Alexis Richard
Pointe San Marcos is an apartment complex on a mission. Bobcat Update's Alexis Richard tells us the Pointe got off to a rocky start three years ago but is making a comeback.
Pointe San Marcos is close to campus and attracts a lot of students, but the apartment complex started off badly. There were construction delays in the beginning and problems with the garage flooring. Also, a flooding drain had to be fixed and continues to be monitored. The Pointe has improved its office where it welcomes residents and potential tenants. The staff hosts weekly events like yoga, workout training and buffet-style meetings.
SB
Residents have many opportunities to connect with one another in hopes of creating a community outside of the university. The Pointe is a good place to spend free time and unwind.
SB
If you're looking for off-campus student housing and open to a community-style apartment, you might like to check out Pointe San Marcos, located on North Comanche Street.
SU: Pointe San Marcos is currently leasing for the fall semester. For Bobcat Update, I'm Alexis Richard.

Alison Quisenberry
Texas State students are no strangers to seeing construction projects all around them. Along with the L-B-J Student Center, Alkek Library is undergoing some major changes. Bobcat Update's Alison Quisenberry (Quiz-in-berry) has details.
The Alkek construction project may seem an inconvenience now, but the 14-point-3 million-dollar project will add some much needed upgrades to the student library. The first, second, fourth and seventh levels are all being renovated.
[SB]
The first floor will be technology central, including virtual reality and digital design centers, 3-D printers and an Omni-globe, which will be used for research to map worldwide events, simulating weather patterns and viewing ocean currents. YouStar Studios and a Creative Manufacturing Center will also be found on the first floor.
[SB]
The second floor will include a Starbucks, which will be the coffee chain's third location on campus. The fourth floor will remain home to the SLAC tutoring labs and also include a Graduate Commons. The new area for graduate students will have study spaces, a lounge area and lockers.
[SB]
Single-occupancy, gender-neutral restrooms will be found on the third and fourth floors. The Wittliff Collections on the seventh floor will be expanded to include a new entrance and larger photo exhibits, as well as the Texas Music and Lonesome Dove Galleries.

San Marcos has a new bar in town. Hops and Grain brewery opened its doors last month. Keiyah Johnson has more in this Bobcat Update.
The bar is near Texas State, which makes it a possible hangout for students and locals. And here's something unique about the Hops and Grain Brewery -- It's powered entirely by wind energy from west Texas farms. Although this method requires more money upfront, the brewery's management says the long-term benefits will outweigh the costs.
SB
The brewery will host events such as game night and happy hour specials, and board games are available while you have a cold one.

Most of the parks in the San Marcos area are very busy this time of year, but there are still plenty of spots where you can relax or be active. Bobcat Update's Raul Torres has the story:
It's spring, and more students are out floating the San Marcos River, hiking the trails or enjoying other outdoor activities.
SB......
Here are a couple of alternatives for students who enjoy recreational areas that are quieter and a little less crowded: The Spring Lake preserve is filled with small gold fish and turtles. It's along the Spring Lake hiking trail and stretches for about two miles near the San Marcos River. AND there's the Five Mile Dam Park along a beautiful stretch of the Blanco River where families come out and enjoy the scenery. This place is perfect for a hike or a swim.

The competition is fierce AND fun. Bobcat Update's Alicia Almendariz (ahl-men-dah-reez) tells us about a football league in San Marcos where the objective is to score while riding on unicycles.
Football and unicycles -- combine the two and you'll find a passionate fan base who turn out on Sunday afternoons to see their favorite teams in a showdown on asphalt. The games are held on the parking lot of the San Marcos Activity Center.
SB
The football games become something quite different because the players use unicycles to make their moves. The tasks of passing, blocking and kicking the ball become much harder while balanced on a wheel.
