“San Antonio Chili Stand” was in operation at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, which helped spread a taste for chili to other parts of the country. San Antonio was a significant tourist destination and helped Texas-style chili con carne spread throughout the South and West.

Dios y libertad! was resented by the keeper of the said tamale stand, who whooped vigorously for federal interference.

The Alamo Plaza, with its fine block pavement and splendid public buildings is becoming the most select open space in our city. The city will, no doubt in time, sod the ground in the circle and this relieve the eye of the unsightly pile of dirt. But there is needed some police regulations about the tamale stands which are still permitted to occupy the square.
