all of a sudden there's massive bumper to bumper traffic with no warning on I-10 east. It's so slow that the side roads are moving faster. I tried to search up what is happening but nothing came up.

Whoever is in charge of planning construction for this city needs to be fired. They are awful. From not putting up detour signs so people can navigate the extremely convoluted construction especially at night. To scheduling construction during rush hour.

Needing window tinting specialist who also can come to my vehicle.

Looking to surprise my husband by re-tinting his trucks windows.

I work from home and sometimes he takes my car instead. These are the days I need to have it done! His drivers side window looks like it's got a stained glass texture to it. It HAS to go since it makes driving his truck hard.

Always, 2010 2-door ranger. Wanting the doors tinted and possibly the back window along with, if possible, the window to be recaulked? It leaks when it rains heavily.

What do guys like?

So, I'm Christmas shopping early to get it out the way. I've been to maybe 3 different Walmarts and two Targets and noticed there isn't much stuff for men. From stocking stuffers to gift ideas. Men and teenage boys to be exact.

Men: what do y'all like? I'm talking general. Not like oh I fish, get me fishing gear or whatever. The guys/boys I'm shopping for are very simple, but simple seems so hard to shop for lol

I've gotten like socks and manicure stuff previous years but there's gotta be more y'all would like to get in your stockings or as gifts 😩

For reference, they are 17 and 31 if that helps

If you live in the Rim/ La Cantera area, who do have for cell service?

I searched the group to help myself but didn’t find what I was looking for. So, please excuse me for asking as this question has been asked before.

I currently have Verizon and it works great all around SA. I am looking to move to the Rim/ La Cantera area and service is in and out.

Just wondering if anyone lives in the area, who do you have for cell service? Big part of me just doesn’t want to worry about it and keep Verizon as I can connect to WiFi at home but also wondering if it would be worth it to look at other cell providers.

Thank you.

Pappasitos Today

Have any of you visited Pappasitos today? My family and I went around 3:30 and the smell was absolutely awful. Gave us all a headache. It almost smelled like concentrated carpet cleaner, but it also smelled like the oil that everything was being fried in??
