One of the iconic bars in downtown San Marcos might be closing. Charles Duoto has more in this Bobcat Update.

Triple Crown calls itself the live music capital of San Marcos. It has hosted live performances every day for more than 18 consecutive years. However, that may change soon. Employees of the bar have told us that its doors may close next month because the owner wants to relocate. Regular patrons aren't happy about it.

This isn't the first time the bar has been in dire straits. Last year Triple Crown was threatened with closure by a commercial development, but surprised fans by staying open. This time the situation is different. The bar owner, Allen Manning, says he wants to shut down and relocate to a larger property. Manning was unwilling to comment on camera what his exact plans are. Some fans of the local music scene say they fear that an important part of San Marcos culture will vanish if the bar moves or is closed permanently.

Triple Crown's current location is at 206 North Edward Gary Street in San Marcos. For Bobcat Update, I'm Charles Duoto.
