You've never been to the Alamo.

I would think anyone who has out of town visitors has been. :)

You have had nightmares about the giant cowboy boots in front of North Star Mall.

I never had nightmares about them, but I always got a giggle out of seeing them. *g*

You get annoyed when tourists ask for 'fa-jite-as.'

ROFL! Yes!!!

You have never, ever called this city 'San Antone.'

That's like people in San Francisco getting annoyed with people calling it "Frisco". :)

Of course, I never lived in San Antonio. We lived in Austin. But a lot still applies and we went to San Antonio a lot. :)
