Some people formed an organization called the San Antonio Stockyards Historical Society. Apparently its main purpose is to create a Stockyard District like what is in Fort Worth and turn it into a major tourist attraction. So far so good, most of the SA Stockyard site is still intact, although converted to industrial purposes, but it could be turned into some type of Old West cowboy type place. But no, that's not their plan. Instead they propose converting one of two other properties, either the Friedrich complex on E Commerce, or the Scobey complex, next to VIA Centro Plaza. Their plans are... far-fetched I think describes them. Part of the Friedrich plan involves planting an eighteen-foot wide grassy strip down the middle of E Commerce so they can do daily "cattle drives".
