Comments on: Ron White, UT, and the Future of the San Marcos Economy http://bobcatfans.com/archives/515 Texas State University News and Forum Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:59:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Rusty Rex http://bobcatfans.com/archives/515/comment-page-1#comment-68 Rusty Rex Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:26:00 +0000 http://bobcatfans.com/?p=515#comment-68 Great article. It always makes me sick looking at San Marcos and looking where its headed. I keep thinking someone there will step up and lead the city in the right direction.. but it never happens. They are just content to be a retail dump or get gobbled up by greater-Austin instead of making a name for itself. To Vince, It would actually be better if they wanted to be a sleepy little town, but they dont. Be either a sleepy little town or be a cutting edge intelligent workforce town. But they dont want either i guess they would rather be a commercialized tourist trap turned Austin subdivision. ~But what will they call it when it's leveled and paved~ (with strip malls and chilis instead of corporate offices and research facilities) Great article.

As far as these people are concerned, they would rather turn San Marcos into a sleepy little town. I hate to say it, but it is a fact. All I have to do is point to the San Marcos convention center and how it was handled, the AMD microchip plant that SM was bidding on and how that was handled and the general town and gown relationship between TxSt and San Marcos to prove my case.
