Welcome to the Friday’s Food for Thought post from got geoint? As we are 23 days from kicking off GEOINT 2011, we thought an ideal topic to explore in this week’s FFFT post is the great city of San Antonio. From its storied history to the River Walk, San Antonio has plenty to offer. But fret not, this post is not a commercial for the city.
