Pearl For My Kids

Videotaping some of my old San Antonio haunts for my kids. This tour is of a 100+ year-old brewery where I used to work and of the abandoned warehouse across the street where I lived. Referenced poem is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDiUFR9Ckyk

A lot of it is not there any more. The warehouse is gone. The Judge Roy Bean replica Jersey Lilly shop appears to be gone. Looks like the trolley cars are gone. The main building looks gutted.
