The vibe: The store near San Pedro Springs Park is a San Antonio staple year-round, but in the weeks leading up to the city's biggest party, the aisles are buzzing with people loading up on papel picado, flower crowns, medals — you name it.
I stopped by Saturday right before it poured and it was still packed. Rain or shine, Fiesta prep waits for no one.
What's next: I tend to get a head start on Fiesta, but you still have plenty of time to stock up.
Amols' is even extending its hours — open as late as 6:30pm on weekdays — to make sure everyone's ready to party by the time Fiesta kicks off on April 16.
