Take a look at the new addition to SATX’s skyline. The Floodgate is set to be completed in April 2023 and is a 17-story apartment building where every three floors will be offset (picture a Rubik’s cube) giving its residents spectacular views of the city. The modern-luxury building will also feature a fourth-floor swimming pool + fitness center. 🏙️ (San Antonio Business Journal)

Playland Pizza announced on Instagram that its last day of service will be on Thurs., June 30. The restaurant owner cited that they were asked to move as a reason for closing its doors. The good news is that the local pizza joint has plans to open a new restaurant + market at 1221 Broadway Lofts in the fall. 🍕

There may be a daily train that connects SATX to Chicago in the future. According to a recent interview with the CEO of Amtrak, William Flynn, has plans to add new services to the Texas Triangle (Think: SATX, ATX, Dallas + Houston) due to the boom in population growth. 🚂 (MySA)
Regional -
Three million Texans plan to travel during Memorial Day weekend despite a spike in gas prices. According to experts, gas prices have the potential to jump 30 percent, which would put the national average for a gallon of gas at $6+. San Antonio’s average for gas currently sits at $4.26. ⛽ (KENS5)
