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 desingation 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.
Our second annual Love Letters event is happening on February 27th at Jandro's Patrio Garden. This year we have The Walk Offs and the Babylonz official rockin us with Math Problema with their all vinyl curated set of punk, post-punk, disco, post-disco (you get it).
Be ready to share what you love about the St. Mary's Strip. We'll have Valentines and stationary, and your stories will be added to the love letters collection.
