One time AB Quintanilla had someone who knows me text me and ask if we could have a table setup for him at Amor Eterno- It was a busy ass Saturday at like 11:30pm and I said no and he came in anyway, looked around all sad and left. SICO, BRO- YOU AIN’T BOBBY PULIDO. 😂
500 likes and one box of unopened full size candy bars (chilled Reese’s, left in an Igloo ice chest, on my doorstep) and I’ll reopen The Spooky Box aka
@TheSqueezeboxSA
for ONE LAST PARTY on Halloween night… 👻
Friendly reminder: Drunk driving is an epidemic in San Antonio and people seemingly refuse to leave their cars in safe places or just not drive at all so please use ride share/ taxis/ or a DD this holiday so you can live to tell your glory stories.
Trying to kill a 17 year old kid for eating a burger in a damn parking lot? The officer did not identify himself as law enforcement, did not state the reason why the kid is being detained- This is disgusting and sadly I’m not surprised.
VIDEO: Body cam video shows San Antonio Police officer James Brennand fire several shots at the 17-year-old suspect, who drove off while being asked to get out of the vehicle in the parking lot of a North Side McDonald's on Sunday night.
DETAILS:
I been gatekeeping this spot for months, but the owners told me they’re hurting for biz since taking over this location- It’s actually the nephew of the owner of Pho Kim Long and fam at this new location PHO BA 9 off Walzem and it’s TOO damn good! TWITTER, DO YOUR THING!
7 years is a hell of run in this game- For everyone asking, it’s true-
@TheSqueezeboxSA
will close at the end of July. This last month of ragers will be in honor of the community who gave me some of the best years of my life. Love y’all, fr. ❤️🙏🏽
Thank you, SA. 🫡
If Twitter dies tonight, I just want everyone to know that the prolonged construction on N. St. Mary’s is a deliberate ploy by the city/ developer $ to push out local small business operators and people of color from that area.
Today is history for SA, I’m doing San Antonio shit all day- I’m starting my day with two weenies & eggs, I’m driving down Military windows down bumping freestyle, I’m starting a Cumbia circle at Handy Andy, I’m going to Market Square and starting a fight… GO SPURS GO!
Crazy that San Antonio had one of the best views in the land of the annular eclipse and also has the greatest 19 year old basketball player on planet Earth at the exact same fucking time.
Imagine being super affluent/ privileged and still being this connected to reality and using your platform to speak on issues that really matter. Thank you, Coach. 🫡
Pop used final 10 minutes of his pre-game presser to slam “cowardly, oblivious legislators” for their inaction on gun control in wake of the mass shootings that have plagued America. Their inaction, he said, has contributed to making the U.S. the “laughingstock” of the world..
Was having a lovely dinner at Thai Esan in SA last night when a man came in and said he was homeless and asked for some food- They sat him down, gave him water, packed him food, and it was a moment to see. Y’all run this up and go support them.
It’s sad that you can almost count on that type of incident that happened at Market Square last night every year with this generation of Edgar fools who think the answer to everything is to pull out a gun- Really paints a negative light on the city and our people, smh.
These comment sections love to point to the left/ right wing, but neglect to mention the main cause of failure- Predatory landlords who live off taking advantage of our excessive rent checks. SA culture is dying in real time to be replaced by big biz, welcome to Austin 2.0.

@district10perry
enters council chambers to applause from supporters as he greets the fellow council members who are about to decide whether to issue a vote of “no-confidence” on him and ask him to resign
SAPD stopping by every bar on the strip to ask if we are going to be open this weekend?… 🤔 First of all, how did you get here in this construction? Second, go fight some crime, bro- Why don’t you arrest this wind because it’s cold as shit.
Another day, another small business announces its closure just days into 2024- I’m telling y’all this shit is going to get real cookie cutter in SA real quick because the only places that will be able to withstand these rent prices/ inflation are chains… RIP SA culture.
Hibachi Express off Nogalitos will be in the James Beard award conversation this year… They gently rocked my world with this beef/ shrimp combo, a 4pc. Spring roll, and a drink for just $16 before tip. The fact that you can get this in a drive thru should be celebrated. 🫡
The face you make when you’re secretly trying to gentrify/ privatize the St. Mary’s Strip on behalf of your little Tier 1 Neighborhood bullshit, but the community who has existed for decades isn’t letting you.
