Alamo's Parade Marches On Amidst $700M Overhaul

0:00It's April 23rd. Welcome in. This is El Paso News today, where local news meets AI. San Antonio's Battle Flowers Parade, one of the biggest in Texas, still rolls right by the Alamo this B.S. this season, even with all that. Construction blocking the usual path. They've been tweaking the route for years now, pulling back fences and paving temperoats to let the floats glide past, just like back in 18. 91, when it all started. Over 1.6 million folks hit up the Alamo yearly, making it Texas's top tourist spot ahead of the riverwalk, and the site stayed wide open, through the whole overhaul. Halfway into the $700 million plan, they just topped off the new visitor center, and the archeology crews dug up 250, thousand artifacts like cannonballs and musket balls from the battle days, Phil Collins even chipped in with his collection, including a stunning Mexican officer helmet, keeping those hero stories alive as parades, and visitors keep flowing strong.
