‘Tootsie’ to open Tuesday at Bass Concert Hall

When people think of the movie “Tootsie,” they recall an uncomfortable Dustin Hoffman in a spangly red sequin dress. The movie, which appeared in theaters in 1982, was built around counterpoints: social commentary with farce, seriousness with absurdity, while at the same time making some important observations about sexism.

Supertunia Mini Vista petunias have won over 160 awards and have the ability to excel in containers and as a colorful landscape groundcover, too.

The awards keep coming for Supertunia Mini Vista Petunias

The awards just keep coming. When I last wrote about the Supertunia Mini Vista Indigo, it was in 2020 and it was making its debut. It had already won 24 awards in trials, even though it was just arriving to the public. Now the awards are three dozen and, in fact, the Supertunia Mini Vista series now totals over 160. How can this be for a petunia with the word mini in its name?

Market Milestone

Creators and patrons gather at the Hays County Courthouse lawn in Downtown San Marcos for Art Squared Arts Market in Spring 2020 in San Marcos, Texas.

Market Milestone: Art Squared celebrates 10th anniversary

Art Squared has become a popular activity amongst San Marcans, as it is the largest art market in the area, located in the heart of Downtown San Marcos. From its humble beginnings in 2012 as ‘Art Unhitched,’ Art Squared has become an important part of over 40 artists’ businesses nearly every month. Kathryn Welch, the current Market Director of Art Squared, has been involved since 2015 and has seen firsthand how this art market has transformed from a weekend activity to a San Marcos institution.
