It’s not surprising that Current readers were happy to reminisce about the 1999 Spurs this week, but we didn’t realize so many of you were primed for gossip about Waco-based Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines.

In addition to Ted Cruz getting into it on Twitter again, readers checked out San Antonio’s new vaccination campaign, more drama surrounding Cowboys Dancehall and the surprising appearance of over 100 pounds of cocaine on a South Texas beach this week.

9. Student’s video of parents reading her acceptance letter into San Antonio’s Incarnate Word goes viral

8. Rooftop Cinema Club returns to San Antonio with new name, blockbuster flicks and food options

6. San Antonio surpasses 1 million vaccinated, offers free Fiesta Texas tickets for people who get jabbed

5. Around 110 pounds of cocaine wash ashore on the South Texas coast
