"The 134-year-old Baldinger and Sons makes hamburger buns, rolls, bagels and other items for quick-service restaurants." According to John Buckles, CEO of C.H. Guenther & Son, this "makes it a valuable addition" for the San Antonio company, which makes Pioneer baking mixes and other food products.

4. According to MovieMaker, "a quarterly magazine and website based in Los Angeles," San Antonio is one of the Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker in 2022 on their annual list. The Alamo City ranked No. 22 nationally and No. 3 in Texas on the list, which was based on various factors such as "surveys, production spending, tax incentives, additional research, and personal visits." MovieMaker editor-in-chief Tim Molloy said, "San Antonio offers a welcoming film community and timeless locations for any type of project." He added, "The countless filmmakers moving to Texas from Los Angeles and California should take a serious look at this charming, friendly, affordable city, the seventh-biggest in the country, for a vibrant and dedicated film culture and lots of opportunities to work."
