The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edwardsaquifer.net\/intro.html\">Edwards Aquifer is fed<\/a> by runoff from rain that filters through limestone on the city&#8217;s North Side. In the 1970s, real estate developers started eyeing that area to build new homes, parking lots, and streets &#8212; the kinds of things that taint runoff with pollutants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/johntedesco.net\/blog\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get in touch with investigative reporter John Tedesco<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of us remember the PGA Village &#8212; Jaime Castillo wrote a column about how Sinkin helped collect 100,000 signatures to turn in a petition opposing the proposed resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not so many people remember how Sinkin had drummed up signatures decades earlier in a similar battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1975, real estate developer Sam Barshop sought a zoning change for a new &#8220;super mall&#8221; at U.S. 281 and Loop 1604. Sinkin showed up at City Hall with 47,000 signatures from people opposing the mall. Henry Cisneros supported the effort, at least initially, and the mall tore a rift in the San Antonio business community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many downtown business owners opposed the city&#8217;s northward growth. A Greater Chamber of Commerce committee headed by construction magnate H.B. Zachry was a major proponent of the mall and operated with a $50,000 war chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barshop filed a lawsuit and Sinkin and others eventually lost the battle. The result is <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080419084451\/http:\/\/barshop-oles.com:80\/propertydetail.php?id=9&amp;city=San%20Antonio\">Northwoods Shopping Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not many shoppers looking for deals at Marshalls are probably aware of the heated political battles that were fought over that piece of land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Environmentalist Fay Sinkin died last week at the age of 90.
