Lone Star Remodeling And Renovations

La Villita, located on the southern bank of the San Antonio river, was the first neighborhood in San Antonio. It was originally a settlement for the Spanish soldiers stationed at the Mission San Antonio Valero, also known as the Alamo. Now it is an art community that includes shops, plazas and restaurants. La Villita is also home to San Antonio’s four-night festival celebrated every April, “A Night In Old San Antonio” (NIOSA).

Because of the historical value, the San Antonio Conservation Society recently has allocated 1.8 million dollars to restore the five-acre village. Eight of the historic buildings will get a face lift along with upgrades to two of the large plazas. The project is scheduled to be completed in the second week of April this year.

Hopefully, these upgrades will attract more tourists and will ensure that La Villita will remain an important part of the San Antonio community. While it will still host the popular “A Night In Old San Antonio”, the area is sure to be anything but old.
