There's a difference between knowing, and being "in the know". The difference is found in the loop...

SAMETRO is San Antonio's gateway around the loop and beyond. Encompassing the River City's life, passion and creativity, SAMETRO gives readers an opportunity to dig deeper than a three-line ad or impersonal guide.

Created in 2002 as an e-newsletter called B1604 by The MightyGroup, SAMETRO was introduced as a resource for tourists and new residents who were bewildered by the lack of personalized and specific information available about SA. Delivering San Antonio culture and events directly to individuals, the e-newsletter quickly grew in popularity and in 2004 expanded to the full web site we have today.

Now you can visit SAMETRO and receive San Antonio's culture amplified. Weeding out the mundane, SAMETRO publishes releases, articles and event listings that span a broad range of subjects such as Art, Theatre, Dance, Sports, Food, Fashion, Screen, Education, and more. Check out editorials by talented hometown writers in our Guest section, or listen to streaming lounge music on Soulsip.

Too busy to frequent the site? Then sign up for B1604 the original free e-newsletter and receive a snapshot of San Antonio events and related material right in your email. You have the opportunity to select only the info you wish to receive. {Be sure to respond to the confirmation email that you will receive.} Thousands of San Antonians have discovered it already. Explore the loop and beyond!
