1. Volunteers boost San Antonio Stock Show cleanup efforts ahead of Spurs downtown move (kens5.com) — Volunteers are sprucing up an East Side connector road near the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo grounds as the area prepares for long-term changes tied to the Spurs’ planned 2032 downtown move. Organizers say the cleanup supports year-round events that already pump millions into the East Side economy and rely on hundreds of local volunteers to welcome visitors.
2. Why a new $2B Toyota assembly line in San Antonio isn't a done deal yet (ksat.com) — Toyota is weighing whether to put a new $2 billion assembly line, and 2,000 jobs, at its South Side San Antonio plant, but the deal hinges on major tax breaks and incentives. Local and state programs, including a Bexar County abatement hearing on June 23, will help determine if San Antonio beats out other Toyota sites.

Plan extra time and follow detours via the frontage road and Pat Booker Road to rejoin 1604 eastbound.
4. Is it illegal to convert your garage into a room in Texas? (mysanantonio.com) — Thinking about turning your San Antonio garage into a bedroom? You can, but city rules require permits, plan reviews, and compliance with strict standards on size, safety, and even replacement parking, which can push total project costs well into the tens of thousands.
5. 'You see it in movies:' Suspects posing as law enforcement break into southeast Bexar County home (kens5.com) — San Antonio-area residents are being warned after two men posing as law enforcement forced their way into a southeast Bexar County home, frightening a family but leaving everyone physically unharmed.
