Created by Morogris (talk). Self-nominated at 05:46, 26 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/San Antonio–Austin metroplex; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
