The time has finally arrived. Back in January, while construction was moving along on the San Antonio Zoo’s savanna habitat expansion project, workers dug up a container labeled “1993.” Comments on its Facebook took turns guessing what could be inside: Old photos, maps, pamphlets, or newspaper clippings. One user even commented: “Ohh okay. I guess I’m officially older then a time capsule now.” Oof.
