Supporters of Moses Rose's Hideout rally against op-ed by San Antonio Report’s Bob Rivard

The war over Moses Rose's Hideout, the downtown bar whose property the city and state want to use for the $150 million Alamo Visitor's Center, has spread online. Supporters of the embattled business are voicing outrage on Facebook over a weekend editorial by Bob Rivard, founder of online news site the San Antonio Report, on the city's recent move to invoke eminent domain to force a sale. Rivard — a one-time executive editor at the Express-News — said he opposes the city's use of eminent domain "at this juncture," adding that the state and the city should make a final, good-faith offer to buy out Moses Rose's.
