In the early 60’s the Westside community of the city San Antonio received at there homes a free publication called the Westside Sun.  The Westside Sun has been discontinued for about 10 years. A big void was left in the Westside and its citizens were left without a newspaper they could call their own.  In January of 2003 the Westside Sol was born with the intent of providing a publication to the citizens of the Westside of the city of San Antonio.  With over 99% percent of its citizens of Hispanic origin, we wanted to support all of the businesses and especially churches and non-profit organizations with the opportunity to promote their events and services.  The Westside Sol has taken off and many businesses within a 20 zip code area have taken advantage of the great rates and opportunity to attract consumers from these areas.  The Westside Sol area of influence starts in Downtown San Antonio and extends past S.W. Military Drive in the South to 1604 in the West and North Star Mall in the north and everything in between.  The birth of the Westside Sol was engineered by Joe Aguilar, owner & Publisher.  Joe Aguilar is a 1979 graduate of Sidney Lanier High School.  He also attended both San Antonio College and North Texas State University with a degree in Radio Television and Film. Joe Aguilar was born and raised in the Westside of San Antonio and still resides in the community.  With over 20 years experience in the advertising and marketing fields, the Westside Sol staff has expanded its services to include Printing, Television, Promotional Products and professional graphic design.  Please contact our offices for any questions at 210-354-4765.
