SAN ANTONIO — Another holiday week in San Antonio means not all services will be available, particularly on Thanksgiving.
Vital departments like police and fire will remain in operation for emergences (and in some cases keeping a closer eye on the roads), but most city offices will be closed or running on modified schedules. But if you have to return a library book, want to visit Centro de Artes at Market Square or have business with the municipal court system, you'd best get that done before Thursday.
