Vanilla Ice? He's from Dallas and grew up in Florida. Sheryl Crow is from Missouri. The closest she had to do with San Antonio,other than maybe a concert,is some 60 miles northeast of it in Austin where Lance Armstrong lives. But they've since broken up. And Shaq was an army brat and only lived in San Antonio during his high school years; he tries to claim it as his hometown, but the city rejects him.
Tommy Lee Jones is the only one you listed that lives, part-time anyway, in the San Antonio area. He's originally from San Saba Texas, about 140 miles north of San Antonio.
Carol Burnett,Joan Crawford,Henry Thomas (from ET), director Robert Rodriguez,Jesse Borrego (Fame) and Bruce McGill (D-Day from Animal House) are just a few from San Antonio.

Vanilla Ice went to Clark High School at one point. I could be wrong about Sheryl Crow, though. My mother may have lied or misremembered when she said Sheryl Crow lived at the (now defunct) Turtle Creek apartments, which were located in San Antonio.
Forgot about Carol Burnett and the others I didn't know.

I lived in San Antonio several years ago, and went out to some tracks where ghost kids push your car over them. I was thinking it was out by some of the missions, but it's been so long I can't remember. I figure it is a pretty common urban legend so it has probably been told in numerous cities all over the U.S. I doubt it ever happened in any of them. If so, I'd need some proof.

HotGayMan [hehe..], you are right ..this urban legend is told everywhere. Some say its based off of some town where a bucnh of kids died in a school bus, and others say its based off of a town that has a hill that you creep UP when you car is in neutral. It's everywhere ..just like how the Devil seems to hang around in a lot of woods in the US [i.e. The Devil's Trampling Ground in North Carolina ..we have a place like that in PA. Satan gets around.]
