Places defined by a large body of water, like San Antonio which is cut by a prominent river, often draw all sorts of paranormal activity. Once, a local ghost tour guide told me that bodies of water are energetically powerful. You may not think twice about it, but the biannual river drain is a significant San Antonio event. I thought it would be the perfect time to have a solitary downtown margarita with chips at a place like Mad Dogs or The River's Edge, though I didn't stop.

It's a novel experience to witness the River Walk in a gutted state, especially when we are so used to experiencing it as a crowded tourist center. Or at least, this is the effect it had on me. During the filtration process, when for a short while the river is not quite the river and before it becomes the river again, it seems to beckon - to everyone who dares to peer down at its shallow nastiness - for a little introspective. The River Walk becomes a strange liminal space during the drain - a temporary zone in-between the post-card perfect San Antonio of legend and something cleaner. Or the commercially transitional outpost that is the Wonderland of the America's Mall, filled with anime stores, offices, and a vacant food court, no doubt has the same energy. The eye of storm can be liminal, and so can a Megabus hurtling from Austin to San Antonio. Introducing the 'Texas Star', the new official state fungi Inside the puro taqueria made famous by San Antonio author Shea Serrano The ‘Edgar’ haircut San Antonio makes fun of might be rooted in indigenous culture Colloquially a liminal space is characterized by anything ambiguous or in-between, usually with the ability to transform the occupant that dwells within it. The Britney Spears song "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" sums up this concept pretty well. It's a term used to identify the ambiguous and sometimes disorienting period during a rite of passage. It brings to mind the idea of liminality, which comes from anthropologist Arnold van Gennep. This is partially because of the lack of crowds, but also because of the interesting transitional energy in the air. Contrary to common view, I found that this window is actually the best time to visit the River Walk.
Each time the ritual is carried out, a variety of trash, treasure, and invasive species is uncovered in the process. Every two years, the commercial stretch of the river is filtered, ridding it of all the sins of the past 24 months.
