This edition's conversation starters.
Fifteen posts that map the blog's range: a monthly market snapshot, the weekly date-night picks (the Dodging Duck on Cibolo Creek, Cypress Grille on Main Street, Albi's Vite in Leon Springs, La Cascada at Tapatio Springs, and now Botero Tapas + Wine Bar on Boerne's Hill Country Mile), two monthly business-openings roundups, the first Coffee Shop of the Month pick (Selah Café Coffee + Market on Boerne's Main Street), two community comparisons, a corridor-living story, a weekend itinerary, a seller's question, and a development update. Each one links to the guides and community profiles that carry the detail.

Our Scope
Eight things this blog writes about, and nothing else.
The blog stays inside the corridor between the Loop 1604 interchange at Leon Springs and Boerne. It does not cover general San Antonio market updates, military relocation, listings, or areas east of the interchange; those belong on TamiPrice.com and MovingToJointBaseSanAntonio.com. The one exception is the corridor's own monthly market snapshot, which stays ZIP-level and corridor-only. When a topic already has a guide on this site, the blog links to the guide instead of rewriting it.
If a topic matches something that already exists here, you will find the existing page linked, not a duplicate. That is how the reference stays useful and the archive stays honest.
Corridor living
Parks, trails, the Hill Country Mile, seasonal activities, and weekend ideas that make life along the corridor feel like life in the Hill Country.
Community comparisons
Honest, useful comparisons between the corridor communities: gated and ungated, new and settled, Bexar County and Kendall County.
Development news, explained
Road and housing projects that affect corridor residents, published only with sources and a verification date. No rumors, ever.
Buying and selling
Practical guidance for buyers and sellers, from comparing new construction to resale to pricing a home in a community still mid-build.
New business openings
A monthly welcome to the shops, restaurants, cafes, and services opening along the corridor, each entry verified from the business itself or a named local source.
Monthly market snapshot
The corridor’s own home-sales numbers each month: median sale price, days on market, and active inventory for Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, and Leon Springs, every figure sourced and dated.
Date night picks
A weekly feature on one standout restaurant, wine bar, or evening out along the corridor, researched live from the venue and local sources, and never repeated within three months.
Coffee Shop of the Month
A monthly feature on one independently owned coffee shop along the corridor: the signature drink, the atmosphere, the honest read on working or meeting, and verified hours, each detail checked against the shop and named local sources.
Editorial Standards
How posts get verified before they run.
Posts are drafted only from approved topics, and every local business, event, date, and hour is checked against a current source before a word is published. No business or event is described from memory. Development facts follow the same status discipline as the growth index: Confirmed, Approved, Under Construction, Proposed, or Planned, each with a source and a verification date. Posts are dated and reopened for review, so when something changes, the post changes with it.
01
Topic proposed and approved before drafting.
02
Facts verified against current, named sources.
03
Post reviewed, dated, and linked to the guides.
Advisory
Have a corridor question the blog should answer?
The blog covers what residents actually ask about: a community comparison, a development update, a weekend plan, or a buying and selling question. Tami Price's two decades along the corridor are the research desk behind it, and a consultation is the direct way to get your specific question answered.
