Curious about what it's like to live in San Antonio? Check out these local tweets to get the scoop on #SATX!
We've all seen viral lists about how #NYC's crowded streets and #LA's breezy vibes...but what does the Internet have to say about #SATX?
We hopped on Twitter to find the answer!
From cinnamon rolls to hikes to jazz clubs, here are 30 tweets from businesses and residents that prove The Alamo City is a great place to live.
1. We wouldn't dare start a list about San Antonio's twitter habits without first and foremost making way for the @SanAntonioSpurs. Born and bred in #satx, the Spurs are more than a team. They're family.
Squad is here. Time for some basketball!

2. We sure aren't mad about living close to @BakeryLorraine! Famous for their colorful (and tasty) French macarons, Lorraine also bakes plenty of other tasty treats in-house. Stop in for a pop tart, sticky bun, or cookie.
Honored to have been named as one of the 21 Best Bakeries in America by Thrillist!
