I know what you mean when you said that entering San Antonio, the Highway is separated by a grass median and its just fields, as opposed to Houston where you have a Highway with 6 or 8 lanes, on the East side a huge freeway to freeway interchange which makes you feel like your in the middle of no where after coming from Baytown, on the West you have then Katy Mills Mall, and on both ends all of these new housing developments. Houston is just sprawling while San Antonio is just content to its center like you said. Tell me if I am wrong.
