San Antonio isn't afraid to reinvent itself, and that extends to its nicknames. Here's a whirlwind tour of the contenders:

- The River City: San Antonio's got a love affair with the San Antonio River. It winds through the heart of the city, perfect for a lazy afternoon cruise or a kayak adventure (just watch out for those fiesta-enthusiastic ducks!).
Wait, there's more! San Antonio even trademarked "Military City, U.S.A." in 2017. Seems like they take their rich military history pretty seriously.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
