I moved to Texas in 2005 when assigned to Lackland Air Force Base as a trauma nurse at Wilford Hall Medical Center (when it was still an active trauma center). I loved Texas so much that I made it my home.
My first home in Texas was in a subdivision in the Stone Oak area of San Antonio. At that time, it was a peaceful place to live, pre-281 expansion, and without much density. I have experienced growth more than once since moving to Texas.
As a community member, I recall the shock when an entire hillside off US-281 was clear-cut to build a shopping center and homes. This act angered the community and me but was permitted due to a grandfather clause.
