Know My Neighborhood

Myra Arthur, David Sears talk to GMSA@9 about the latest edition of "Know My Neighborhood" set to airing Thursday at 6 p.m.

The team behind the project described it as “a deep dive into issues on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis.”

Neighbors in Westwood Square have long suspected speeding to be a problem on Castroville Road, and now they have the data to back it.

Dignowity Hill resident Vanessa Acosta said the City of San Antonio needs a long-term solution for animal overpopulation. District 2 Councilmember Jalen McKee-Rodriguez is proposing a new plan.

Its 1950s and 60s vibe permeates Shearer Hills; it's one of the first developments during San Antonio's post-war building boom. Back then, the area was considered to be outside the city limits. Yet it was created during a time of racial segregation by developer H.J. Shearer, who had a racial covenant in the deed restrictions, a common practice at the time.

This episode of Know My Neighborhood centers on Shearer Hills/Ridgeview, and its sacred places and sudden challenges.

A meeting was held Thursday night at Harlandale High School for community members to voice their opinions about the project before it's finalized.

To replace the bridge, the city is designing a four-way traffic signal to be placed at the corner of Castroville Road and Dahlgreen Ave.

Harlandale-McCollum is a neighborhood rooted in rivalry and pride in the South Side. Generations of neighbors have asked, and answered, variations of the same question: Harlandale or McCollum? Indians or Cowboys? There’s a physical divide between the two sides of this neighborhood but also an effort to unite them, especially in times of need.

As a once-rural area with a history that's gone largely undocumented, the stories of this South Side community are best told by the generations of people who came to call it home.

IDEA South Flores opened in 2013 and as it has grown, so have traffic worries from people who live in the area.

Residents report frequent issues with the drainage system, saying stagnant water and flooding have become persistent problems.

More than 30 years after they lined up across the field from each other in the Frontier Bowl, two former rivals talk about the 1989 classic. Joseph Farias was and still is a Harlandale Indian; Gabe Cisneros was and still is a McCollum Cowboy. They were from different sides of the McCollum-Harlandale neighborhood. Fate and football brought them together, along with a chance to sit and talk about those old glory days and the community they grew up in.

Throughout the Harlandale-McCollum area, there are legacy businesses that have stood the test of time. They’ve been open for decades and have molded themselves into the community. One of those businesses is B&B Smokehouse which has been a part of the community since 1958.

This episode of Know My Neighborhood looks into this special neighborhood where past and present come together with some fear about the future.

In this Know My Neighborhood wrap-up, we talk about the growth at Brooks and other areas on San Antonio’s South Side that seemed to have passed by the Harlandale-McCollum area.

People in the Alamo Ranch area told KSAT they were worried their growing community didn't have enough law enforcement to patrol it. A new Bexar County Sheriff's Office on Old Talley Road substation aims to change that.

From the food to the community's tight-knit bond, here are some of the things resident’s love about their neighborhood.

In the land of Cowboys and Indians, there is a concerted effort to bring growth to their shared neighborhood.

KSAT Anchor Steve Spriester joined GMSA@9 to discuss the latest "Know My Neighborhood", which is scheduled to air on Thursday night.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is making changes, and as part of new initiatives in 2024, Alamo Ranch families will see an increased BCSO presence.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office reported 216 vehicle burglaries across Bexar County in July of 2023. Of those, 43 were reported to be in the Alamo Ranch area.

Neighbors are leaning on an ACS pilot program pushing spay-neuter efforts to help with increasing numbers.

Dignowity Hill is a special place in the heart of the East Side of San Antonio. Locals in the area told KSAT what they like the most about the community.

Dignowity Hill is the focus of our latest episode of “Know My Neighborhood.”

Young professionals, developers and house flippers spurred an urban revival in old Dignowity Hill, and that's led to soaring property values, higher tax bills and gentrification.

Dig-NOW-ity? Dig-KNOW-ity? How you pronounce the name of the neighborhood on San Antonio's East Side?

Dignowity Hill is committed to its history but open to its evolution, according to neighbors. A unique example of that is the importance and reverence people share for The Carver, a performing arts center that was once the only library for Black San Antonians during segregation. Just blocks away, a company focused on innovation in the life sciences has become part of the neighborhood. And the latter has plans to grow even bigger roots in Dignowity Hill.

As part of the SAFFE unit — an acronym for San Antonio Fear Free Environment — Officer Carlos Gutierrez is tasked with trying to prevent crime before it happens.

People in the historic neighborhood, just east of downtown, say they feel neglected when it comes to new businesses opening in the city. They'd like more stores that sell healthy food.
