Residents of Alamo Heights will soon have a fresh way to spend a Sunday afternoon. A rep from Four Seasons Markets confirmed that it is opening a new San Antonio farmers market on December 2 inside the Carousel Shopping Center at 1888 Nacogdoches Rd.

The market will be the second Alamo City outpost for the Dallas-Fort Worth based company. It made its local debut with a popular Saturday market at the Huebner Oaks Shopping Center at 11602 Huebner Rd. in June.

Four Seasons Markets was founded in 2009 in Garland, Texas, by a pair of French natives, Vincent Hirth and Florine Bowman. The idea was to bring a little bit of Europe — where open air markets are common — to Texas

According to the rep, the new Sunday market will be similar to the Huebner Oaks location, the though lineup is still being finalized. The focus is on food, from locally grown produce to artisanal goods, but other booths will focus on skin care, home products, and fashion accessories.

To find out which favorites will be at the market each week, check the events section of Four Seasons’ website each week. Or just stop by between 10 am-2 pm and let your stomach make all the decisions.

The addition makes the neighborhood a veritable utopia for lovers of just-picked seasonal vegetables and responsibly raised meat. Sundays also feature The Boardwalk on Broadway market and the Alamo Heights Farmers Market, both within a short drive from the Carousel.

The new venue is an extension of House Arrest, according to the event series and collective's founding musician.

A moody new bar and dance club is debuting soon in San Antonio. According to a post by Edward Silva, a.k.a. Lzrcat, Wav Room will be complete soon at 3000 N St. Mary’s St., the former home of the occult-inspired bar El Ojo.

"This project is especially meaningful, not just as an extension of @_house.arrest, but because of the love, thought, and passion poured into every detail," Silva wrote, referring to his musical collective and live series as of January 2023. "From designing the vinyl room (I’m no architect, but I gave it my all) to crafting a unique bar atmosphere, watching my silly drawings come to life was super cool to see."

Silva is working with John Michael Villanueva, Sophie Covo Gonzales, and Chad Carey of Empty Stomach Hospitality, who have worked together on other local projects like Paper Tiger, Midnight Swim, and High Horse.

A post on the House Arrest account promises new parties showcasing techno, hard groove, Jersey and Southern club music, and more in between.

Aesthetically, this bar is minimalist without veering into starkness. Photo shared by the various project members include a disco ball, sleek wood paneling, leather couches, and an overall Japanese look that calls to mind Tokyo's extremely trendy hi-fi listening rooms, which are making their way across big cities in the United States.

More than 100 people have commented on the December 12 post at the time of this article's publication, including one person who really activates the cleverness of the dance series: "Hm, might actually leave my house for this."
