I believe very strongly that the CUP granted to the proposed Gumby’s location on West Hopkins Street should be repealed. The following reasons explain my stance:

The five suspects fled in all directions when police pulled up to the San Marcos pharmacy they’d just broken into early Friday morning.
Three hours later, they were all in custody — the result of a massive pre-dawn search through sleeping neighborhoods, across the interstate and into at least one open field that involved San Marcos Police from two different shifts, the Texas State UPD and the San Marcos Fire Department.

Bonds, booze and being able to rent your home to vacationers are all topics on the agenda for Tuesday’s, likely very long, city council meeting.
The council is set to call for a May bond election. On Tuesday, the council will finalize the ballot language, set polling places and times and finalize other details. For now, the plan calls for two propositions, one dealing with public safety, the other a library expansion. Together the two bonds proposals total about $32 million.
SAN ANTONIO — The Center for Biological Diversity today announced the addition of another $5,000 to the reward for information leading to a conviction or fine in the disappearance of hundreds of endangered salamanders from a San Marcos breeding facility, bringing the total reward offered to $20,000.
The Andrew Sabin Family Foundation, which funds amphibian conservation among other things, donated the additional $5,000 for the reward.

Love is the air in San Marcos, and residents and visitors can now send their love from one of the most romantic spots in the United States.
Last Valentine’s Day, the city’s downtown was named as one of the most romantic downtowns in America by Main Street America. This year the city’s Main Street office is celebrating by helping people spread the love from one of the most romantic destinations in our love-filled downtown, Kissing Alley.

Both Jesus Hernandez and Luis Trejo moved to the United States during their 9th grade school year and entered San Marcos High School through the Newcomer program. Now less than four years later, to say they have adjusted would be an understatement, for both young men have earned places in the top 10 percent of the 2017 graduating class of San Marcos High School.
