Today is Gilbert Torres' last day working at the San Marcos Daily Record after nearly 47 years with the newspaper. Torres is retiring from a career that has seen nearly every aspect of newspaper production change from the days of developing film in darkrooms to the digital age. But while the technology evolved, one thing never did — his dedication to the paper and the people it served.

The public is invited to stop by the San Marcos Daily Record office today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to wish Torres well or feel free to share a message here if you so choose.

Buc-ee’s, the Texas-based travel center chain known for its sprawling stores and clean restrooms, broke ground Wednesday on a new location in San Marcos that is set to become one of the largest in the state.

The new Buc-ees will be situated at the southwest corner of Yarrington Road and Interstate 35, providing a major stop for travelers along the busy corridor.

“San Marcos has long been home to some very special characters,” Mayor Jane Hughson said during the ceremony. “We’re home to rattlers, bobcats, mermaids, and in years past, even a swimming pig named Ralph. Today, we celebrate the newest addition — the beaver.”
