We used to drive through there, down Highway 181, every summer on our way to Port A.

Me too! I grew up in Austin back when it was a small town. I was 2 in 1967 when my father was one of the first 73 IBM pioneers sent there in what later became a tech Mecca. I still do a week in Port A a year now even though I live in Ft. Worth, it is a great place to take off your watch.

Mustang Island is one of the few places left in the USA where the beaches are getting larger and I love it how when you ask people where they are from they mention a city rather than a state, everyone is from Texas. (If you are going to spend a lot of $ to go to a beach then there are better ones than the Texas ones but it is what we got)

That obnoxious pizza mogul’s mansion in Karnes City is still for sale if you’re interested/
