Photographer’s Note: 
“This populous little town was once mainly a farming community. Many people residing there now work in nearby SintonCorpus Christi, and the surrounding area.  The old businesses along the old highway are mostly gone now.  A new four-lane highway (181) occupies the land where the railroad tracks were and grain elevators once stood.  The town currently has a convenience store and a tire shop where earlier a gas station once existed.” - William Beauchamp, April, 2009
