We know you’re busy and sometimes a daily email can feel like just a bit too much. When that little red bubble next to your mail app starts getting into triple digits, it’s time for some inbox management.
We aim to help. Starting this week, we’ll send you three emails a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It will be the same great content, events, and fun facts about the city that you’ve come to expect, just with a little more breathing room between subject lines.
You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram, where we post every day about what’s going on in San Antonio. And check out our website, which is packed with great content.
In the meantime, we’d love to hear from you about this change. Share your thoughts by taking this quick survey or sending us an email.
Editor’s pick: While I insist you check out the new La Malinche exhibit at SAMA, there is one more thing you can finally take advantage of again. Yup, I’m taking about checking out the sky bridge after dark. Head to the museum during extended hours on Tuesdays and Fridays — you won’t be disappointed.
