News Notes

Arts

Looking to collect local art, but not keen on transporting huge canvases or statues? San Antonio artists are creating one-of-a-kind prints, like Ricky Armendariz’s “May You Stay Joven Para Siempre” and Manola & Maria’s “La Escaramuza.” (San Antonio Current)

History

Life, uh, finds a way. Give the Ancient Earth Globe a spin to see what dinosaurs roamed in your neighborhood — or swam, since San Antonio was underwater until about 66 million years ago. Meet the mosasaurus and brachauchenius.

The Wrap

Today’s edition by:
Nicholas

From the editor

Are y’all full from that Thanksgiving dinner? I had two dinners to partake in, my mom makes the best green bean casserole, and my boyfriend’s mom makes a delectable serving of scalloped potatoes. We will be having leftovers this weekend, so if you have creative leftover recipes feel free to send it our way.
