Exciting News! Tours of San Antonio's resplendent Tower Life Building have been EXTENDED until June 30th! More than 1,100 people from across South Texas have joined us to explore the building's past and future. Don't miss your chance to be one of the last few to go on this tour. Book your spot soon at AmigoSA.com!

The Experience
Beginning in Tower Life Building’s stunning lobby, tour participants will visit multiple noteworthy interior areas and floors, from the building’s original 1920s basement corridors up to its 28th floor, where views of the city have inspired awe for almost a century. …and yes, the legendary tunnel under South St. Mary’s Street is part of the experience!

Along the way, the tour explores history that has taken place during the skyscraper’s time as an icon of San Antonio’s skyline. Stepping aside from usual historic aspects of Downtown (e.g., The Battle of the Alamo and HemisFair ‘68), this tour focuses on history seldom discussed and accessible: Pre-Depression glory days of San Antonio in the 1920s, triumphs during the post-Depression era, and daily life Downtown during WWII and the Cold War. In addition, the tour will cover Tower Life Building’s architecture, original features, and industry-first construction methodology.

Cost and Charity Beneficiary
The price is $40 per participant. Centro San Antonio has been selected as the beneficiary of the tours and will receive a portion of proceeds.

Have you walked through Alamo Plaza lately? We love to point out how a small spot of spray paint represents a huge discussion and continuous saga of decisions that are ongoing. This thought-provoking Houston Chronicle article explains why proponents of Ripley’s are advocating all angles be considered before decisions are finalized. 🧐🙂

Elites should not shut down popular entertainment, even if indecorous.
