  • San Antonio Stories - Floores Country Store - Salem Media Group
    Feb 9 2019

    Floore’s Country Store on Old Bandera Road didn’t stay a store very long after the legendary dance hall and cafe opened in 1942.  Another San Antonio Story after this.

    Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and Elvis Presley all played Floores Country Store back in the day as it’s also known as the musical birthplace of Willie Nelson.  John T. Floore had experience in booking musical greats from his previous job as the manager of the Majestic Theatre. John T. Floore passed in 1975...and the dance Floore is still open.  I’m Sonny Melendrez.

  • San Antonio Stories - MLK Drive - Salem Media Group
    Feb 9 2019

    On the East Side of San Antonio several streets running east to west are named after northern states...like Wyoming, Iowa, Dakota and Montana but one changed...another San Antonio Story after this.

    San Antonio proves it year after year. It’s the largest march in the United States with over 300,000 people faithfully progressing in peace on MLK Day down a street formerly known as Nebraska that was honorably renamed in 1975 to Martin Luther King Drive.   I’m Sonny Melendrez.
