San Antonio mainstay Mi Tierra installs memorial altars for ‘Red' McCombs, Jesse Treviño

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.
