Did you run into some hail this weekend? I have a solution for you that is very affordable and fast. Instead of taking your car to a shop where the process is geared to take longer and be less efficient, I recommend you call Jim Carter at Dent Pro. Jim has 20 years of experience and uses a process called paint-less dent repair. Call – 210-912-9934 to set up an appointment with Jim, He will provide you with an estimate at your first visit and in many cases he’ll have your car ready the same day you bring it in.

Perry’s is Almost Perfect

Judy Dunlap — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:34:44 +0000

You may have seen the review of Perry’s in the paper on Sunday which was for the most part a good review. For once I agree with the reviewer except I think the review should have been even more favorable, especially in the ambience category.

The fact that the waiter welcomed us back last night gives you a clue as to how many times we’ve already had the pleasure of dining at Perry’s. We have enjoyed the ambience and view so much in the bar area that we haven’t been able to talk ourselves into dining in the main dining room but fully intend to do so sometime soon.

Okay, what about the food you ask. The steaks are great, the pork chop (which should really be called a pork loin) is outstanding and the sea bass is the best I’ve had in San Antonio. The only disappointment we’ve had so far has been the creamed corn (too many breadcrumbs for our taste) and the brocollini which was under cooked.

I strongly encourage you to give them a try for a special dinner or company event or better yet join us in the bar some Sunday.

The San Antonio Express-News ran an article in early January about the “Large Road Projects Mapped”. It was written by Vianna Davila and informs us of upcoming projects areas.

It seems many of the trouble areas are being addressed. Most of these projects will extend through 2012 and 2013. The article mentions the detours and traffic. To read the article visit http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local_news/article/Major-road-projects-mapped-2439228.php

Remodeling a home is a great investment when trying to sell your home. It can also be tricky and sometimes a disaster. To help with the tedious decisions there is now an app called Home 3D. This app will keep you from running back and forth to the home store. It gives exact measurements so there is no surplus or lack of materials and lets you see what your home would look like with the changes you are planning.

Superb Steak in North Central San Antonio

Judy Dunlap — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:08:24 +0000

Tucked in a corner at Alon Center on Military Drive is a wonderful steak house called Myron’s. If the name sounds familiar it’s possible you’ve dined at their other location in New Braunfels. Never having had the opportunity to visit their other location I wasn’t sure what to expect but I must say the overall experience was very good.

Probably my best advice is to order a steak- strange advice coming from a part-time vegan! You probably think that’s obvious since it is a steak house but several of us chose to go against the grain and order fish. Unfortunately two out of three of us were disappointed with the seared ahi and sea bass. Those who ordered steak on the other hand spend the evening raving about their food! My husband had the bone in rib-eye per the waiter’s suggestion and enjoyed every bite. Two other favorites were the fresh spinach and the jalapeño mac and cheese.

Give them a try- I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

NOCC 5K

Judy Dunlap — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:22:17 +0000

We participated this November in the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition 5k run/walk at Brackenridge Park. The weather was great and the turnout was even better. The purpose of this event is the early detection of ovarian cancer through awareness. Early detection, keeping the cancer from spreading from the ovaries improves chances of survival up to 90%. More than 20,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year, and approximately 15,000 women die annually from the disease. There is currently no early detection test for ovarian cancer. Until there is a test, the key to early diagnosis is awareness of the symptoms. This year $49,000 was raised for continuing education and awareness. For a list of the symptoms visit this site http://www.ovarian.org/symptoms.php.NOCC Picture
