History Project
The St. Mary's Strip History Project is working to get the strip designated as a Cultural Heritage District with the City of San Antonio. We know that the strip has long contributed to the music scene of our city and serves as a nexus for different musical genres and other creative arts, food, religion, and communities. We've also seen it change over time. Anticipating more change as new development comes in, the project wants to advocate and promote awareness of the strip's history and legacy. The city wants to see proof that this is a wanted designation from residents of Tobin Hill and patrons of the strip. If you are in support of the St. Mary's Strip becoming a Cultural Heritage District, please sign the petition here.
We've got a killer lineup for the next History Harvest.
The St. Mary's Strip History Project will be at Lonesome Rose on June 5th scanning in your flyers, ticket stubs, calendars, menus, business cards, photographs etc. of events and places on the strip to join the growing digital collection, so, BRING 'EM!
We'll have a night of live music with DAYLGHTS, Snowbyrd, and the Hickoids!!!
Doors open at 8. Get there early to get your items scanned in. Music starts at 9.
