As springtime draws closer, San Marcos is seeing its vibrant colors return. Bobcat Update's John Gonzales has been out and about to explore what makes the city unique.
When you think of San Marcos, what comes to mind? Is it the university and all of the students, or is it the notorious downtown square with all of its bars, shops and local eats? Or, better yet, is it the cool flow of the San Marcos River through Sewell Park? These are characteristics of an active, lively city, nestled between two neighboring giants -- Austin and San Antonio. San Marcos has its own identity. It stands apart because of its people.
SB:
Local businesses also make a big difference in San Marcos. The city is home to thousands of college students who want their coffee, their study breaks, their music and much more.
SB:
If you are more of an outdoors person, the city has you covered. The scenery in and near the city is absolutely gorgeous. This is Hill Country where you can go to Purgatory Park off Wonder World Drive with its miles of trails and jaw dropping views. If you love the water, there's Rio Vista dam with three miniature waterfalls, and, of course, the famous Sewell Park and the San Marcos River.
SB:
There are so many things that make the city special, so next time you find yourself bored on the couch go out and explore what this wonderful city has to offer. For Bobcat Update I'm John Gonzales.

The Saturday Farmers' Market attracted a sizable crowd this past weekend in San Marcos, despite the cloudy weather. In this Bobcat Update, Bennett Rodriguez tells us the market featured a lot of locally-grown vegetables and much more.

Farmers sell their goods and local artists have a place to feature their work as well. The local sellers who participate feel very strongly about their product lines and want to bring awareness to the Farmers Market. They want more people to understand the importance of locally-grown produce.

A new vintage store is coming to San Marcos. As Christina Noriega tells us in this Bobcat Update, vintage stores are helpful to students who need to make some easy money.
Uptown Cheapskate is not your average thrift store. The store buys clothes, and it offers current and trendy styles. Shoppers can find men's and women's clothing, handbags, shoes, hats and all kinds of accessories. Vendors receive up to 30 percent of the retail price that they charge, OR they can have store credit saved onto their phone numbers, which they can use to shop at the store later. With more than 50 locations, the owner is excited that a shop is opening in San Marcos.
SB
With a large inventory, the store is offering a V-I-P ticket to people -- who sell their clothes -- to shop the night before the grand opening.

Mary Diegel
Alkek Library -- the home of SLAC, Wittliff, late-night cram sessions and those infamous stairs -- offers a wide variety of resources that can help students throughout their college careers. Mary Diegel has the story.
Although Alkek is known as the powerhouse for studying at Texas State, it has much more to provide than cubicles and books. Alkek's website describes many tools that students can use to make their college experience better. There are guides, library loans, and streaming tutorials. Students can learn new crafts or hone existing skills. Texas State Library Marketing and Promotions Coordinator, Debbie Pitts, says many students aren't aware of the many assets Alkek has. For example: the subject librarian.
SB
Alkek continues to expand its resources to accommodate the university's students, faculty and staff. The library even has an area for mothers with newborns, and it has studios for video and audio production with a new project called YouStar. Library administrators say the goal is to enhance the learning environment for students.

Being served a warrant sounds like something out of a TV show or a movie -- but that's not what this round-up is about.

Seaholm says people with outstanding fines or warrants can go to the Hays County Government Center during business hours to clear things up. You won't be arrested for showing up.
