It seems like everybody poses for pics in front of the Alamo, even the Woodsmen (who?). I would´nt be surprised if the Junior Woodchucks with Huey, Dewey and Louie showed up on an Alamo pic next... ;D Or some politicians: "Look how patriotic I am! I´m standing in front of the Alamo for a photo shoot"...  |

 (Say, doesn't that woodmen in the front row, far left, look like Ward Bond?) Or Sir Thomas Lipton. |

 Although this photo is from a 1925 history of the United States, it appears to have been taken at least pre-1911. Notice that while the photographer has tried to crop out the Hugo and Schmeltzer building, a portion of it still overlaps the facade. |

 As for the Court House/Post Office Building, there's renovation going on there, to the tune of over 30 million dollars. Now, why can't they toss a little of that money Alamo plaza way? |

 Received this mid-1960's postcard in the mail and discovered the reason for the odd point of view is that it's an ad post- card for the Menger Hotel showing how close the hotel is to the Alamo. |

I've tried to post several times and the site wouldn't let me. I've got some Alamo pics I'd like to share.
