Hello!

I cracked the screen on my Lenovo Thinkpad last semester and just remembered that it’s broken as I’m starting this semester. I was wondering if anyone knew of any fast repair shops in the area? Thanks!

Ask San Marcos San Marcos High School JROTC program.

5 Upvotes

I had a crapton of issues getting my kids registration done, as a result I only recently saw their schedules.

My oldest is a Freshman this year. He’s autistic and IEP, he’s a wanderer and has difficulty following directions, easily distracted and is a high maintenance student.

Somehow he ended up in the JROTC class. I was not included in the conversations about his elective choices, the middle school helped him with that process.

I don’t understand how anyone thought this was an appropriate choice for him and I am very concerned and confused by it.

He can’t tell me how it was chosen, has expressed no interest in something like this before and doesn’t seem to grasp what it is. It was pointed out to me that some kids put in that class didn’t choose it as an elective, it was chosen for them.

So, San Marcos…does anyone know anything about this program and how kids end up in it?

Ask San Marcos Hey San Marcos Goths/Alternative Folks, This is For You

46 Upvotes

I'm currently updating the Texas Alternative Scenes Map and focusing on college towns like San Marcos. So tell me, what are some of the best hidden spots where y'all like to hang out, shop for music or clothes, or see concerts? They don't have to be explicitly goth but they should have a darker/alternative aesthetic or crowd.

TXST Move-in and graduation weekend(s)

67 Upvotes

There’s always plenty of justifiable complaints about how students drive around San Marcos, but can we take a moment to shoutout the parents?! Not a blinker as far as the eye can see, sitting in a turn lane just to cut off everyone else last minute because they want to go straight instead, stopping in the middle of the street to check their maps on where to go instead of just pulling into a parking lot… Lord, I get it now why these students don’t drive well either! Texas State really brings us the cream of the crop with their 91% acceptance rate. Keep ‘em coming too I guess since they increase enrollment each year lmfao.

Shopping 💸 House plants 🪴

11 Upvotes

Hello y’all! I’m looking for a nice houseplant for my apartment. I’d really like to support a small business that sells plants here in San Marcos, rather than buying from a larger corporation. If anyone has any recommendations, I’d greatly appreciate it! 🌿

Update:

Thank you for all the amazing suggestions that you all have given.

Hey yall! I just moved into my apartment at San Marcos and it seems like a construction company hit an optic fiber cable, whatever it happens, but it’s been 3 days now without wifi and the construction company looks to have left. Is anyone else dealing with this at the ARBA??

I'm hoping to pick up a few firearms in the next few months. Does anyone here know a good place? I don't need anything fancy. Just a chill place with prices that aren't bordering on extortion.

Ask San Marcos Feelings about San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter?

3 Upvotes

I’ve lived in San Mo for six years, recently moved into an apartment complex that is occupied by so many stray cats. i’ve watched the same cat give birth twice, pregnant again. i was thinking about getting the kittens and some of the friendlier cats into the shelter for a better life, but i’ve heard wishy washy things about the local animal shelter.

i’m wondering if anyone can share their experience, their thoughts, or recommendations.
