Man ! I started going to TXST in 2020 and it has changed so much from even then. It is so damn crazy to think how small this town used to be. No matter how different though the people are much the same. I love this place. Wish I could've been around to see it like this!
I was bread and buttered in SMT. I'm 40 now but geez I remember all of this. Good memories of our little town. Times have changed and it's a mini Austin now. Thank you for the flashback.
This brought a tear to my eye...seeing that old aquarena springs sign and the cow from sirloin stockade .I'm proud to have grown up in san marcos...I love my city
I left San Marcos around 80/81 so this video brings back some memories. I saw Eric Johnson and Wet Willie live on stage at a club/bar in San Marcos back then called the "Too Bitter" :>)
I moved to San Marcos in 1996, a decade later and this really reminds me to those years I lived there. I recognize almost every street hehe I don't see a big different. Thank you for sharing this! Great memories!
I was born in 1985 here in San Marcos TX I've lived here all my life and was watching this thinkiNg the same thing it honestly kinda still looks the same especially the downtown square area 😂😂😂 it just alot less crowded which looks so nice. Have a wonderful weekend
Nice bit of history, thanks for posting. Wanted to mention that Ah Via Musicom didn't come out until 1990, Eric Johnson's Tones album came out at the time of the video. The track "Zap" blew me away as a teenager then.
@@Idontwanttopickahandletoday right on. I'm going to send this to my wife, she went to Southwest back then and my daughter is attending school there now. Thanks again for posting.
Thank you for this video! I regularly think about how much San Marco's has changed. Wow has it grown. Its obviously so different today since then. I was really hoping towards the end of the video there would have been more steady hands of filming. For the longest time I have been friendly arguing with people the locations of the retail stores Munden's and Gibson's. Was hoping it would of been filmed! Oh well. Anyone care to give it a try of their locations?
I mean what if you could go back in time; into that day, into that very spot. Knowing very well you go never go back into 2020 until it arrives in another 34 years. Would you do it ? That would be a heavy burden to bare. The weight you would carry everyday would be just too painful. Sure it sounds cool from afar but no, there would be immense responsibility that would come with that.

Damn I’m glad RUclips recommended this! I graduated from Texas State in 2015, I absolutely LOVE San Marcos!
sanmarcos was a lot greener back then.
I moved to San Marcos and started SWT the Spring semester of '82 and still live here. Thanks for the memories!

This is legit! I hope my 2019 footage of the city is appreciated in the future like I appreciate this piece of tape from the past

Randomly found the video but I’m glad I did things look so different
RUclips recommend at its finest
Glad this was in my recommended. Graduated from TXST in 2018 so it's interesting to see San Marcos from a different decade.
Small town tx born and raised, rio vista and cheatham represent 512.
Thank you so much for uploading this. How times have changed!!
Thanks for posting this!!
I met Eric Johnson at a tote the note lot on Burnet rd in Austin. I complimented his music and he is so humble.

I knew that , just liked it for that video.

@@adrenalineguy The funny thing is we lived in Austin and would drive are old cars to San Marcos. Now I live here.
I can’t believe how different it looks. My dad would’ve lived here around this time, I live here now :)
wow. insane. university campus was a lot greener, as was the rest of the town. a bit of a concrete jungle now.
San Marcos is totally different now except for one thing.... that late night Whataburger
That Whataburger is still in the same place!
Actually, they moved it. It's like 200 feet from where it was. They built a new building right next to the old one and then demolished the old.
I live in San Marcos, Texas right on the Blanco River. 2020
damn, i live in sm and just came across this!
I lived in SM from 1975 to 2015, this brings back memories
Did you ever meet George Strait?
Who remember wuest grocery store?

Munden’s used to be where the Old Chuck Nash Auto was located, now Bushes Chicken close to BP.
No traffic! I kept looking for my Black CJ7 Jeep Laredo. lol
Long Live SanMo
Damn things have changed!
Valentno Pizza was good back then
But now it’s Sunnys pizza
Thje first part of the video looks like southbound I-35 at Ben White/St. Elmo in Austin before the shots around San Marcos start.
You are correct , I am a huge Pontiac fan was trying to get shot of the yellow Firebird Formula you see briefly at start.
Good One!!✌😎👍
Currently living there rn 🙌🏾. TXST in this bitch ! 😂💪🏾
holy shit it's so weird to see like this
wait i love this
Imagine investing in properties around this time! Business would be booming because of all the college kids renting apartments right now!
Texas state !!! Ya heardddd meeee
I was literally just there for a soccer tournament... weird
I am TEXAN❤️❤️
These were simpler times
Very different to how it looks now
Unfortunately it moving around so much made me feel kind of sick, it looked a lot different though.
It’s completely different nowadays
‘89 Rattler in da house
The yellow store used to be conoco lmao
Go cats!
Where does someone recover footage like this?
I had a video cam as a teen and when recordable dvds came out I transferred.

I donno… whataburger, cops, and distracted driving. Seems about the same.
Looks so weird... hardly recognizable.
