San Marcos is hardly any closer to Awstunz, than to San Antonio, and it's often slower between San Marcos and Awstunz, actually driving. Must be written by a yankee. San Antonio is also bigger and more important.

Or maybe someone from Florida or Oregon for that matter. Texans seem to be the only people who care that much about Texan geography. Texas doesn't get the appreciation it deserves.

All I know is, as a Hays County resident, with San Marcos as my county seat, "going to the city" means San Antonio, more often than not. I'm nominally closer to Austin, but it's a lesser destination for most things.

Are you serious? San Marcos is a lot closer to Austin, the same way New Braunfels is closer to San Antonio.

If you want to be anal abut it, city center to city center, New Braunfels is significantly closet to sa, than San Marco is to austin...5 miles closer.

The midway town between aus tin and sa is Hunter.

Now look at a map.

You will note that Austin is not appreciably closer.

Stand by original statement.

At to why san macros needed to be qualified, relative another city: no idea. Must have needed to meet a word count.

Read for comprehension.

You might note I did not say what you claim I said.
