I took my boys to the Alamo last Summer. I was absolutely disgusted by the amount of homeless scum surrounding it and begging tourists for money.

Sorry to hear that.
I was there in 2005, before any of that. There were a lot of tourists but a lot of good feeling. I had to apply to The Alamo Office of protocol for permission to play my Highland Pipes in full kilt and plaid, wearing my dirk, and they freely gave it.
My experience was wonderful, and I had wanted to visit the Alamo since I was 6 years old, a lifetime dream fulfilled.
I made my mark to stand with the ghosts who are there still defending freedom and liberty.I will never forget their sacrifice. My tears fell like rain to see the bullet holes chipped into the walls on the inside of the Alamo rooms.

Agreed. I returned to the Alamo last month for the first time in over 10 years. It is appalling to see how it has been changed from a simple but genuine shrine to patriotic reverence into a cheap commercial tourist trap.
