The Pearl went from abandoned brewery to SA's best neighborhood

Hotel Emma, the farmers market, Bakery Lorraine, CIA campus. What they did with that space is genuinely impressive. Best urban redevelopment project in Texas.

Its expensive but the public spaces are free. You can enjoy the Pearl without spending money.
