San Antonio Apartment Living: September 2018
Welcome to this month’s edition of San Antonio Apartment Living, brought to you by Hunter’s Glen, our apartments for rent in San Antonio, TX. This month we’re bringing our residents ideas for celebrating national holidays, enjoying movies coming to theaters, and making the most of the month in other ways. Read on to learn more about these topics in today’s blog post.
Movie Suggestions

September Holidays
Checkers Day — September 23rd
Checkers Day is not about the classic board game. It “commemorates the famous ‘checkers’ speech made by Richard M. Nixon in 1952 after he received an adorable Cocker Spaniel as he sought election in 1952.” On this day, we celebrate dogs in politics. Whatever your party affiliation, many of us will agree that dogs can bring a smile to anyone’s day. Celebrate with us by posting on social media with the hashtag: #NationalCheckersDay or #DogsInPoliticsDay.
Confucius Day — September 29th
On September 29th, take time to celebrate Confucius Day by opening a fortune cookie. Here is one of our favorite nearby places to find great Chinese food:
Royal Inn Oriental Cuisine is a nearby eatery with delicious Chinese options. Sink your teeth into noodles with shrimp and chicken, dip your spoon into a sweet and savory bowl of hot and sour soup, or choose something else from their extensive menu. Located just 6 minutes from our apartments.

National Honey Month
Did you know that September is National Honey Month? We’re probably just as surprised as you are! To celebrate, learn more about our local beekeepers. The Honey Tree Beekeeping Service of San Antonio is a provider of locally harvested 100% raw honey that is absolutely delicious. Learn more about them by visiting their website or by clicking the link above:
“We have a small orchard, and after getting a single deep body hive last spring for pollination, we discovered the true value of having a beehive just outside. We have spent hours watching our bees, busy at work collecting pollen & raising their young. Then came the bee pest, wax moths, small hive beetles & varroa mites. After extensive research… we solved our pest problem and we are excited to share the joy of having bees.”

Ignite the Stars by Maura Milan
“Everyone in the universe knows his name. Everyone in the universe fears him. But no one realizes that notorious outlaw Ia Cocha is a seventeen-year-old girl.
“A criminal mastermind and unrivaled pilot, Ia has spent her life terrorizing the Olympus Commonwealth, the imperialist nation that destroyed her home. When the Commonwealth captures her and her true identity is exposed, they see Ia’s age and talent as an opportunity: by forcing her to serve them, they will prove that no one is beyond their control.
“Soon, Ia is trapped at the Commonwealth’s military academy, desperately plotting her escape. But new acquaintances—including Brinn, a seemingly average student with a closely-held secret, and their charming Flight Master, Knives—cause Ia to question her own alliances. Can she find a way to escape the Commonwealth’s clutches before these bonds deepen?
“In this exhilarating edge-of-your-seat sci-fi adventure—perfect for fans of The Lunar Chronicles—debut author Maura Milan introduces our world to a thrilling new heroine.”
