Downtown San Antonio mainstay Mi Tierra Cafe & Bakery has set up altars for visual artist Jesse Treviño and entrepreneur B.J. “Red” McCombs, both of whom left their marks on the city before their deaths earlier this month.
The vibrant memorials, located inside the 82-year-old Mexican restaurant's main lobby, feature images of the men at various points of their lives in addition to photo representations of their contributions to the Alamo City. Treviño’s altar shows an image of the artist in military garb during his time in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War — a conflict that cost him his arm and required him to learn how to paint again. Also represented are reproductions of his most famous works, includingDuring his career, Treviño became one of San Antonio's most prolific creators of public art.
Alamo City business tycoon McCombs' altar pays homage to his time as one-time owner of the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnestoa Vikings. He's credited with bringing the NBA team here, bringing the Alamo City its first — and still only — professional sports franchise. Also featured are photos of dealerships within the Red McCombs Automotive group, which the billionaire founded and grew into one of the state's largest such ventures. He used that wealth to make a variety of charitable donations across Texas.
