Temporary Road Closure to Occur In San Marcos for Film
Production This Week
A temporary road closure in San Marcos for film
production brings a quiet sense of curiosity to the everyday rhythm of the
city. You can imagine streets usually filled with familiar traffic slowing
down, crews moving equipment, and a little scene of creativity unfolding in
