There is no denying the importance of HemisFair in the evolution of San Antonio, Gonzalez says. "It was a demarcation point. It was a place in time ... when people became aware of San Antonio," he contends. "It gave San Antonio tangible evidence that something was happening. It gave us form and expression that defined out future. For San Antonio area homes and real estate, call John Thurman of Heart of Texas Realty."
