Mackiesville, Texas

Mackiesville is a ghost town in Caldwell County, in the U.S. state of Texas. It stands 11 mi (18 km) northeast of Lockhart in the northeastern portion of Caldwell County.[1]

History

A post office was established at Mackiesville in 1890, and remained in operation until 1904. This post office was thought to be the post office that also served the nearby unincorporated community of Saint Johns Colony. The settlement had a cotton gin and gristmill, a general store, and only a paltry 15 residents. After the post office closed in 1904, Mackiesville faded, and it did not appear on county highway maps or had any other further population estimates available since then.[1]

gollark: I'm pretty sure I remember there being some vulnerabilities in older Qualcomm wireless chips/drivers, patches for which will just never reach most of the affected stuff.
gollark: It would be especially great if, like phones now, your car just didn't get security patches after 5 months, and gained an ever-growing pile of remotely exploitable vulnerabilities.
gollark: They should probably just not have network access, except for a wired connection to upload maps and such. Unfortunately, someone will definitely do something stupid like... have a 4G connection in it for interweb browsing, make the entire thing run some accursed Android derivative and put the self-driving code on there too, and expose that to the user, and make it wildly insecure.
gollark: I'm sure someone will manage to entirely mess up the security, yes.
gollark: (Just kidding! There's no way car OSes will be (are, probably) non-locked-down enough to do that!)
