“It cost Manager Alfred Pawelek of the Midway Drive-In, Karnes City, $57.50 in taxi charges the other evening to show patrons the western feature he had advertised. The film for his program was due to arrive from Benavides but missed a bus connection at Corpus Christi, which threw it so far behind schedule that it would not have arrived until 8:20, an hour and 20 minutes too late for showtime. After hurried phone calls and a couple of ‘heart failures,’ Pawelek contacted a taxi company in Corpus Christi and ordered the film sent to Karnes City by cab. The taxi driver left Corpus Christi with the film at 5 and delivered it to Pawelek by 6:50 in time for the 7 p.m. showing.” — Boxoffice, July 4, 1960

A better address is 2835 U.S. 181, Karnes City, TX. It puts the pointer right on the spot in Google Maps.
