Pen Stores in San Antonio?

[Curt G]

I'm headed to San Antonio. Do any members know of pen stores in the river walk area or other places in San Antonio? Thanks!

I live in San Antonio, but I have not been to the river walk in quite some time. The sad reality is I don't know of many pen store here. In fact, I was reading here yesterday about folks going to stores where they could actually touch and see pens and I was green with envy! The only places I have been to look at (and occasionally buy) pens in town are a Paradise Pen store in the La Cantara shopping center way out from downtown on Loop 1604, the Mont Blanc Boutique in North Star Mall located on Loop 410, an interesting mom and pop office supply store on Broadway that I can't recall the name of, but it is close to my office and one odd duck Office Depot that has some fountain pens. I actually hope someone else chimes in with the location of that "secret store" I have somehow missed here in town.

 

I tend to haunt the antique stores, flea markets and estate sales which we seem to have in abundance here for the occasional "oh wow" vintage pen. It does at least keep the chase interesting.

Thank you. No pen stores, but terrific food and culture.

Oh yes! The food in particular "feeds" my other hobby, EATING!!! Unfortunately I am not exactly a marathon runner so I have to exercise restraint and battle the bulge constantly. I also have a weakness for good margaritas, ChaCha's are the best in my book!
