News Notes

Plan Ahead

Sunday, Dec. 1 is Secondhand Sunday. Created by secondhand marketplace seller Poshmark, the day encourages shoppers to purchase pre-owned items for gifting like records, clothing, jewelry, and home decor. In case you need vintage store inspo, we have the perfect guide for you.

Art

A banana duct-taped to a wall sold for $6.2 million this month. We’re not art critics, but we’re pretty sure you don’t need to pay that much to see good art around San Antonio. (Smithsonian Magazine)

Civic

There will be at least 61 women serving in the Texas Legislature — up by 5 people compared to 2024. They will be part of the 2,450 women in state legislatures nationwide (or ~33%), setting a new record. (AP News)

Real Estate

Our state is full of young and rich people — and we’re not just complimenting you. According to this study, Texas is the No. 2 state where the young and wealthy move. But how difficult is it for them to buy a home in San Antonio? (Stacker)

Cause

Have you been eyeing our guide to 20+ volunteer opportunities in San Antonio? You’re not alone. According to a new study by AmeriCorps, formal volunteering and informal helping (think: helping your neighbor rake the leaves) are on the rise again after dipping in 2021 due to COVID-19.
