When Angela Bazaldua moved to San Antonio from the Rio Grande Valley, her Southside neighbors made her feel right at home.
Angela Bazaldua moved to the South Side more than a decade ago and knew immediately it was the right place for her and her family.My journey to San Antonio began in 2009 when I made my first big career decision: to move here for a job opportunity. I was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley and, though San Antonio wasn’t too far, it felt like foreign territory to me.
And I honestly would not live anywhere else. I love the culture and strong sense of community here. I connected well with neighbors in that first apartment and later in our South Southwest home. It was amazing for a family just starting out in a new city to have the kind of support we received from our community from the beginning. One neighbor would even help put my trash can out when I would forget to do it on my way to work. Sign up to receive The Daily Reach every morning.
With so many taco stands and food trucks offering delicious food from different Latino cultures, there’s something to satisfy any craving. Plus, the famous paleteros who pass by our house every other day carry all the snacks we love, from hot Cheetos with cheese to raspas. The best part of living here, though, is seeing my children grow up with some great teachers, some great coaches, and some great friends. I also love that they get to practice a bit of their Spanish with people at restaurants or corner stores. When we first moved here, it gave me comfort to know that my children were going to grow up in a diverse educational system, with a community that is proud and full of life.
