Ray Khovasain screams in a car cruising and honking horns on Commerce Street after a Spurs victory. San Antonio\u2019s honking tradition existed long before Spurs wins, a reader says.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fair for our politicians to seek to recover some of the costs related to climate-driven disasters from the oil and gas industry, but leaders like U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz keep giving it a pass, a reader says.<\/p>\n

Re: \u201cSpurs fans embrace rowdy \u2018Let\u2019s Go Honking\u2019 tradition,\u201d<\/a> Metro, April 19:<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n I enjoyed Melissa Renteria\u2019s article about Spurs fans’ honking tradition in San Antonio.<\/p>\n However, the article makes it sound like it\u2019s only for Spurs games. I was introduced to the honking tradition in 1963 after when I went with friends to the annual\u00a0Chili Bowl game between Fox Tech and Sidney\u00a0Lanier high schools at Alamo Stadium.<\/p>\n This game usually drew more than 20,000 fans.<\/p>\n The traffic on West Commerce Street was bumper-to-bumper. Then everyone would go to their neighborhood hamburger joint to continue the celebration.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n In our case, I believe it was Roger\u2019s at the corner of San Pedro and Elmira. For the Lanier fans, it was Paul Marie\u2019s or the Malt House on Zarzamora.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t stay silent<\/p>\n
