After two decades exploring beyond San Antonio, Erin Gallegos-Reid returned to her hometown and the neighborhood where she grew up.
Erin Gallegos Reid and her husband, RJ Reid, enjoy participating in the monthly prompts written on one of the windows at Poetic Republic Coffee. The prompt for August asks, “What are you hopeful for?”The Where I Live series aims to showcase our diverse city and region by spotlighting its many vibrant neighborhoods. Each week a local resident invites us over and lets us in on what makes their neighborhood special.
I loved the tranquility of the country. I ran the hills during the pandemic each morning and evening with the new friends I made in the area. It was serene until my neighbor broke into my screened porch. She did not call, text or knock on the door — nope, she cut the screen, unlocked the door, waltzed in and unscrewed the lightbulb that bothered her.That and the traffic crawling into town put me back in the house hunt. I wanted to be closer to my family and inside Loop 1604.
. Dylan and Marcella, the morning baristas, know RJ’s order, while I am ready to try any new flavor. Success! You're on the list. Erin Gallegos Reid places her sticky note response to the question of the month on the window at Poetic Republic Coffee.We love the myriad parks in and around our neighborhood. I have walked Bode Park with my Aunt Rachel since I was a child when it was called Highland Park. Nowadays, my mom and Aunt DD join us. Rachel rescues stray dogs. Sometimes I help, but mostly I try to talk her out of it for fear of getting bitten. But she always wins. Well, the dogs do because she finds them a home.
After dinner, we walk the trails along the River Walk near Mission San Jose. We have discovered a part of the San Antonio River that reminds him of Minnesota. Some nights we follow that with dinner at Nicha’s Comida Mexicana or the Little Red Barn.
