Key takeaway The business, located in the 1300 block of Basse Road, near Blanco Road, opened a few months ago.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
The arrival of this late-night gaming room on Basse Road has brought a new set of challenges to the North Side neighborhood, where residents have long valued their quiet and safe community. With nearly 50 calls for service since February, the San Antonio Police Department is likely to face increased demands on its resources in this area. The presence of underage drinking, drug use, and shootings is particularly concerning, given the proximity of the business to residential homes and the potential impact on neighborhood children. As the city continues to grow and evolve, it's crucial for local leaders to balance the needs of businesses with the concerns of long-time residents, who are invested in maintaining the character and safety of their community. The fact that Haby Kinder LLC, a San Antonio real estate company, owns the building may provide a starting point for residents to seek solutions and address their concerns about the gaming room's operations.
