Barbacoa + Big Red = 210 | Graphic by 6am City team
Earlier this month in our newsletter we asked our readers and Instagram followers “If San Antonio was a bumper sticker, what would it say?” After combing through your submissions, we took it a step further and had our graphic design team create chaotic bumper stickers to showcase your SATX pride.

Drum roll please... this is what our readers submitted:

“Barbacoa + Big Red = 210" | The delicious Sunday morning meal is a true San Antonio staple.

"¡Viva SA!” | Simple, classic, straight to the point, and honors our city’s heritage.

“I BRAKE FOR BRKFST TCS” | What more do you need? Even Pedro Pascal agrees.

“Welcome to the City of POOR TRAFFIC PLANNING” | Have you seen the new La Cantera exit?

From the editor
Can you believe we’re about to be in September? I’m so ready for the cooler temperatures, pumpkin patches and all of the fall-themed festivities. I’m hoping to take more creative photos this season so I can print and save the pictures in my little photo book.