So now at 9:20pm, after the town hall, more than half of the St. Mary’s Strip is having their water shut off due to a leak that construction crews created… We will lose on Saturday night revenue for my staff and biz because this council is having a tantrum.
Hey
@SheaSerrano
, 7 years ago I opened a bar called
@TheSqueezeboxSA
and unfortunately this will be our last month open. We do one of the most necio parties called “The Fajita Lounge” and tonight may be our last one there- You should be our guest of honor.
I’m 36 today, here’s what I’ve learned:
Stretch everyday, no matter what. Eat a piece of fruit everyday, no matter what. Always keep your mouth shut, and never rat on your friends… Thx for all the well wishes, friends- Hope to see y’all at 6pm
@bargimmegimme
for a toast. 👴🏽
One time during Comic Con everyone kept telling me that SpongeBob was at Squeezebox, I didn’t see him. Hours later Tom Kenny walks up to me behind the bar and says “Excuse me, is this music Cumbia?” I said yes, and he danced off into the distance-SpongeBob really was at my bar.
Tom Kenny when asked by someone on the spectrum if SpongeBob is autistic:
“Yes, of course he is! That’s his superpower, the same way it’s your superpower.”
FUCK BREAKAWAY BREWING- I’m tired of these NIMBY (transplants) harassing my friends who are just trying to operate their coffee shop and make a living. Don’t support that brewery, they obviously don’t know how to be good neighbors or run a biz.
This is the way mostly all of the people who organize and profit off Fiesta think/ act, but I’m all for calling out some blatant for profit racists and hitting em’ in the pockets. Twitter, do your thing. 🫡
I’ve been fielding interviews for two days about Sqz closing and each reporter has told me they’ve interviewed people who have told them about getting their start there like DJs, food trucks, and vendors and I am emotionally in shambles. 🥹
In today’s rendition of “How can this shit get any worse?” There is now ZERO walkway or accessibility to El Buho and the rest of that block, rendering it almost totally impossible for customers to reach these businesses. 1/2
Overdue N. St. Mary’s construction update: Today I was informed that we cannot even get our commercial trash cans emptied because the trucks cannot reach us- Also, week 2? (who even fucking knows anymore) without a sidewalk, and STILL no grant $.
UPDATE: The owner of Smoke BBQ+SKYBAR was arrested overnight for allegedly refusing to pull his BMW over and assaulting a VIA Transit police officer, records with the Bexar County Jail show.
You know it’s hard to gauge what ppl care about, but if you like that one street w/ all the bars and restaurants where ppl have been going to have fun for decades- The city and the D1 office are trying to make it so you can’t go down there at all.
People who constantly bash on SA for “not having opportunities” in comparison to other major cities need to look in the mirror and realize that maybe your attitude just fucking sucks and no one wants to work with you- All my homies here are getting it.
Food pop ups in SA will be like: “Ya, we’re gonna sell this super obscure food no one gives a shit about and ur gonna love paying $16 for it, lmao”
*no one goes*
“THIS TOWN DOESN’T CARE ABOUT REAL FOOD, BACK WHEN I WENT TO LA ONCE…”
The next 14 days in Mexican households are all about worshipping tamal culture… You got the regular pork, you got chicken, you got bean, and if you’re really lucky and Tejano as fuck, you got the ever elusive bean, cheese, and jalapeño tamales… 🫡
I take it all back, we did everything he asked for, set him up super proper to propose, I played the physical vinyl of the song he wanted to hear after he asked, I bought him a cigar to congratulate him- He tipped my staff $10... Lol I hope you guys separate in a year.
Last night is like the millionth time someone has asked me to let them propose in one my bars that they met their significant other in that they now want to marry and it still gets me stoked- THIS IS WHO WE DO THIS SHIT FOR!
I’m tired of gate keeping Chas Market & Kitchen- It’s literally the perfect date/ meeting spot. You can sit there and make Korean BBQ together on the tabletop, get a 40oz out the cooler, and get a pack of wraps and some detergent on your way out. 16/10 ⭐️
Sad to see another SA spot (Vice Versa) shutter that has given space to creatives, artists, and creators. The reality is SA Is following Austin’s footsteps in making business unobtainable to locals- High ass rent prices are the norm now, more spots will continue to close soon.
You can dislike Fiesta and still love to show up and support the hustle of every person of color who waits all year to make their $ and sell their food, merch, art, or whatever. I’m always about supporting my people, fuck cultural appropriation.
