The Tower of the Americas isn’t as old as some of the buildings in downtown San Antonio, but as a 50-year old landmark it does have an interesting past that deserves a blog post. Hop over to Doorway Into the Past to read more.

Very interesting. Always nice to learn of landmarks from other areas of our country.

Thanks for sharing the link about the Tower of the Americas. I enjoyed learning about this landmark. I probably shouldn’t admit my ignorance, but until I read this post, I knew that there was the space needle in Seattle, but had not been aware of the Tower of the Americas.

I spent so many wonderful times up there, including a few scary ones during heavy winds. I took my friends from South Africa on their first and only trip thus far to the US, and they were suitably impressed. I love that Tower!
