In American Venice: The Epic Story of San Antonio’s River, Lewis F. Fisher uncovers the evolution of San Antonio’s beloved River Walk. He shares how San Antonians refused to give up on the vital water source that provided for them from before the city’s beginnings. In 1941 neglect, civic uprisings, and bursts of creativity culminated in the completion of a Works Projects Administration project designed by Robert H. H. Hugman.The resulting River Walk languished for years but enjoyed renewed interest during the 1968 World’s Fair, held in San Antonio, and has since become the center of the city’s cultural and historical narrative.
“The real story [of the River Walk] is a bit less Hollywood but far more interesting . . . With a growing number of cities facing issues of water supply, urban runoff, flooding, and ways of rebuilding better after a disaster, the San Antonio River Walk remains a great example of getting it right,” writes Irby Hightower, co-chair of the San Antonio River Oversight Committee.
In this updated and expanded edition of River Walk: The Epic Story of San Antonio’s River, Fisher offers more fascinating stories about the River Walk’s evolution, bringing to light new facts and sharing historical images that he has since discovered. The update includes information about the Museum and Mission Reaches, two expansions of the River Walk that are vital to San Antonio’s continued growth as the seventh largest city in the country.
Fisher starts his story with the first written records of the river, in the 1690s, and continues through the 1800s and the flood of 1921, to debates over transforming the river and its eventual role as the crown jewel of Texas, and finally to its recent expansion. More than a community attraction, the River Walk’s banks are also a giant botanical garden full of plants and trees. Indeed, the American Society for Horticulture has named the River Walk a Horticultural Landmark. As Fisher says, the River Walk “remains a work in progress, one forever precarious and unfinished yet standing before the world as a triumph of enterprise and human imagination.”

Almost perfect
Style: Screen+Charger
Solid mount. I’ve tried other ones but they don’t sit as nicely as this one. It also has a lot of adjustments to allow for using it any way you need it to so it is very versatile. The magnet strength is really good and holds my phone really well. Sometimes it feels too strong which I guess is a good thing. The charging works well but I wish the cable was a little longer

Super easy to set up
Style: Screen+Charger, Style: Screen+Charger
I couldn’t be happier with this car phone mount—it’s easily one of the best accessories I’ve added to my vehicle. The build quality feels solid and durable, with a strong grip that keeps my phone securely in place even on bumpy roads. Installation was quick and hassle-free, and it holds firmly without slipping or needing constant readjustment.
What really stands out is how easy it is to use one-handed. I can mount or remove my phone in seconds, which makes a big difference while driving. The adjustable viewing angles are perfect for navigation, and it doesn’t block my view of the road at all.

Poor socket design.
Style: Holder+Dash+Vent+Windshield
Overall this is a pretty decent phone mount. I have used it with both the windshield and vent mounts. The only problem I have is the design of the ball swivel. The socket contains a rubber piece to help increase the grip, but over time heat from the sun or the air vent makes the ball glue itself to this rubber piece. When you try to make an adjustment, the ball will not move in the socket and ends up breaking the socket. This is happened to me twice.

Great Phone Holder
Style: Holder+Dash+Vent+Windshield
I bought the version with the suction cup mount and I’m very happy with it. It holds my phone securely in place and doesn’t move around while driving. It’s also very easy to place the phone in the holder and remove it when needed. The suction cup sticks well to the dashboard, and you can position it so the phone stays in a safe, easy-to-see spot while driving. Overall, a great and reliable phone mount. Highly recommend!

Best product and customer service around!!
One of the best car mounts I've ever bought! I love the mount’s powerful magnet, which ensures your phone stays locked in place even on bumpy roads, and the strong adhesive that sticks firmly to the back of the Tesla screen and holds it steadily. Plus, their customer service is off the charts. Very helpful and responsive.
